Q) What type of dog training experience is required?
A) Our franchisees come from a variety of different backgrounds. Most of them had no previous professional dog training experience, but all of them have qualities that have helped them become successful as professional dog trainers with Canine Dimensions. First, they love dogs. Second, they love working with people – teaching, training and coaching their clients, as well as their clients' dogs. Much of dog training is really people training.
Additionally, many of our franchisees give back to their communities by volunteering at rescues and shelters. Canine Dimensions was founded with a vision – to reduce the number of dogs surrendered to animal shelters due to behavior problems. We remain committed to this vital mission.

Q) What type of training and ongoing support is provided to franchisees?
A) Our franchisee training program is second to none. Unlike "dog training schools" this is NOT internet based training. We provide several weeks of both classroom and "hands-on training working with dozens of different dogs of many different ages and breeds, with a wide variety of temperaments, behaviors and personalities. In addition, after you graduate from training we provide ongoing business support with the daily operation of your dog training business.
Our franchisee training program is much more than just how to train dogs – we teach you how to earn a good living as a professional dog trainer.
