Staffing Notes
Canine Dimensions expects franchisees to personally operate their franchised business, particularly for dog training services, as dog training is to be conducted solely by the franchisee or the principal owner if the franchisee is a business entity. Franchisees are responsible for all aspects of hiring, training, directing, and supervising their own employees and independent contractors, including administrative assistants (referred to as Associates). There is no minimum number of Associates required by Canine Dimensions.
