Training

Waggles provides a comprehensive training program to its franchisees:

1. Pre-Opening Training
   This program is available to the Principal Executive and up to three other employees. Training is conducted at Waggles Franchising's headquarters or another designated Waggles location. The training content and duration may vary depending on the participants' skill levels and prior experience.
2. Initial Training Program
   This includes a comprehensive overview of establishing and operating a Waggles Puppies business. Training topics cover operational procedures, customer demographics, staffing, vendor management, and more. It consists of classroom and on-the-job training sessions scheduled at the franchisor's location.
3. Market Introduction Plan Guidance
   Waggles Franchising advises franchisees on planning and executing a market introduction strategy tailored to their territory and business needs.
4. Post-Opening Training
   This training can be mandated for the Principal Executive or other employees as required. Programs may be conducted in various formats and locations, and franchisees are responsible for covering associated fees and expenses.

Territory Protection

Waggles Franchising provides its franchisees with a protected territory under the terms of the franchise agreement. Within this exclusive territory, neither the franchisor nor other franchisees are permitted to establish outlets selling similar goods or services under the same trademarks.

This territorial exclusivity is maintained regardless of sales volume, market penetration, or other conditions.

However, the franchisor retains certain rights within and outside the designated territory. They can operate or license businesses that offer similar services but under different trademarks, and they may use alternative distribution channels, such as the internet or catalogs, to sell products in the territory.
