About Hounds Town USA

Hounds Town USA does interactive doggie daycare and boarding the best! We are a premier interactive doggie daycare that offers a range of services, including overnight boarding, spa treatments, and more. What sets Hounds Town apart is the deep understanding of canine psychology brought by our founder, Mike Gould. This expertise has allowed us to create facilities tailored to dogs' natural behaviors and needs, ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and enriching environment. Our approach keeps operations simple and effective, prioritizing the well-being of dogs while maintaining high standards of care.

Hounds Town is also committed to community support through Hounds Town Charities, where we partner with local organizations to make a positive impact. We offer discounted services to shelter and rescue dogs awaiting adoption, helping hundreds of dogs find their forever homes in 2023 alone. Our focus on the holistic well-being of dogs and dedication to community involvement are at the heart of everything we do, making Hounds Town a trusted name in pet care across the country.

Business Features - Where Passion Meets Profitability and Purpose Drives Performance

• Proprietary Dog Management: We Didn't Hire Expertise. We Created It. Hounds Town is the only dog daycare in the world that practices dog management the way we do - through Houndology, our proprietary, proactive instinct-based approach created by our founder and former NYPD K-9 Unit Commander, Mike Gould. Rooted in how dogs naturally form packs, Houndology organizes structured playgroups based on size, temperament, personality, energy level, and play style. This results in safer play, lower stress, fewer behavioral issues, and stronger unit economics. Franchisees are trained to manage dogs with clarity, consistency, and confidence - no prior experience needed.

• Infrastructure That Performs: At Hounds Town, our business model mirrors our dog management philosophy - straightforward, instinctual, and focused on what actually matters. We've cut the noise and doubled down on what works. Designed to be easy to operate and cost-effective, franchisees benefit from lower overhead, reduced labor costs, and quicker profitability. Our tools, training, and operational support offer the stability of a mature system with the flexibility of an emerging brand.

• Guided by Mission: Our mission is to give every dog in America access to a place where they can experience the simple joy of just being a dog. We support each franchisee's personal and professional journey, providing individualized coaching and hands-on guidance. This mission-led approach builds stronger operators and creates an unmatched customer experience rooted in trust and community impact.

• Full Transparency: At Hounds Town, transparency is foundational. We share full Profit & Loss data across every stage of growth and include all locations in our reports - no cherry-picking. This helps franchisees make smarter decisions and builds lasting trust, both internally and with customers.

• Community-Driven by Design: Hounds Town locations form deep ties with their local communities through rescue partnerships, adoption events, and support programs. These efforts not only do good - they create long-term loyalty and brand recognition, helping each franchise become a true community hub.

Independent

At its core, AAPR is a relationship-driven business built around recurring, behavior-based revenue. This isn?t a one-time transaction model. Daycare creates weekly routines, boarding drives higher-ticket stays, and grooming plus add-ons expand customer spend, resulting in strong frequency, high lifetime value, and predictable revenue streams. What really separates AAPR is the emotional stickiness of the model. Pet parents aren?t just buying a service, they?re trusting someone with a family member. That trust is built visit by visit, and once established, it creates long-term loyalty, repeat usage, and referral-driven growth. From an investment standpoint, this is a premium, brick-and-mortar asset play. Facilities are typically 7,500 to 12,000 square feet in high-income suburban trade areas, designed for efficiency, capacity, and scalability. At maturity, locations have averaged around $1.7M in annual revenue, with performance driven by utilization, ticket size, and visit frequency. Operationally, it?s a structured, team-based model with manager-run potential. Owners don?t need pet industry experience, we provide comprehensive support across site selection, buildout, training, hiring, marketing, and ongoing performance coaching. This fits well with candidates who are semi-absentee or executive owners, value systems and process, and are looking for a scalable platform they can grow into multiple units over time. Bottom line, this is a premium brand in a high-demand category, with recurring revenue, strong unit economics, and a business model built on relationships that keep customers coming back week after week. Corporate Values: Respect • Practice the "Golden Rule"; • First, listen to understand • Provide a safe environment • Treat all pets as if they are our own • Have honest communication always • Promote education and responsible pet ownership Integrity • Only make agreements we intend to keep • Look to the System to correct problems/issues • Always look for the best but be prepared for the worst Customer Focus • Deliver the Brand Promise • Strive to maximize both internal & external customer loyalty • Respond correctly, in a timely manner considering customer service first and foremost Revenue Streams: • Pet Boarding • Pet Grooming • Pet Daycare • Up/Cross Sell, treat, extra 1:1 play time etc Brand Highlights • High-Margin Dog Boarding/Daycare • 24-hour, 365 Day On-site Staff • Pet Health & Wellness Focus • 24-Hour Webcams • "Best of the Best" Rankings • Scalable business model • Odorless, high-end HVAC • Online Reservations • Ongoing R&D

Always Faithful Dog Training

Independent

Always Faithful is a dog training franchise that was founded by a former Marine. During his service, Abraham became a certified K-9 handler, taught marksmanship at the rifle range and operated a Repairable Issue Point. Abraham is also a service-connected disabled veteran. After he was honorably discharged in 2003, Abraham started his own dog training company and has since trained over six thousand dogs. Abraham is one of the most experienced dog trainers in the country. A UNIQUE differentiator about our model is that we do not use any treats, shock collars, or clickers to train dogs. We use proven leadership techniques. We offer franchise opportunities that can not only be profitable, but incredibly fun and rewarding as well! In addition to basic obedience, we offer: • Puppy training : Basic and Advanced • Obedience Training : Basic, Advanced and High Distraction • Behavior Modification • Therapy • Service • Tracking All training sessions are either done at the client's home or through board and train (which is another optional revenue stream). We are also one of the fastest growing dog training franchises in the United States for the following reasons: • Over 85% growth for 5 years in a row • Veteran friendly franchise • Low investment • The most experienced dog training franchise team ever assembled
