Territory Protection
All Dogs Unleashed grants each franchisee a “Service Area” defined by geographic markers such as ZIP codes or city boundaries, which is detailed in the franchise agreement.
Within this area, the franchisor agrees not to authorize another franchise to offer dog training, grooming, or boarding services, provided the franchisee remains in compliance. This territorial protection allows the franchisee exclusive rights to operate under the All Dogs Unleashed brand in that location.
Despite this protection, the territory is not classified as “exclusive.” Franchisees may still face competition from outlets owned by the franchisor or from alternative distribution channels the franchisor may operate.
