About us
Ben McGill
Owner/Educator
Born in Australia, Ben moved to the US when he was young and studied at WKU for Biology and Psychological Science. Ben started his career in the early 2000s when he began working at his first humane society, where he trained dogs and worked on feline behaviors to aid in their forever homes. He later trained at a wildlife sanctuary in Emerald, Australia, and worked at a zoo and several stockyards in the United States. His current methodologies for animal training were enhanced when he studied and worked in the field of ABA therapy and as an ABA therapist/RBT working with children on the spectrum and teenagers with chemical dependency.
Ben's passion for animals extends beyond domesticated pets to reptiles and amphibians. He has a deep love for these fascinating creatures and is currently studying to become a Master Herpetologist. This advanced study complements his extensive knowledge of animal behavior and training, allowing him to apply his expertise to a broader range of species.
