Why do customers choose JDog?JDog Brands has already established a strong reputation by always operating with respect, integrity and trust. Customers know that when they hire JDog, the only work they’ll have to do is point to what they need done.&nbsp;JDog owners and employees do great work, treating each job and customer with care and intention, and customers know this. Thanks to the existing reputation, new franchise owners are able to enter their markets and maintain a great reputation rather than starting from scratch.Do I need to have prior experience with junk removal or carpet cleaning?Absolutely not. JDog Brands has established a robust training and support program to ensure franchisees have the resources they need to succeed. Just recently, the brand unveiled a new training location that includes multiple surfaces for hands-on carpet cleaning and floor care practice, desks for classroom-style instruction and new technology that allows franchisees and employees to join refresher courses remotely. JDog embraces a sequence of training, assessment and approval to complete the job that is familiar to many service members.&nbsp;“James, who is our VP of Training and Development, has really set up a lot of the classes and the structure of the week similar to what you might find in a military school,” explained&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-kopa-1aaa3044?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=jdog-brands-faqs-what-you-need-to-know-2719517" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Kevin Kopa</a>, president of JDog Brands. “Being in the military, you have your basic training or recruit training or whatever it might be called for your respective branch, then you go to a number of specialty schools throughout your career.”How much does it cost?The initial investment required to begin operating a JDog Carpet Cleaning &amp; Floor Care business ranges from $37,909 to $169,947, and the initial investment to begin operating a JDog Junk Removal &amp; Hauling business is between $30,000 and $110,000.What kind of support is available through JDog?Support from the corporate JDog team comes from many directions.

The JDog team is ready to support franchise owners’ success, but they do not micromanage franchisees. Ultimately, you are in full control of when you work and who you hire.&nbsp;For more information on franchising with JDog, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jdogbrands.com/own-a-franchise?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=jdog-brands-faqs-what-you-need-to-know-2719517" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.jdogbrands.com/own-a-franchise</a>.
