In today’s podcast we discuss the rise in the number of dog training franchises in recent years and how their impact on dog training. Is working with a franchise dog trainer a good or bad thing? We’ll discuss this and delve into one of the biggest drawbacks of dog training franchises which is the lack of flexibility.Franchises dictate specific training methods, and training tools. We discuss the costs involved in franchising, why the rise in dog training franchises and the potential drawbacks the average dog owner might not realize.Franchise models often prioritize uniformity, which hinders a trainer's ability to tailor their approach to each dog's needs and individual characteristics. True expertise in dog training comes from years of hands-on experience and the ability to adapt techniques to suit different personalities and challenges. Every dog is unique, and what works for one might not work for another.Personalized training allows trainers to connect deeply with both the dog and the owner, creating a more rewarding experience for everyone involved. Independent trainers have the freedom to continually refine their methods, incorporate new research, and stay at the forefront of the field. This adaptability ultimately benefits the dogs and their families by providing the most effective and compassionate training possible.
