Retired Police Officer?
Try Franchising!
Take The 1 Minute Quiz To See If You Qualify Becoming a part of a dog training franchise is one of the most fulfilling jobs for retired police officers.
Transitioning out of the police force for retirement can pose its own set of challenges and questions. Even when you know it’s the right time to exit a career as a police officer, it can be scary to face all the possible next steps and answer for yourself: what happens now?
While retirement doesn’t always have to mean never working again, most retirees hope to enjoy more freedom in their schedules and more time to spend on their hobbies and interests, and with their families. That’s why becoming a Franchise Owner can be the perfect next job for a retired police officer!
Working within the system of a franchise can help your business-owning dreams come true while taking out much of the guesswork and solitude of such an endeavor. Becoming a Franchise Owner leverages important skills from a police career such as teamwork, applying training, and working within a tried and true structure. One of the best franchise types as jobs for a retired police officer is a dog training franchise. Learn more about becoming a Franchise Owner with Dog Training Elite!

Flexibility
After years and years of service, it’s time to live life on your terms! As a Franchise Owner with Dog Training Elite, you work on your own schedule. If you’re looking for retirement jobs that don’t have to demand all your waking hours, you’ve found one!
Franchise Owners with Dog Training Elite can choose between a fully hands-on or a semi-absentee model. If you choose, you can run the business and train dogs. On the other hand, in a semi-absentee model, you’ll be in charge of the behind-the-scenes business management side of things, but will hire a trainer to handle clients and training.
Dog Training Elite is a home-based business, meaning that if you choose a semi-absentee model, you’ll be able to do all of your work from the comfort of your home! If you choose to do the training yourself instead of hiring a trainer, you’ll be commuting to your clients’ homes for training sessions.
Whether you’re hoping to dedicate more time to travel, your grandchildren, an artistic hobby or simply relaxation, becoming a Franchise Owner is a fantastic option when it comes to jobs for retired police officers. Franchising can give you more power over your time and schedule while still providing lucrative income opportunities.
Expansive Opportunities
In addition to the flexibility in your schedule and location as a Franchise Owner, there’s also flexibility when it comes to how large or small your business is! 80% of Dog Training Elite Franchise Owners own multiple territories, which means you can expand your business into additional areas if you’d like! Or, you can keep it local and small — it’s all up to you!
By 2023, the pet care industry is projected to bring in $283 billion! That means that becoming a Franchise Owner in this industry can open the door to huge income opportunities with the right support and marketing.
Transferable Skills
Becoming a Franchise Owner for a dog training franchise is one of the most ideal retirement jobs for those leaving the police force because there are numerous transferable skills. While no specific experience or licensing is needed when you begin, your background serving your community can work in your favor as you build your business.
Skills and traits required for police officers such as discipline, a team mindset, and a proactive attitude will all give you a leg up in establishing your business. Plus, your service-focused heart is ideal for your work to improve the lives of dogs and families in your community!
Fulfilling Path
From serving your community as a police officer to serving your community by building bonds between dogs and their families, becoming a Franchise Owner with Dog Training Elite allows you to keep making a positive impact! Programs at Dog Training Elite are created to make communities safer and more harmonious, and to help train dogs to contribute to others!
