Asking Price:
$37,500
Sales Revenue:
Not applicable
Cash Flow:
Undisclosed

An opportunity to acquire an established Chicago dog training brand, complete website, domain name, and associated digital assets, with comprehensive professional dog trainer education, business and sales training, and marketing support — for a fraction of the cost of a traditional franchise, with no franchise royalties or ongoing franchise fees.

This opportunity offers an alternative to starting a dog training business from scratch or purchasing a traditional franchise. Instead of paying substantial franchise fees and ongoing royalties, the buyer acquires the business assets outright and operates independently.

The opportunity includes an existing Chicago-focused website, established branding, and a digital presence that a new owner can build upon.

The package includes professional dog trainer education through an expert with more than 35 years of experience in the dog training industry who has personally trained over 100 professional dog trainers.

In addition to learning how to train dogs professionally, the new owner receives business and sales training covering client consultations, converting inquiries into paying customers, pricing services, and managing the day-to-day operations of a dog training business.

Marketing and startup support includes guidance on local SEO, Google visibility, online marketing, and generating customer inquiries. Marketing efforts can begin while the buyer completes professional training, helping establish a local presence before launching operations.

Unlike a traditional franchise, there are no franchise royalties, no ongoing franchise fees, and no requirement to share future revenue. The buyer owns the acquired brand, website, and associated business assets outright.

This is an asset purchase, not an established revenue-producing business. It is particularly well suited to someone seeking a career change, an opportunity for self-employment, or a way to enter the professional dog training industry with training, business guidance, and marketing support already available.

Own your own dog training business in Chicago, without the expense and ongoing financial obligations of a traditional franchise.
