TEAM DOG

Mike Ritland Gary Brozek

How to Establish Trust and Authority and Get Your Dog Perfectly Trained the Navy SEAL Way

In TEAM DOG the New York Times-bestselling author and former Navy SEAL Mike Ritland draws on his fifteen years of experience to reveal the distinctive techniques used to train military dogs, making them available and applicable to dog owners for use in the home.
In TEAM DOG, Ritland shares in accessible and direct language the science behind gaining a dog’s trust, and he offers valuable steps to achieve any level of obedience. His unique approach uses entertaining examples from his work with dogs on and off the battlefield and direct tips from the Navy SEAL guidebook to teach dog owners how to choose the perfect dog for their household, establish themselves as the “team leader,” master “command and control,” employ “situational awareness,” and solidify their dog’s position as the family’s ultimate best friend.

Written in the same charming style that landed Ritland’s first book high on the New York Times bestseller list, TEAM DOG is the new and distinctive authority for how to select, train, maintain, and care for your most prized furry possession.

Mike Ritland joined the US Navy in 1996, and after several years started his own company to train dogs for the SEAL teams. His clients include the Department of Homeland Security, US Customs, TSA, and the Department of Defense. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Trident K9 Warriors (St. Martin’s), which is being adapted for film. He runs Trikos International, which trains protection dogs, and he is the founder of the nonprofit Warrior Dog Foundation.

Gary Brozek has coauthored and ghostwritten nearly twenty books, including four New York Times bestsellers.
