Instinct Dog Training - Franchise

Make an Impact in Your Community
Dogs are family for all of us at Instinct Dog Behavior & Training®. It’s that simple principle that guides us as we help dogs and owners happily co-exist every day. Now, we’re looking for franchise partners to help us bring our vision of A Kinder World through Dog Training™ to thousands more dogs and owners in urban markets across the country.

Franchising
We are a purpose-driven company that is deeply committed to improving the lives of dogs and owners through kind, practical dog behavior & training services. As an Instinct franchisee, you’ll spend your days providing help and hope to dogs and owners in your city. You’ll foster empathy and kindness in your clients and your team members while providing valued career opportunities in your community. And, you’ll be working toward a better future for yourself through business ownership.

The Opportunity

• 68% of U.S. households own a pet. 89.7 million of those pets are dogs
• Spending on pets is rising annually in the U.S
• Consumers spend more on companion animals than nearly any other category
• The pet market has more than tripled in size since 1994, growing from $17 billion to over $60 billion in 2015 in the U.S. alone
