About us
The National Dog Training Association (NDTA) was founded in June 2024 by Dog Training Elite franchise owners seeking stronger collaboration and growth across the network. Recognizing the power of unity, these owners established the NDTA through affiliation with the American Association of Franchisees and Dealers (AAFD), creating a platform built on transparency, collaboration, and mutual respect.
The NDTA champions the collective interests of franchise owners by sharing best practices, leveraging resources, and partnering with the franchisor to maximize business potential. Guided by a strong code of ethics emphasizing integrity, transparency, and professional conduct, the NDTA aims to build supplemental business support systems, foster independent collaboration, and advocate for the franchise owner’s interests, ultimately striving to become the premier dog training franchise system in the U.S.
