WHY YOU SHOULD LEAVE YOUR JOB FOR A LIFE-CHANGING DOG DAYCARE FRANCHISE
- 50% LOWER INVESTMENT: Our investment is lower than the national competition because our cost-effective, dog-friendly materials make the initial buildout less. We focus on creating a safe and fun space for dogs! Our initial investment starts at just $457,200!
- CONTINUED SUCCESS: The average store open five years or more generated $905,531** in gross profit and $438,133* in AVG NET OPERATING INCOME per store in 2022. This industry is booming, and our model offers an ROI unlike anything in the franchise world.
- MAKE A DIFFERENCE: With a passion for giving back to the community, our Franchise Owners love being able to partner with Hounds Town Charities to offer discounted doggie daycare, boarding, and other services to dogs waiting for their “furever” homes.
- LEARN FROM A GENUINE DOG TRAINING PIONEER: With almost 40 years of direct police canine experience, our Founder, Michael Gould, is the industry’s “Unrivaled Canine Expert” and is our Franchise Owners’ secret weapon in success.
- NO BREED DISCRIMINATION: We understand how to handle dogs of all breeds and temperaments. This leads to more revenue, customer referrals, and happier dogs.
WE’VE SIMPLIFIED OUR OPERATIONS & LOWERED OWNERS’ COSTS
Not only is our build-out simple but running the business is as well! We have relatively low overhead and smaller staffing requirements than our competitors.
We focus on the dogs in ways that others don't. Because of our staff's deep knowledge of canine psychology, we've created facilities with dogs' true wants and needs in mind, which keeps the build-out inexpensive and straightforward.
