Joe Hague

Joe and his now soul dog, Luke.

Joe founded The Grateful Dog, a dog walking and training service in 1998.  In 2000 he began to attend the AIAS (American Institute of Animal Sciences) and received his training and behavioral certification in 2002.  Since that time Joe has continued his dog walking and expanded his services to include basic obedience training and behavior modification.  Joe enjoys watching people connect with their dogs through positive reinforcement training.  In addition he has  attended dogTec's on-going educational programs for dog walkers and trainers. Joe is on a federal commission representing professional dog walkers supporting the continued use of off-leash activities on GGNRA lands.

Meet Joe H.
I was born and raised on New York's Long Island, and moved to San Francisco, by way of Milwaukee and Chicago, in 1995.  I spent 20 years in retail operations management before starting my own business working with people and their dogs.  My other love is music - check out The Blue Swamis!
