Instinct Dog Behavior & Training

Dogs are family for all of us at Instinct Dog Behavior & Training®. It’s that simple principle that guides us as we help dogs and owners happily co-exist every day. Now, we’re looking for franchise partners to help us bring our vision of A Kinder World through Dog Training™ to thousands more dogs and owners in urban markets across the country.

The Opportunity

• 68% of U.S. households own a pet. 89.7 million of those pets are dogs
• Spending on pets is rising annually in the U.S
• Consumers spend more on companion animals than nearly any other category
• The pet market has more than tripled in size since 1994, growing from $17 billion to over $60 billion in 2015 in the U.S. alone
