About Jopuko

Providing reliable dog walking and training services across London since our establishment, helping dogs stay active and well-behaved.

Our Beginning

Jopuko started when a group of dog handlers in London noticed that many working pet owners struggled to give their dogs adequate daily exercise. We saw dogs spending long hours alone, missing the walks they needed for physical health and mental stimulation.

What began as a small operation covering several neighbourhoods has grown into a structured service. We now employ 12 trained dog walkers who cover areas from Southwark to Camden, maintaining consistent schedules that dogs and owners can rely on.

Consistency

We maintain fixed walking schedules, arriving within a 15-minute window. Dogs thrive on routine, and we respect that by showing up when expected, regardless of weather conditions.

Safety Standards

Each walker carries liability insurance up to £2 million, uses secure leads rated for specific dog weights, and follows designated routes approved for dog walking in London boroughs.

Transparent Communication

Owners receive a brief report after each walk, including distance covered, behaviour notes, and any observations. No surprises, just straightforward information about your dog's day.

Experience & Training Approach

Our team includes handlers certified through the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) and members of the Pet Professional Guild. We focus on positive reinforcement methods rather than punishment-based techniques.

For training sessions, we work on specific behaviours: loose-lead walking, recall in distracting environments, and managing reactivity around other dogs. Sessions typically run 45 minutes and take place in controlled environments before progressing to busier areas.

We handle various breeds and temperaments, from energetic terriers needing vigorous exercise to older dogs requiring gentler, shorter walks. Group walks are organized by size and energy level to ensure compatibility.

Why Choose Our Services

We provide reliable care and training for your dog with a focus on safety, consistency, and results that you can see.

Consistent Schedule

We maintain the same walking times each day, which helps your dog develop a routine. This consistency reduces anxiety and supports better behaviour patterns. Our walkers arrive within a 15-minute window of the scheduled time.

Insured and Certified

All our staff hold public liability insurance up to £5 million and have completed accredited training courses. We carry first aid kits and know how to respond to emergencies. Your pet's safety is documented and protected.

GPS Tracking Reports

After each walk, you receive a report showing the route taken, distance covered, and time spent. This includes photos and notes about your dog's behaviour. You can review these reports through our mobile app or email.

Small Group Sizes

We walk a maximum of four dogs at once, ensuring each animal receives adequate attention. Dogs are grouped by size, energy level, and temperament. This approach reduces stress and allows for better control during the walk.

Qualified Trainers

Our training team includes specialists certified by the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers. We use positive reinforcement methods based on current animal behaviour research. Each trainer completes at least 120 hours of practical training before working independently.

Progress Tracking

Training sessions include written assessments of your dog's progress. We document which commands have been mastered and which need more work. You receive updates every two weeks with specific examples and recommendations for home practice.

Secure Key Management

We use a coded key storage system with individual tracking for each client. Keys are never labeled with addresses and are stored in a locked safe. Access logs record every key removal and return, providing a complete audit trail.

Direct Communication

You can contact your assigned walker or trainer directly through our messaging system. Response time averages under 2 hours during business days. For urgent matters, our office line is monitored from 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays.

Weather Adaptability

We adjust walk duration and route based on temperature and conditions. In extreme weather, we offer shorter walks with indoor play alternatives. Your dog's comfort and health take priority over maintaining a fixed schedule.

Flexible Payment Plans

Choose between pay-as-you-go or monthly packages with discounts up to 15% for regular bookings. We accept bank transfers, card payments, and direct debit. No cancellation fees apply if you provide 24 hours notice.
