Dog owners can experience the close relationship and exceptional training of combat dogs with this New York Times bestselling dog training book from a former Navy SEAL.
 
In Team Dog, Ritland taps into fifteen years’ worth of experience and shares, explaining in accessible and direct language, the science behind the importance of gaining a dog’s trust and then offering invaluable steps for how to achieve any level of obedience. His unique approach uses entertaining examples and anecdotes 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 to solidify their dog’s position as the family’s ultimate best friend.
 
Team Dog introduces pet owners everywhere to the new and distinctive authority on how to train your dog...the Navy SEAL way.
