What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, additional training may be required if a franchisee or their staff fails to meet the company's performance or compliance standards. This additional training can take place in several locations.
The training may be conducted on-site within the franchisee's territory, offering a hands-on learning experience in their own business environment. Alternatively, Hydrodog may offer online training programs, providing flexibility and convenience for franchisees and their staff. Training can also occur at Hydrodog's main location, allowing franchisees to learn directly from the source and interact with other members of the Hydrodog team. Finally, Hydrodog reserves the right to designate another location for training, providing them with the flexibility to adapt to changing needs and circumstances.
Regardless of the location, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs associated with additional training. These costs include the then-current fee for additional training, as well as all travel and living expenses for each trainer. If the training is conducted at Hydrodog's location, the franchisee is also responsible for all travel, lodging, meals, and incidental expenses incurred by them and their personnel attending the training. This financial responsibility underscores the importance of meeting Hydrodog's performance and compliance standards to avoid incurring additional training expenses.
