You may have been hearing a lot of buzz about Hike Doggie’s franchise opportunities, and we’re all ears when it comes to your questions. There are many myths circling pet franchise opportunities for dog lovers. Our entrepreneurial candidates are an inquisitive bunch (we love that about you!), but we’ve noticed some common misconceptions popping up. Spoiler alert: they’re total myths. Let’s clear the air and set the record straight about what franchising is really all about.
Reality check: Franchising isn’t all burgers and fries.
Sure, McDonald’s might be the poster child for franchising, but the world of franchising is very diverse and has so many options. Did you know there are over 4,000 franchise concepts out there? From fitness to boutique services to niche markets you’ve never even heard of (yet), franchises span every industry under the sun.
Take Hike Doggie, for example. A one-of-a-kind franchise built for dog lovers who dream of leading happy packs on stunning mountain hikes. Picture this: you, a bus full of wagging tails, and breathtaking trails. Fast food? Not even close.
Fact: Nope! Experience not required.
One of the coolest things about franchising? You don’t need a master’s degree or decades of industry experience to succeed. Most franchises, including Hike Doggie, are designed for motivated go-getters with a love for learning. The secret sauce is in the training and support you’ll get from day one.
With Hike Doggie, we’ve got your back every step of the way. From our comprehensive training to ongoing support, we’re here to make sure you’re set up for success. Marketing support and a dedicated franchise business consultant is there to ensure success for everyone. All you need is a passion for dogs, a can-do attitude, and a willingness to hit the trail running.
Truth: Franchisees have a lot of say in their business.
We get it—you’re an independent spirit, and the thought of being boxed in doesn’t sit well. But here’s the deal: franchising is all about partnership. Yes, there’s a proven business model (that’s kind of the point), but that doesn’t mean you’re just along for the ride. Most franchisors, Hike Doggie included, actively seek input from franchisees. Your feedback? Invaluable.
At Hike Doggie, we’re all about collaboration. We want to hear your ideas, insights, and feedback—because when one of us thrives, we all do. You’re not just running a franchise; you’re part of the pack.
Franchising is more than just a business model; it’s a gateway to entrepreneurial freedom. But don’t just take our word for it—do your homework, ask questions, and get the full picture. Got a myth you’d like us to tackle? Drop us a line. We’re here to help you make an informed decision about your next big adventure.

All Hike Doggies must meet the following requirements to ensure all our doggies remain safe and have an awesome hike:
If your doggie does not meet these requirements, we recommend neutering/spaying (if you are not planning on breeding your cutie) & do targeted training in any area where he/she may need some help so they can enjoy an enriched lifestyle full of outdoor fun with friends!
