Mike Woodring
Owner/Trainer
Meet The Trainer
Mike loves dogs and is seldom seen without one by his side. With the creation of Hackles and Hide, Mike has been fortunate to do what he loves and pass his knowledge and enthusiasm on to dogs and their owners.
Being the owner of rescues sparked Mikes interest in animal psychology, which lead him to his education in Animal Behaviors, Animal Emotion, and Animal Cruelty Investigation. Understanding how a dog thinks and feels has helped him troubleshoot unwanted behaviors and create a stronger bond between dog and owner. This also leads to a better quality of life for the dog.
Mike trains with STSK9 to further his education on a more advanced level. He offers both group and private, customized sessions for basic and advanced obedience, tricks training, scent detection, canine good citizen training, behavior modification, handler training, and proper E-Collar training.
In addition to maintaining a rigorous schedule of self education, you'll find Mike acting as the co coordinator for Bailing Out Benji, which is a non profit dedicated to ending puppy Mills. Mike also spends countless hours training his own dogs and teaching them cool new tricks!
