Under what conditions will Dog Haus NOT provide the Pre-Opening Initial Training Program to a franchisee?

According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Pre-Opening Initial Training Program will not be provided if certain conditions are met. Specifically, Dog Haus will not provide the training program if the franchisee or any affiliate already owns or operates a Dog Haus restaurant as of the effective date of the agreement, or if they have already completed a Pre-Opening Initial Training Program. Additionally, the training program is not provided if the agreement is executed as a Renewal Franchise Agreement.

This means that if you are an existing Dog Haus franchisee looking to renew your agreement or if you or an affiliate already operate a Dog Haus location, you will not be eligible for the standard Pre-Opening Initial Training Program. This could be seen as a benefit for experienced franchisees who may not require the full initial training again.

However, new franchisees should be aware that this initial training is crucial for understanding the Dog Haus system and operational standards. It is important to note that Dog Haus retains the discretion to modify the length and content of the training program based on the experience and skill level of the individual attending. Therefore, even if a franchisee meets the criteria where the training program is not typically provided, Dog Haus may still offer some form of training if deemed necessary.
