What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, additional training is required under two circumstances. First, if a franchisee requests additional on-site training for themselves or an additional owner, they will be required to pay for it. Second, Canine Dimensions may determine that a franchisee would benefit from additional on-site training, in which case the franchisee must also pay for it.
The cost for this additional training is $350 per day, plus the costs of transportation, lodging, and meals for the trainer. This fee is due 15 days after billing. This means that franchisees need to be prepared to cover these costs if they feel they need extra support or if Canine Dimensions mandates further training.
Franchisees should consider the potential need for, and cost of, additional training when budgeting for their Canine Dimensions franchise. It is important to proactively assess training needs and discuss them with Canine Dimensions to avoid unexpected expenses. Understanding the criteria Canine Dimensions uses to determine if additional training is necessary can also help franchisees anticipate and prepare for such situations.
