What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees who send more than two people to the Pre-Opening Initial Training Program will incur an Additional Pre-Opening Initial Training Fee. This fee is $3,500 per additional trainee, per week. This fee covers the cost for additional personnel to attend the training program.
In addition to the per-trainee fee, the franchisee is responsible for Dog Haus's transportation costs, food, lodging, and similar costs. Specifically, this includes expenses for up to two round trip flights, two hotel rooms, and two rental vehicles for Dog Haus representatives.
Furthermore, the franchisee must also pay a $60 per diem for each Dog Haus representative who provides the training. These additional costs can accumulate quickly, especially if multiple additional trainees attend the program or if the training period extends over several weeks. It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in these potential expenses when planning their initial investment and training budget.
