What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, new franchisees must complete the required training program at least 30 days before opening their HydroDog Business. This ensures that franchisees are adequately prepared with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate their franchise effectively from day one. HydroDog may deliver all or part of the training online or via video.
Prospective franchisees should factor this 30-day requirement into their business launch timeline. Failing to complete the training within this timeframe could delay the opening of the HydroDog Business. Franchisees are responsible for all travel, living, and compensation expenses incurred by themselves and their trainees during training.
HydroDog also stipulates that franchisees and their trainees must successfully complete the HydroDog Academy, including passing all required assessments, before opening their business. Upon completion, franchisees and trainees receive a certificate, which may be required for operational approval. This comprehensive approach to training underscores HydroDog's commitment to ensuring that franchisees are well-equipped to meet the brand's standards and provide quality service.
