More About This Franchise

With 40+ years of experience, Dog Training Elite is America’s #1 dog training franchise! Unlike many of our competitors, we understand that each client has different needs, and tailor our programs to accommodate their unique situation. We bring our programs directly to our customers in the convenience of their homes, as we strengthen the relationships between dogs and their owners.


At Dog Training Elite, we offer proven systems and processes that allow Franchise Owners to begin their business within 4-6 weeks of signing an agreement! Launching quickly, combined with the surging need for dog training, and our cutting edge marketing techniques equates to a fast and strong ROI for our Owners. An additional benefit to our model is that we have no brick and mortar facility and minimal staff, cutting overhead costs significantly and allowing for easy scalability and incredible margins.



Our Owners are given a large degree of freedom in setting their own schedule. They have the ability to hire Trainers to complete the dog training so they can focus their time and energy on growing the business. This is a special opportunity for Franchise Owners, looking to make a long-lasting impact in their community and do something meaningful each day!



Business Features:

Semi-Absentee Opportunity: Dog Training Elite Franchise Owners do not need to take on the role of dog training! With a Lead Trainer in place, Franchise Owners can run the business semi-absentee, focusing their efforts on scaling and overseeing high-level operations.


High Revenues and Quick ROI: Our average gross revenues in 2019 were $408,087 with our top performer bringing in $507,351! Not to mention, we have seen year over year sales increases averaging 33%. Pair that with our starting investment of only $76,300, and our Owners are seeing a full return in as little as 6-9 months!


Home-Based: We perform training sessions in our client’s homes, so there is no need for a physical training facility. Because there is no buildout, Owners have the ability to get their business up and running in as little as 4-6 weeks from signing their agreement, allowing them to start generating revenue faster. Additionally, no lease is required and employees are minimal, resulting in very attractive margins and next to no overhead.


Few Clients Required: With the cost of our most popular training package at $1,800, our Owners only need to add 2- 4 new clients each week to be profitable. One Trainer alone can handle 40-50 dogs per week, so this low volume does not mean an increase in employees. Also, because we have consistent lead flow from the website, Franchise Owners never experience a shortage of dogs to train!


Increasing Demand in a Recession Resistant Industry: The pet industry has proven time and again to be recession resistant, and is growing faster than ever right now! Pet adoptions skyrocketed with the onset of COVID-19, increasing by 110% in 2020. The demand for our services has never been greater!


Scalable: 70% of Dog Training Elite Owners own multiple territories because there is almost no reason not to! All that is required to grow into another territory is the additional franchise fee, marketing, and a Trainer to cover the area.


Community Involvement: At Dog Training Elite, we strive to make a difference in the lives of dogs and their families in the communities we serve. We have our own non-profit organization, The Malinois Foundation, where we have a mission of healing through canine assistance. We train service dogs for veterans and provide individuals suffering from PTSD, physical disabilities, and other special needs with a dog that can comfort and assist them.
