Where will the mediation be conducted geographically for Canine Dimensions disputes?

According to Canine Dimensions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any mediation regarding disputes between the franchisee and Canine Dimensions will be conducted within five miles of Canine Dimensions' headquarters.

This means that if a franchisee has a dispute with Canine Dimensions that proceeds to mediation, the franchisee will be required to travel to the location within five miles of Canine Dimensions' headquarters for the mediation proceedings. This could present a significant cost and time burden for franchisees who do not live near Canine Dimensions' headquarters.

It is important for prospective franchisees to consider the location of Canine Dimensions' headquarters and the potential costs and burdens associated with traveling to that location for mediation. Franchisees should also be aware that they are responsible for their own costs of mediation and will share equally the filing fee imposed by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and the mediator's fees.
