Definition Of Ownership
Sit Means Sit is a franchise.
In addition to a one-time Franchise fee, there is a fixed monthly royalty payment.
Being a franchise holder enables you to be trained in our revolutionary dog training system and entitles you to our full support to ensure your business success. The process of owning and operating a Sit Means Sit franchise in your area is simple and stress-free. We’re expanding around the globe so wherever you are, it’s probably a market where we’d like to open a new SMS franchise.
Start by submitting an application.
After we receive and review it, we’ll send you the corresponding FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) and the standard process begins. There is a time line of events that must take place to protect your best interests that in total take approximately a little over two weeks to complete. Once completed and all background checks are cleared, the final step is securing your certification training dates. You will receive real world training. Our certification program is demanding and precise. Within your program you will be educated daily and expected to study the SMS manual daily. Written evaluations and final exams are standard as are the practical applications of your dog handling and teaching skills. The curriculum covers all aspects of the hands on business including but not limited to aggressive dogs, timid dogs, all behavioral issues, puppy programs, shelter dogs, group classes, board and train packages, customer service, marketing, internet marketing, video editing, blog work, office management, hosting SMS events and much more, so that when you graduate from our certification training, you return home, armed with the skill sets you will need to build a solid business doing what you love.
