The Dog Walker was established in 2007 to provide owners peace of mind through professional, dependable, and flexible services while they were away. The team currently consists of Nobu, Heidi V, and Sara H.

Nobu has been training dogs since 1992. His list of accomplishments includes: certified graduate of Trish King’s Canine Behavior Academy, PETCO Certified Canine Education Instructor, Dog Trainer for the City of Danville and City of Dublin, and volunteer at the Tracy Animal Shelter.

Dogs have been part of Nobu’s life from the day he was born. He began training dogs in Southern California where he was born and raised. His family relocated to the San Joaquin Valley in 2000 where he continues to train and walk dogs. He has personally parented the following breeds; Akita, German Shepards, Huskys, Shih-Tzus, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, and Malteses. He’s passionate about dogs and continually seeks out new techniques and information about dogs.

The Dog Walker offers dog training, and dog walking services to many local communities. He enjoys working with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and of course their owners too. 🙂  Nobu’s motivation stems from his desire to improve relationships between pet parents and dogs. This is extremely important to him because a happy and educated owner is less likely to drop off a well-behaved member of the family in the country or at the animal shelter. Nobu strives to improve the quality of life for both pet parents and dogs.

He currently resides in the San Joaquin Valley with his beautiful wife, son, and three furry kids; Sammi, Molly, and Diamond.
