DogJog was born from a simple idea: combining two passions—running and dogs—to create a unique service for active pups.

I’m Ben Townsend, founder of DogJog, dedicated runner, and lifelong dog lover. I’m also a dad to energetic 6-year-old twin boys, husband to my amazing wife Bridgette, and pup dad to Polly, our six-year-old Black Lab/Terrier mix. You might recognize Polly as our official business mascot!

My love for running extends beyond casual jogs—I’m an UltraRunner and have completed the San Diego 100-mile endurance race multiple times. That same dedication to movement and endurance fuels DogJog’s mission: to provide an active, engaging, and safe jogging experience for every dog, tailored to their individual pace and energy level.

We know that every pup is different, which is why our sessions are built around their unique needs. Whether they’re bursting with energy or need a more moderate workout, we make sure they get the exercise they crave—always with plenty of water breaks and shade stops when needed.

At DogJog, it’s all about happy, healthy, and well-exercised dogs. Let’s get outside together! ☀️
