According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 11 provides details regarding ongoing training. Hydrodog may offer additional training and support to franchisees and their staff through a continuous education program. This program is designed to maintain high standards and adapt to evolving business needs, but Hydrodog reserves the right to modify or discontinue any aspect of the program at any time.
