Grant Reeves is a serial entrepreneur and an animal lover. When he was planning on his next business adventure, Reeves decided to stay in the animal industry and focus on mobile dog training. <a href="https://theupbeatk9.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-upbeat-k9-looks-to-expansion-with-support-from-apex-franchise-development-group-2707028" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Upbeat K9</a> was created to give dog owners a better choice when it comes to dog training.

&ldquo;At The Upbeat K9, we know there isn&rsquo;t one methodology that works for every dog. Our training is based on what&rsquo;s best for a dog and its owner,&rdquo; shared Reeves. &ldquo;Through our balanced training program, we use an open-minded approach to training based on the dog and the family&#39;s needs.&rdquo;

The Upbeat K9&rsquo;s unique approach to dog training includes a plethora of training options including in-home training along with a board and train program. The company works with families to assess what type of program will work best for their schedule in order to set them up for success. Overnight training, daytime training, evening training, The Upbeat K9 finds what works best for you.

After seeing the amount of interest in this unique approach to dog training, Reeves knew franchising was the next logical step. &ldquo;What we found is that the demand was unbelievable for this type of service. So we took the last 18 months to hone the balanced training curriculum and company operations to make sure all of the processes and procedures were in place for future franchisees.&rdquo;

That&rsquo;s when Reeves called upon <a href="https://apexfdg.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-upbeat-k9-looks-to-expansion-with-support-from-apex-franchise-development-group-2707028" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apex Franchise Development Group</a> to help in building out the brand&rsquo;s franchisee structure and process. Apex was the perfect partner for The Upbeat K9 because they understand the personal approach to business. They are committed to creating a partnership built on performance in order to work together to develop the best results.

&ldquo;Our goal for the year is to open 8-10 locations in the U.S. We are also working alongside Apex to finalize our master franchise agreement for Canada so we can expand beyond franchisees in the U.S.,&rdquo; shared Reeves. &ldquo;Their industry expertise has helped us to develop a plan to share our message in order to find franchisees that are right for our community.&rdquo;

As the brand continues to grow, they&rsquo;re looking to find passionate dog parents who are looking to own their own business. With start up costs starting as low as $25,000, Reeves is excited to welcome a new kind of entrepreneur to The Upbeat K9.

&ldquo;Typical franchise owners have to leverage their livelihoods in order to get into franchising. We&rsquo;re already seeing younger, entrepreneurial-type people who are looking to own a business at a young age,&rdquo; Reeves continued. &ldquo;I would prefer to have a franchisee who is a passionate pet parent who is excited about going through our training program and spreading the mission of The Upbeat K9. We like to watch our franchisees grow.&rdquo;

Reeves, with the support of Apex, is excited to bring their balanced training program to houses in the U.S. and beyond so that every family can have an amazing relationship with their pet.

&ldquo;We know there isn&#39;t a magic pill for every dog and every owner. We want to work with owners and dogs to find the right program to fit their needs. Nothing makes us happier than enhancing a family&rsquo;s quality of life with their dog because of the tight-knit bond created during our training process.&rdquo;
