SUPPORT & TRAINING

Training

Knowledge is a cornerstone of the Tail Blazers philosophy. We believe that education for franchisees is of utmost importance, not only so that they can assist pet guardians and their pets in choosing the right foods, but so they can run their business successfully on a day to day basis. Tail Blazers franchise provides 2 weeks of training for new franchisees, which includes day to day business operations, food, nutrition, treats, accessories and supplements, customer relations, marketing and inventory management. Of course, our franchise support team will always be there to assist you should you require assistance after the initial training!
