TailWaggers Doggy Daycare offers a comprehensive training program aimed at preparing franchisees and their management teams for successful operation. The programs are clearly structured and address both the launch and ongoing development of the business.
TailWaggers Doggy Daycare does not offer exclusive territories to its franchisees. Instead, each franchisee is assigned an "Area of Primary Responsibility," defined by ZIP codes or physical boundaries.
While the franchisor agrees not to alter this area during the agreement if the franchisee remains compliant, it reserves the right to operate or license competing businesses within or outside that area.
Franchisees must limit their marketing and business activities to their assigned area and are prohibited from soliciting customers in another franchisee's area. The franchisor may also engage in direct sales through channels like the internet or catalogs within any area, including the franchisee’s, without compensation.
