A native of Ft.Worth TX, Steve Hooker moved to
San Francisco in the late '70s to attend the conservatory of music.
Moving back home, and sweating again didn't seem like a good idea, so
he stayed. After a long career as a field technician, working on
printers and
copiers he decided that If he was ever going to pursue his lifelong
dream, and work with dogs, he'd better get around to it soon, and so he
formed Hooker's Hounds(where Happy is our middle name).
In addition to his years of obsessive pet ownership, he has been a
volunteer (doing medical volunteering, dog walking and socialization of
cats and dogs) at SFSPCA, SFACC, and Pets Unlimited, he's a
graduate
of the dogTEC Dog Walking Academy, and he has trained with and worked for established walkers as a fill-in pack leader when they are not available to work. He and his dog Sophie have been
regulars at Ft. Funston for years. Steve knows dogs, and he knows
quality service.
