Narrative:

I was departing the (FBO) for runway 31. I requested progressive taxi since the airport has numerous runways and intxns. Ground advised to make taxi as instructed and I proceeded to runway 31. Along the way, I noticed 2 dogs along the taxiway and reported to ground the dogs and ground acknowledged. The next thing I hear is ground telling me I crossed the hold short line. I was still on the taxiway, but apparently had crossed the hold short line. I asked what to do and was informed if able, do a 180 degree and hold behind the line. I did as instructed. Contacted tower and departed. At some point, ground stopped providing a progressive taxi and I crossed the hold short line which is clearly marked, but in a confusing location. I would recommend for ground to better explain the location of the line, especially when a pilot has requested a progressive taxi.
