Ask me about treadmill training!
Pet care experience
As a life-long dog owner and current loving dad to two border terriers (Charley & Grimby), I love helping my clients have happy and healthy pets. My wife and I have lived in Atlanta with our adorable dogs since graduating from Vanderbilt in 2009 – I can share our favorite dog-friendly spots we love to visit. I offer several services (see below) to ensure you and your dog always have a great week. Ask me about any of them for additional details. Regular walks not only give your dog a healthy release of energy but also provide much needed mental stimulation, when approached correctly. I will be generous in both love and discipline with your dog to get the most out of walks and play time. Leash training – Have a new puppy or maybe a mature dog that likes to pull or bark at other dogs / humans? I’ll help leash train your dog to maximize every walk and make your own walks more enjoyable with your dog(s). Treadmill training - Have a treadmill in your home? Atlanta heat and rain can sometimes be too much for our dogs to get enough exercise outside every day. I offer an add-on service to train your dog to walk on any treadmill. Our dogs LOVE treadmill sessions in addition to their daily walks. Running - Higher energy breeds need to stretch their legs and run sometimes to get all their energy out and be happy and well behaved. I’m an active person and would be happy to help your dog run their hearts out. If this is your dog, ask me about adding running to your dog’s routine. I’m excited to meet you and your dogs to understand their individual needs and design a custom routine that best suits your whole family.
Reviews
Ben was absolutely FANTASTIC! He updated us with photos (some of which were hysterical) and let us know that Harry was doing well and a happy pup. He even taught Harry a couple of special tricks! Our best Rover experience ever - we highly recommend Ben.
I have two dogs that Ben has helped us with walking, grooming and boarding them. My Norfolk terrier would never let groomers strip her hair or use clippers. But after a few walks Ben earned her trust. She now lets him hand strip her back/sides and trim her belly and paws. Her coat looks and feels much better now, and I can tell she feels better too. She loves the days she gets to spend with Ben. My other dog is a whippet who loves when Ben comes to run with him or take him for walks. Ben always remembers to put Sam’s jacket on when it’s cold and plays fetch in the backyard to get extra energy out before leaving. Ben says he doesn’t even mind the extra kisses from my whippet! Ben is my go-to dog guy now!
We’ve used a few different dog walkers since rescuing my Miggy, a lab/boxer mix, from Dekalb county animal shelter. I’m so happy that we finally found Ben! He’s very dependable and professional. He gives Miggy extra exercise and lots of love while I'm at work. I recommend Ben to anybody looking for a dog walker.
Ben has been walking my dog, Max, for almost 5 years now. He is an awesome person and is extremely loving with all dogs. He even helped correct a few of Max’s behavioral issues. On top of his regular outside walks, Ben also taught my pup how to get extra walks on my existing treadmill! How cool is that? The treadmill training has been a HUGE help to keep my Max happy in situations where I couldn’t get outside to walk (e.g., recovering from surgery, 95 degree and rainy days). Ben is a top notch guy and I’d recommend his dog care services to anyone.
