DO I NEED TO HAVE ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH TRAINING DOGS? You don’t need any prior experience in dog training, but you do need a love for dogs, and a desire to teach and coach dog owners. We understand that the majority of new franchise owners do not have prior experience with dog training and in most cases, owning their own businesses. Canine Dimensions prides itself on providing the best training and business support in the industry.
HOW LONG WILL I BE AT TRAINING AND WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO LEARN? Our initial training program consists of approximately 3 weeks of classroom training and testing, combined with hands-on dog training instruction where you will work with dozens of dogs of various breeds here in Southern New Jersey. After you complete your initial training, you will attend regularly scheduled webinars, conference calls and will come to an annual live conference here at headquarters. We are available 7 days a week to answer your questions. Additionally, your business support manager will visit you on-site after you’ve been up and running for a few months. Your training includes all of the business aspects of running a successful franchise, as well as our proprietary dog training and behavior modification system, which is effective in addressing all of the dog behavior problems your clients will encounter.
DOES CANINE DIMENSIONS OFFER FINANCING? We do not offer direct financing, but we do have a relationship with a third party that can assist you with financing.
WHAT ARE THE INITIAL FRANCHISE FEES AND ONGOING ROYALTY FEES? The initial franchisee fee is $47,500. Ongoing royalty is 9% of sales.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO OPEN MY FRANCHISE ONCE I HAVE SIGNED A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT? You will be ready to begin franchisee training within 4 to 6 weeks of signing your agreement. Once you graduate from training here at headquarters, you will be up and running immediately. (In fact, thanks to our Internet marketing program, most of our new franchisees already had clients scheduled within one week of returning home from training.)
WILL YOU HELP ME WITH MY INITIAL MARKETING STRATEGY? Yes. Our marketing approach is very comprehensive and includes both digital and grass roots marketing.
