How am I supported once I am a franchisee?
We pride ourselves on the support we give, not just during your startup process, but until you build the empire you desire. We are working hard every day to offer more and more support opportunities to make your dog training franchise as successful as it can be.
Can I talk to existing Franchisees before buying a franchisee?
Absolutely! Once we know more about you, we can set up times to chat with several of our partnered dog training businesses that are similar in experience level, geographical location, etc.
Where does training take place?
All training takes place at our training Academy just outside Cincinnati, OH.
How long is the training process?
The length of the training does depend on how much experience in the pet industry you have coming in. We have some owners that have joined our team with years of extensive dog training prior, so their learning path will be different than a new person with little to no prior experience. Regardless of your experience, you will receive extensive training on our systems, strategies, business models, and culture. To find out more about our training methods and process, get in touch with our team.
Do I need to be the day-to-day dog trainer to own a Dog Wizard franchise, or can I be an investor/ business owner with trainers I hire?
No. We have several franchise owners that are not the day-to-day trainers. These owners/investors have hired trainers that are trained within our systems to do the day to day training operations. This is a supported franchising model within our system designed and built to operate with ease. The trainers you hire will have to go through our entire training program and be approved to operate by one of our Lead Trainer Certification Teams.
How am I trained to be a dog trainer?
We have an extensive training process that involves online learning, business coaching, hands ON learning, and continuous learning opportunities, all of which fall under our proprietary Training Badge verification program.
Do I need to have previous dog training experience to own a Dog Wizard franchise?
No! In fact a lot of our locations are owned and operated by people who have transitioned from a wide variety of business experience but have a passion for dogs. We have current franchisees that had no previous canine training experience what so ever prior to owning their franchise, and have become both passionate and knowledgeable in our training methodology.
What dog training service territories are available?
The Dog Wizard has training locations across the United States and Canada. The actual territory sizes vary depending on population density. The best way to learn what areas are available is by talking with our sales team.
Do you offer continuing learning opportunities?
Yes! Dog training is forever evolving and changing, and we take pride in our ability and eagerness as a brand to focus on our continuing education and approach to learn and be at the forefront of that knowledge. We offer yearly a conference where there are ongoing learning opportunities within our specialty badge program.
