What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Hydrodog Franchise Disclosure Document, Hydrodog may require additional training if a franchisee or their staff fails to meet the company's performance or compliance standards. If Hydrodog requires, or the franchisee requests and Hydrodog agrees to provide, additional training or assistance, the franchisee must pay Hydrodog's then-current fee for additional training, called "Additional Training Fees."
The additional training or assistance may be conducted on-site within the franchisee's territory, online, at Hydrodog's location, or at another location Hydrodog designates. In addition to the Additional Training Fees, the franchisee is also responsible for covering all travel and living expenses for each trainer, regardless of where the training takes place. These Training Expenses include transportation, lodging, meals, and incidental expenses.
For any training conducted at Hydrodog's location, the franchisee is responsible for all travel, lodging, meals, and incidental expenses incurred by the franchisee and their personnel while attending the training. This means that franchisees need to budget not only for the training fees themselves but also for potential travel and accommodation costs for both the trainers and their own staff, depending on the location of the training.
