Hounds Town USA

Join the Pack at Hounds Town USA

At Hounds Town USA, we’re changing the way the world understands and interacts with dogs — because we do it for the dogs.

Our fully interactive pet care franchise offers behavior-based dog daycare, overnight boarding, pet spa services, cat boarding, and pet taxi transportation. We welcome every dog, without breed restrictions, and create safe, specialized play groups that honor each dog’s natural instincts — building trust with pet parents and driving recurring, diversified revenue for Franchise Owners.

As demand for high-quality pet care grows, Hounds Town stands apart with unmatched expertise in true dog management and a brand that truly speaks dog. Our franchise model is proven and straightforward, requiring no grooming or veterinary background — just a passion for animals and a drive to make an impact.

For Franchise Owners, Hounds Town is more than a business. It’s a Journey to Freedom: the freedom to build a legacy, live with purpose, and change lives — one dog at a time.

WHY CHOOSE HOUNDS TOWN USA

• Proprietary Dog Management: Our proprietary Houndology™ system—by founder and former NYPD K-9 Unit Commander, Mike Gould—sets us apart by organizing dogs based on natural pack behavior. It results in safer play, lower stress, fewer behavioral issues, and stronger unit economics thanks to reduced labor needs. Franchisees are trained to manage dogs with clarity, consistency, and confidence—no prior experience required. At Hounds Town, Franchisees aren’t just joining a brand, they are inheriting a legacy of canine expertise, refined into a scalable, franchise-ready system that builds trust, drives loyalty, and stands out in a crowded market.
• Infrastructure That Performs: With low overhead, affordable buildout, and efficient staffing, our model is straightforward, instinctual, and focused on what actually matters which leads to strong margins and faster breakeven. But a great model is only half the equation—infrastructure is what sustains growth. That’s why we’ve built systems, tools, and playbooks that rival brands twice our size —while maintaining the flexibility and personal touch of an emerging brand. The result? A high-performing business built on simplicity, backed by infrastructure, and designed to grow with you.
• Guided by Mission: Our mission is bold and deeply rooted: to give every dog in America access to Hounds Town, where they can experience the simple joy of just being a dog. But how we get there is just as important as where we’re going—and that’s through meaningful, one-on-one relationships with our Franchisees. That’s why we don’t rely on cookie-cutter coaching or one-size-fits-all support. We take the time to learn who each Franchisee is, understand their goals, and adapt how we guide and train them—because no two Owners are the same. This isn’t just a franchise system. It’s a high-touch partnership that grows with each Franchisee.
• Full Transparency: At Hounds Town, transparency isn’t a tagline—it’s a cornerstone of how we operate. Most brands show the best-case scenario. We break down real Profit & Loss data in our FDD by how long each location has been open—Year 1, 2–3, 3–5, and 5+—and most importantly, we include every location in the data. No exclusions. No cherry-picking. Why? Because real partnerships are built on truth.
• Community-Driven by Design: Our Franchisees don’t just operate in their towns—they become part of them, driving real impact from the ground up. While many brands write checks or host occasional charity events, Hounds Town locations form deep, ongoing partnerships with local rescues, shelters, and foster programs. From hosting adoption events to providing transitional care for dogs in need, each location becomes a trusted hub for both pets and people. These aren’t just feel-good efforts—they’re powerful relationship builders that root the business in the heart of the community and build customer loyalty in the process. It’s good for the mission, good for the dogs, and good for business.
