If you are looking for information on the Canine Dimensions In-Home Dog Training franchise business opportunity, Canine Dimensions In-Home Dog Training franchises or Canine Dimensions In-Home Dog Training franchising, then you have come to the right place.
If you love man's best friend, enjoy helping people and would like to make a living in a business with great rewards and personal satisfaction, then being a Canine Dimension's franchise owner just might be for you.
Unlike more expensive franchises that come with very high start up costs, Canine Dimensions can be started and run from the comfort of your home with no special equipment and no need to lease commercial space.
One of the most rewarding parts of being a dog trainer is the joy of helping families and dogs find a way to live together in harmony. A trained dog is a happy and safe dog. Dog owners seek help for many reasons. In some cases they cannot find a way to keep their family member from wandering off, or get their dog to follow life-saving commands like "come". Imagine the satisfaction of knowing how many dogs will not be accidentally hit by cars or even taken by strangers after being properly trained by a professional.
As a Canine Dimensions certified dog trainer and franchisee, you will be the answer to the prayers of dog owners that love their dogs, but just cannot find a way to deal with barking, house breaking or other behavioral issues. Every year thousands of dogs unfortunately end up at local shelters because owners just cannot find a way solve their dogs' behavior problems. We have many heart warming letters thanking us for keeping their dog-centric family together.
Even if you're a pure beginner, our certification program is designed to fully train you in the Canine Dimensions system. After you complete your training we will be there to help and support you every step of the way.
Our proprietary dog training and behavior modification systems are designed for busy, working people who want effective, lasting results. Our balanced training methods combine modern operant conditioning techniques with traditional and intuitive training protocols - all them 100% humane and natural, not old school dominance based.
Americans now spend over $30 billion a year on their pets. The demand for our services is at its highest ever, thanks in part to television reality programs featuring people and their pets. People now know that their pet's behavior problems can often be solved with the help of a professional.
According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (APPMA) 2001-2002 National Pet Owners Survey:
You receive a lot more than just learning how to effectively train dogs; you learn how to make a living in the dog training business. There is a BIG difference. As a Canine Dimensions Franchisee you receive all the training protocols, business support and knowledge developed over the last 11 years. In addition to becoming a Canine Dimensions certified dog trainer the franchise system includes branding, advertising and marketing help, sales training, add on products and more.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
