Dog Business for Sale? Try Franchising
Take The 1 Minute Quiz To See If You QualifyLooking For a Rewarding Career Move? Consider Opening a Dog Business for Sale!
Whether you are an experienced pet owner, just love animals or have little experience with pets but are looking for a career that makes a difference, there is joy to be found in running a dog-focussed business.
There’s a reason why there are so many dog businesses for sale on the market today — demand is high. It’s estimated 67% of American households include a four-legged friend. In fact, the number of homes with pets has increased 20% in the last 30 years, and those numbers continue to increase.
With more businesses allowing employees to work from home, more people have welcomed dogs into their homes. This has only strengthened the industry, now worth an estimated $222 billion per year.
Having a pet in a home can bring great joy, but it also brings work. Businesses like Dog Training Elite help lighten the load of owners by providing the dog with important training and skills and owners with the knowledge they need to help direct appropriate behaviors. Well-trained dogs are not only happier dogs, but safe dogs. You will have the daily satisfaction of knowing you have helped make your community safer, and paved the way for families to have years of happy memories with their furry family members.
"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."

Experienced Pet Handler or Not, Dog Training Elite is for You
Franchising offers entrepreneurs the benefits of flexible business ownership coupled with the support of the franchise itself. With more than 40 years of experience in the dog-training business, you get to draw upon the knowledge of those who have gone before while also taking into account the needs of your specific market.
When you have questions, you have a network of support ready to assist you. Instead of starting from the ground up, you have immediate brand recognition. Instead of unknown financial requirements, you’ll know what you need to get started, and have a pretty good idea of when you can start seeing a return on your investment.
Ultimately, our owners come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some love dogs and can’t wait to bring their own dog to work with them every day. Some simply believe in the power dogs have to make a difference in others. Others want to be involved in a business that has a positive impact on the community.
Whatever your experience, if you are driven to succeed, there is a place for you in Dog Training Elite — no dog training license required.
Take Advantage of Semi-Absentee Franchise Ownership
What sets Dog Training Elite apart from other dog businesses for sale? As a semi-absentee model franchise, our owners make business ownership a part of their lives while still fulfilling other responsibilities or enjoying other aspects of their lives. In fact, once the business is up and running, many of our owners only dedicate 10-15 hours of their week to being directly involved with the daily operations of their location.
Instead, owners hire managers and other employees to handle the day-to-day work. As a semi-absentee owner, it is important for you to be aware of how well the business is doing and to be involved in guiding it to success, but most owners find they can utilize their franchise as a source of comparatively passive income. In fact, some of our owners work full-time jobs elsewhere while also keeping an eye on their Dog Training Elite location.
It is also common for retirees to use a semi-absentee franchise to keep a steady source of income that allows for high flexibility in enjoying the perks of retired life. In fact, since the Dog Training Elite model involves dog trainers going into the homes of dog owners rather than owning a specific location, you’ll be able to operate largely out of your home office, or even take care of business on the road.
Semi-absentee owners are still able to turn an impressive profit with Dog Training Elite. Dog training is in high demand, and with a range of classes from traditional obedience training to more specific needs of therapy or service dogs, there are many revenue streams available to Dog Training Elite owners. With a low initial investment and a quick turnaround, you’ll be running in as little as four weeks, ready to start turning a profit and fulfilling your business goals.
