Under what conditions is a Canine Dimensions franchisee required to pay for additional on-site training?

According to Canine Dimensions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is required to pay for additional on-site training under specific circumstances. If the franchisee requests additional on-site training at their franchised business, or for an additional proposed equity owner, they will be responsible for covering the costs. Additionally, if Canine Dimensions determines, at its sole discretion, that a franchisee would benefit from additional on-site training, the franchisee is also responsible for the associated expenses.

The costs include Canine Dimensions' then-current per diem rate per trainer, which is currently $350 per day. The franchisee must also reimburse Canine Dimensions for all costs related to providing the on-site training, including expenses for travel, lodging, and meals for the trainer.

This means that franchisees need to budget not only for the initial training but also for potential additional training needs that may arise. The franchisor has the discretion to mandate further training, which could create unexpected costs for the franchisee. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand these potential costs and factor them into their financial planning. Franchisees should also consider the circumstances under which they might request additional training and the associated financial implications.
