Former Navy SEAL Mike Ritland's New York Times bestseller book teaches all dog owners how to build a strong relationship with their dogs and how to train them to be great combat dogs.
In Team Dog, Ritland draws on fifteen years of expertise to explain the science behind the significance of acquiring a dog's trust and then provides important strategies for achieving any degree of obedience.
His unique approach combines entertaining examples and anecdotes from his work with dogs on and off the battlefield with direct advice from the Navy SEAL guidebook to teach dog owners how to: select the ideal dog for their family, establish themselves as the "team leader," master "command and control," employ "situational awareness," and cement their dog's position as the family's ultimate best friend.
Team Dog connects pet lovers throughout the world to a fresh and unique authority on how to teach your dog the Navy SEAL method.
The bottom line is that if your dog isn’t doing what he is supposed to or what you want him to, it’s not the dog’s fault. It’s YOUR fault, for not properly communicating to him what you need him to do, not spending the time needed to train him properly, or not being observant enough to recognize early on when and how your relationship may be out of balance.
