the bark! bark! support

With a bark! bark! franchise, you’re in business for yourself, but never by yourself.

bark! bark! is franchising because our unique and pup-focused care is in high demand, and we want to keep growing! We believe franchising gives us an avenue to continue that growth by awarding franchises to like-minded entrepreneurs who are as passionate about caring for the pups as we are.

We’ve designed our franchise model to do just that—award qualified potential owner/operators with franchise units to carry on the bark! bark! philosophy. We’re determined to keep the high standards of love and attention for the pups that have driven the bark! bark! brand to the heights we’ve reached since we’ve been in business.

We’re also intent on spreading that love and attention to our franchisees with our unparalleled support. From the moment a prospective franchisee signs the franchising agreement with bark! bark!, they become part of our pack, and they’ll receive all the support that comes with it.

bark! bark! pack support

Our dog daycare, overnight hotel, grooming, and training services are the core foundation of what we offer at bark! bark!.

The way we operate is a bit different than other pet hotel and resort franchises. So from the moment the franchise agreement is signed, we adopt our franchise owners as our own and carry them through extensive training all the way through and beyond their grand opening.

With bark! bark!, our comprehensive support includes:

site selection advice

All of the decor, furniture, and signage fits the bark! bark! modern, cool aesthetic to fit our relaxed, confident vibe. bark! bark! is where cool dogs go, and it begins with the initial build-out.

thorough training

We continue to provide ongoing training and support for our franchisees to keep everyone up-to-date on the latest training techniques and behavioral advances for pups and everything else related to the bark! bark! business.

best-in-show technology

Part of what sets us apart from the competition is our cool cams, where our pup pawrents can observe their furry family members at play, at rest, or at any other time. It gives them peace of mind whether they’re at work, traveling, or simply away from their pups for a short time. This technology is vital to our brand, and our franchisees must be up-to-speed on guiding customers through its usage, so we help everyone understand it and how it works.
