As demand for professional dog training surges, aspiring entrepreneurs are finding that The Dog Wizard franchise stands out for its robust support systems and investor-friendly model.
At its core, The Dog Wizard operates on a fundamental difference: you own your business, you don’t just license it. That translates into full control and all the upside of building and growing your own dog training enterprise.
Support starts early. Comprehensive onboarding equips first-time owners with a customized website, phone, social media setup, CRM training, and full corporate backing. Overall, it’s everything needed to launch quickly and confidently. The corporate team fields inbound customer calls, schedules appointments, and backs you with a national marketing and YouTube presence, dramatically reducing lift on foundational marketing.
No prior dog-training experience? No problem. The Dog Wizard Academy provides training in everything from obedience and off-leash work to health, safety, and even overnight boarding protocols, all while teaching you to operate the business as well. Plus, you tap into one of the nation’s largest independent dog-trainer networks for continual support and best practices.
The financial structure is transparent. Typical franchise fees are $50,000, and total startup costs range from $85,400 to $124,000, with franchisees needing a net worth of at least $250,000 and with liquid capital between $50k and $100k. Ongoing fees include 8% royalties and 2% marketing contributions.
Within these financials lies a business model rich in diversification:
- Home-based and mobile-friendly, greatly reducing overhead.
- Broad service offerings, from obedience to specialty classes like puppy prep, scent work, and grooming socialization.
- Opportunity to add training onto existing pet-related businesses, boosting revenues by over 30% in some cases.
Franchisees also speak to value and support. One operator stated: “The support from The Dog Wizard team has been incredible. I’ve built a community and a profitable business that I love!”
In sum, The Dog Wizard delivers a business format that minimizes barriers, maximizes support, and expands opportunity. It is the ideal opportunity for entrepreneurs who want purpose, community, and profit.
