START YOUR OWN DOG AGILITY TRAINING FRANCHISE
If you’ve been looking for the perfect business to become the epicenter of the dog-loving community in your town, and the chance to make a real difference in the lives of dogs and their families, the waiting is over!
Dog agility is the fastest-growing dog sport in the U.S., according to the AKC, and with the growing presence and popularity of televised agility competitions on Animal Planet and other networks, more and more dog owners are becoming aware of the fun and excitement of agility training.
The Franchisor’s motto is “We don’t train dogs. We train the people who love them.” The business model is different from other concepts as it is not a drop off training facility. Franchisees train owners to train their dogs, and to deeply understand, communicate and bond with their pets. Many of the clients commit to classes for basic obedience or puppy training. But once inside, they are exposed to the agility course, rankings posted on the chalkboard for the popular Agility League, playgroups, dog birthday parties, special events and more!
The Franchisor’s key revenue streams include dog training classes, socialization events, and retail products.
Why is this such a great business opportunity?
? The Franchisor is part of the booming $70 billion plus pet industry
? American pet spending is projected to hit almost $100 billion by the end of this decade.
? More than half of millennials say they would rather spend money on their pets than on themselves
? 68% of Americans report that exercising with their dog is more fun than exercising alone.
