About Us

Man’s Best Friend

Dogs truly are man’s best friend and they are a part of our family. The issue that comes into play is that dogs are not humans, they are dogs. Dogs like structure and a sense of purpose. They look for a calm and secure pack leader and that is where you come in as a dog owner. Our dogs require more than food, water, and shelter to keep balance in the home. 

Our dogs feel our energy and feed off our excitement along with all other emotions. As pet owners, we need to channel this energy and allow our pets to enjoy a balanced lifestyle which consists of obedience, play, and love, in that order. 

MEET THE OWNER

Brett Suttle was born in Pennsylvania and raised in Ohio, where he currently resides.  Post high school, Brett served in the United States Navy, then worked his way through college, earning his Bachelors of Science in business.  In 1998, while working as a rescue diver, Brett became so fascinated with search dogs that he joined the Ohio K9 Search Team where he served in several officer positions and as a certified dog handler until 2005.  During this time, Brett and his K9s became certified in many search disciplines, including cadaver, water, building search, and human remains, along with live land searches. Brett supported multiple state and federal agencies in the search for lost or missing persons in and around the nation.

Over the years, Brett has continually expanded his canine knowledge and education to include service dog training and ultimately his Master Dog Trainer’s certification.  His love and dedication to these animals have culminated in Brett founding The Rude Dog K9 Training Company.

The Rude Dog K9 Training Company was designed as a one-stop shop for both you and your puppy.

He offers a wide range of dog training services, including puppy training, basic obedience, advanced and off-leash obedience, scent theory and service training.  Brett is a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) and a certified evaluator for the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Award program.

From his love of canines came a need for healthy food alternatives and as a result, in 2008, Brett created his own line of dog food named after his black Labrador and longtime search partner, Louie.  Louie’s Bark’n Grill was established to supply dog owners with healthier options to feed their 4-legged friends. Through over 60 hours of study, Brett has also earned and received certifications in Canine Nutrition and Raw Dog Food specialist.
