A Business You'll Feel Good
 About Owning

Dogtopia is a unique dog daycare business which opened its first location in Virginia in 2002 and in 2014 opened its first Canadian location in Coquitlam. At that time, dog daycare was very much a new concept, and the Dogtopia approach (to create “indoor dog parks” and provide a daytime service for dog care along the lines of a children’s daycare), was extremely innovative. Since then, the idea of taking man’s best friend to doggie day care has gained widespread acceptance.

Training & Support

With a Dogtopia franchise, you’ll never feel like you’re in it alone. We provide our franchise owners with unwavering support through initial and training to operations as you grow – it’s a team approach to success. Our team of dedicated professionals will guide you through our training process, which includes:

• 30-day initial training program at Dogtopia University: 2-week classroom, 2-week in-store training
• 10 days of opening support (6 days before, 4 days after opening)
• Marketing and sales training
• Real Estate and Facility Construction Support
• Ongoing field visits
• One-on-one coaching
• Website development
• Monthly webinars, seminars, calls
• Quarterly regional workshops
• Access to our network of franchisees – shared best practices
• Annual Dogtopia Conference

Additionally, Dogtopia recognized the potential for a knowledge gap between its U.S.-based head office and Canadian franchisees within the chain, and responded with a somewhat specialized organizational structure – the Regional Developer model.
