JDog Junk Removal & Hauling is a veteran-founded franchise that offers residential and commercial junk removal services. The company was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. It began franchising in 2012 under JDog Franchises, LLC and has since expanded across the United States with a strong focus on serving local communities.

The franchise provides a range of services including junk hauling, light demolition, dumpster rentals, and carpet and floor cleaning. ‍

JDog is known for its eco-friendly practices, recycling or donating 60 to 80 percent of the items it removes. Customers benefit from transparent pricing based on weight and volume, which includes labor, transportation, and responsible disposal. JDog franchises are available exclusively to military veterans and their families, reinforcing its core values of respect, integrity, and trust.

Franchisees are encouraged to hire fellow veterans, contributing to reduced veteran unemployment. The brand’s strong mission-driven culture and environmental commitment set it apart from traditional junk removal companies.

Training

JDog Franchises, LLC provides a comprehensive training program for franchisees under its JDog Junk Removal & Hauling brand. The franchisor offers both initial and ongoing training initiatives structured to equip franchisees and their staff with the skills necessary for successful business operations.

1. JDog University™ Initial Training
   The franchisor offers a mandatory initial training program at JDog University™ for the franchisee and one employee. This training includes both in-class instruction and in-field training, covering business operations, use of the operations manual, and other franchise-specific protocols. Both participants must complete this training to the satisfaction of the franchisor before commencing operations.
2. Ongoing Training and Support Programs
   Post-launch, the franchisor continues support through periodic JDog University™ training sessions. These programs are provided at the franchisor’s discretion and are designed to reinforce franchise standards, introduce updates, and ensure operational consistency.

Territory Protection

JDog Junk Removal & Hauling provides territory protection to its franchisees by granting them a specific geographic area in which to operate. Each territory is defined by a radius of up to 25 miles and can include a population of up to 200,000 people.

This defined territory is established using zip code, income, and demographic data, and is exclusive to the franchisee for business operations. Franchisees are allowed to operate in adjacent zip codes only if doing so does not infringe upon another franchisee’s protected territory.

This protection ensures that no other JDog Junk Removal & Hauling franchise can be placed within the assigned area. The franchise agreement enforces compliance with this policy, and violations can lead to penalties or even termination.
