America’s Fastest Growing
Dog Training Franchise
For over 40 years, our Founder John Mestas has been working with dogs and perfecting our proven training techniques for standard obedience testing, behavior correction, and helping relationships between dogs and their owners!
With multiple revenue streams, outstanding economics, and an industry-leading home-based business concept that is convenient to both trainers and dog owners, Dog Training Elite is the ideal dog training franchise opportunity for dog lovers and savvy investors alike.
Why Own a Dog Training Elite?
Your Dog is Your Co-Owner
Whether you choose to act as the Lead Trainer or oversee operations on a semi-absentee basis, Dog Training Elite is a dog lover's dream business! You and your dog will be the face of a local business that empowers dogs and their owners to work together.
Low Investment with Impressive Margins
As a home-based dog training business, there is no need for a brick and mortar facility. This, plus the limited staffing requirements and low overhead costs, makes for incredibly impressive margins and increased profitability potential.
Multiple Revenue Streams
Our 7 different training programs and group training options provide multiple revenue streams to our Franchise Owners for added security and the potential for higher ROI.
Personal Fulfillment
Working with dogs and the dog owners to build a solid foundation for communication, not to mention training service dogs and therapy animals, is a highly rewarding experience.
Community Involvement
Our Franchise Owners strive to make a difference in the lives of dogs and their families. We have created our own non-profit organization, the Malinois Foundation, which promotes healing through canine assistance.
Lifestyle-Friendly Business
With a semi-absentee ownership option, the Dog Training Elite opportunity is ideal for people who seek a healthy work-life balance to spend more time with family or concentrate on growing their dog training business.
"I was working for an international company. I was just another number to them. I thought, 'I don't want to go back to work for somebody.' I decided I wanted to train dogs professionally."
