Mike Suttle has been training and raising working dogs for
over 20 years. He began with the first working sled dog kennel in West Virginia
where he trained Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes. At thirteen he titled
his first dog in obedience. He grew up on a cattle, he learned how to train
herding dogs for life stock. In high school he worked as a veterinary
assistant. He spent eight years in the U.S.M.C (United States marine core) where
he was first introduced to the military working dog program. For the last 10 years he
has dedicated his efforts solely on working military and police dogs. He has
attended over 50 military and police dog seminars and has spent thousands of
hours training with the best police dog trainers throughout the world. Mike has earned titles in Schutzhund, SDA, and AKC, and
has trained many police service dogs. Mike has
also worked as the co-owner of www.signaturek-nine.com
for 5 years where he has developed many new pieces of training
equipment, and spent hundreds of hours working in the field with military
working dog handlers and police K-9 handlers to discuss training and equipment
issues.
This guy is really interesting, I heard about him from my
grandmother and my dad told me to do this post. Mike said he is still going to
train dogs to help people. I think that it is so cool that he lives in West
Virginia. Infact how my grandmother heard of him there was a post in the paper
which is the inner mountain.
Love this story.-Grandma Linda
