What conditions must a Dog Haus franchisee meet to be considered in 'Good Standing' when requesting consent for assignment?

According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must be in 'Good Standing' both when requesting consent for assignment and until the date the assignment closes. The FDD does not define 'Good Standing.'

Typically, 'Good Standing' in franchise agreements means the franchisee is current on all payments and in compliance with all operational standards and contractual obligations. This is a common requirement to ensure the brand's reputation is upheld by franchisees who are performing well.

Since the specific criteria for 'Good Standing' are not detailed in this section of the FDD, it is important for a prospective Dog Haus franchisee to ask the franchisor for a clear definition. Understanding these requirements is crucial, as failure to meet them could prevent the franchisee from selling their business when they decide to exit.
