How to Choose the Dog Training Franchise That's Right For You

Published on 08/02/2022 16:00:00

Dog training franchisees have one of the most sought-after jobs in the world. Working up close with dogs not only gives you the opportunity to be your own boss, but you’ll be able to make some exciting profits along the way. If franchising in the dog training sector sounds like the right opportunity for you, here’s how you can choose the right franchise.


Choosing the right dog training franchise for you is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. Some franchises will have different ways of working, operating and training, meaning that some franchises will be better suited to different people. 

When it comes to making a career change with a dog training franchise, you need to do the right amount of research to make sure that the dog training franchise you decide to work with is the right one for you. If you’re wondering what makes a good franchise, here are some things you could look out for.

A traditional dog training franchise 

There’s no such thing as a traditional dog training franchise. Each franchise will have its own ways of working, but will ultimately be prepared to help you work in your own ways throughout your time with them. In essence then, many existing dog training franchises are there to help you work in the way that suits you best. 

Some dog training franchises may have brick-and-mortar business premises, while others might empower you to work remotely if you prefer. While this could be liberating, it’s important to make sure that you have the right skills to help you make a success of yourself, however you’re working. Consider to what extent you have the following skills at your disposal: 

  • Organisation
  • Good business sense
  • The ability to lead a team, if you have one
  • Happy to work with dogs and their owners 
  • The ability to make some initial financial commitments 
  • Confidence when working under pressure

How to choose the right dog training franchise 

Choosing the right dog training franchise will come down as much to your own priorities and needs as it will come down to the franchise itself, so why not research Barking Mad franchise and see whether or not the specifics of this franchise are right for you. 

For a minimum investment of £10,000, you could become a Barking Mad franchisee and start your own dog training business. Your total investment will come to around £14,995, but with plenty of dedicated training and support to help you on your way, this could be a perfect franchising opportunity for you. 

A van-based dog training franchise 

You might prefer to skip the fixed premises route and take charge of your own operating locations yourself. If being your own boss and being in charge of your own working location sounds like the right thing for you, why not consider looking into operating a van-based or mobile franchise.

Because mobile franchises help you get around the overheads attached to fixed premises stores, you could likely find that these options are more affordable. That being said, as mobile franchises are still only a growing part of the dog training industry, there may not be many of these franchises around.

How to choose the right van-based franchise for you 

Van-based franchises require a few different skills to be successful and there are also some other things you need to be aware of. First of all, you should find out from whatever franchise you want to work with whether or not you’ll need to provide your own vehicle or if one will be included as part of your franchise package. 

Moreover, you will need to be aware that there may be certain additional taxes and insurance policies that you might need to pay, and some of these might not be included in your minimum franchise investment. 

Hybrid dog training franchise 

You might even be able to combine some of the advantages of both kinds of franchise. On the one hand, you could be going customer to customer, door to door, helping train dogs for fit and active lifestyles. But with many people working long hours and potentially only having free time here and there, you might also want to consider offering remote, or virtual, dog training courses. 

Being able to combine both types of instruction could be a great way to build a business around the lifestyle of your customers, so consider whether this could be the right franchising opportunity for you. 

How to choose the right hybrid dog training franchise for you

Devising the right working patterns for your business will be a matter for discussion between you and your franchisor. When it comes to the initial screening interviews, business plan meetings and any other relevant conversations, express your interest in offering hybrid services - you might find your franchisor embraces it warmly. 

Choose the right dog training franchise for you

Whatever your budgetary restrictions, personal ambitions and lifestyle intentions, running your own dog training franchise is an excellent way for you to make the most of the dog training sector, all while minimising the common pitfalls. 

But if you feel like this sector isn’t quite right for you - don’t worry. There are hundreds of franchising opportunities on Point Franchise, meaning that even if this sector isn’t quite right for you, you’re sure to find the right business that suits your needs on the UK franchise directory.
