As a trainer I was completely disgusted by this book. I purchased it because I greatly enjoyed his other book Trident K9 Warriors. As a trainer for 13 years and a dog owner I found his book to contain very little useful information especially for the novice dog owner. He repeatedly makes references to things you can look up on the Internet but never provides any of his recommended sources. He places a lot of blame on owners of dogs and even puts them down quite a few times. I know as a trainer that if I'm working with a client and the first thing I do is attack them the first thing they will do is stop listening to me. People do make mistakes with dogs and often need guidance but they do not do these things intentionally and are seeking help because they know they have a problem. Also, this book is a contradiction of positive methods mixed with aversive methods that are discussed in detail in the last chapter. Early on he claims that you should develop trust with your dog and by the end he is advising e collars and aggressively challenging your dog. I know as a trainer we are all constantly learning and growing and all I can hope is that he furthers his research and continues to learn and grow in this ever changing field.

If you want to learn how to get your dog to do what you want, this book will help. If you want to learn how to get people to do what you want, this book may help with that, too.
I initially picked Team Dog for novel research – my work-in-progress features a German shepherd with a fairly significant role in the story. My goal was to learn more about how dogs communicate with and respond to people. This book delivered that. It also delivered something deeper – insight on how people communicate and respond to dogs and to other people.
As a former Navy Seal, the author provided valuable insight on how to use your voice and body to communicate confidence, power and authority. This encourages dogs to trust you and follow your lead. It can have the same effect on people. In fact, many of Ritland’s strategies and ideas apply not only to your relationship with your dog, but to all your relationships. A case-in-point: doing for vs. doing with. You provide the needs – food, shelter, safety. Yet, the author explains, “for many dogs it isn’t so much about what you do for your dog, but what you do with him.” The dog’s needs “to not be alone and to be out in the world seeking and playing” also must be met. When it comes to dogs (or children, or spouses, or fill-in-the-blank), I agree with Ritland that “doing with often matters more than doing for.”

The most honest, practical & straightforward book on creating the best life for you & your dog. Mike Ritland explains why most people struggle with their dog & addresses the root causes in a clear, no BS manner. You're likely to relate to one or many topics Ritland adress, (I sure did). This book will challenge your beliefs & encourage you to re examine your current & past relationship with your dog. If you only felt "offended" by this book, then its probably exactly what you needed to hear.
For most of my life, I thought I knew everything there was to know about raising & owning a dog simply because I grew up with gsd's. But when my last gsd displayed behaviors I'd never seen before, reality hit me like a ton of bricks saying - "you dont know shit!" Taking a step back, I realized the information I believed was "right" & undoubtedly correct, was actually the opinions passed down to me from naive parents & popular trends, But I didnt bother to question or research.

Mike Ritland spent 12 years in the Navy Seals. Although he's a super macho type of guy, he doesn't manhandle or force the dog to do anything in his dog training method. Most dogs don't want the pressure or responsibility of leading the pack. They would rather have their master do that job. This is the cornerstone of building a positive relationship with the dog - man up and be the boss. But be the boss who is in control of himself and is aware of what he's doing. The boss should reward wanted behavior and not reward unwanted behavior. Ritland is a big advocate of clicker training.

This is a great book for first time dog owners. It would be helpful to read it before obtaining your dog. Ritland offers direction on how to choose the right dog for you, which increases your chance of success and happiness throughout the dog's life. His approach is very different from other dog ownership books in that he points out the importance of being the dog's boss and keeping emotion out of the discipline equation. Demeanor, stance and vocal balance have a lot to do with how your dog responds to you. This is a great choice for people thinking about dog ownership.

Very helpful book! This focused less on the ABC bullet points of what to do and what not to do and focused more on how to lead and solve problems as they come up. It teaches the mindset of owning and training well behaved dogs rather than just spitting out information to memorize. This helped me feel very confident about owning a dog in the future.

If you are thinking about getting a dog or have a dog and want to start training it, this book gives you enough knowledge to get started with confidence and is a really good read.

More of a theoretical/theory of how to train instead of do this step and then this and your dog will be fully trained. Definitely will be using some of the techniques.

Informational if not a bit repetitive :)

I was hesitant at first to even read the book because of the few negative reviews around this being too heavy-handed an approach for normal house pets, but I'm very glad I gave it a try anyway. All of the reviews that immediately dismiss the book because of the literal one passage where Mike suggests, as a very very last resort and only in the most extreme cases, that a shock collar may be the next step completely miss all of the great and positive lessons from the book. You'd do yourself a big favor to ignore those reviews and give it a shot yourself, I promise you'll be very pleasantly surprised.

I wasn't really surprised like some of the other reviewer to find that this book's author take a very authoritarian approach to dog train. He is a Navy SEAL after all. As a psychologist I didn't find it anymore helpful than a basic outline of Skinnerian operant conditioning would have been. In fact one of the images was almost identical to one of the charts I use in my general psychology lectures. The one thing that struck me was the BARF feeding method. I guess even dogs are going paleo now. I will not be doing that.

Its not a bad book. But neither is it an exceptional one. For a complete novice, there is some good, common sense stuff in there. But I felt it was mostly fluff, trying to sound meatier than it really was.
Certainly, there was nothing new in here for me.
And as for ‘the navy seal way’, well, that’s not new or exclusive to navy seal training either.

A good book for anyone wanting to better understand dogs and how to approach their relationships with them. Military working dog trainers always impress me with their willingness to draw from both old school and modern methods.

Great book to help understand and train your dog. This book does not teach you to train a specialized military dog, it teaches how to train a pet dog.

Clear and informative style, I thought there was a lot of good content. His perspective that you need to communicate a clear sense of command and control is interesting and unique.

In short: The word pleonasm comes to mind. Pleonasm means "redundancy" or "use of more words than necessary to convey an idea."
The longer version: This author uses a lot of words/pages to say very little. It's not that what he's saying has no value, it's that he's using an excessive amount of words to get to the point. At the same time, he leaves out (or leaves for later) details that make what he's saying actually work/make sense. I've read a lot of training books, and one of the many flaws that crops up again and again is authors who tend to be long-winded over a point that really doesn't need five pages to communicate, while at the same time their tendency to ramble results in their overlooking or leaving out key details that make the training actually work. To belabor the point: they speak much, but they say nothing.
At 100 pages in (halfway mark), I felt like I'd only just finished the introduction. The author assumes a complete absence of any useful knowledge on the part of the reader (Almost as if he feels he is being generous by assuming we know a dog is a living thing that usually comes with fur, four feet and some amount of a tail), but leaves out a lot of information an absolute beginner would actually need, making the book tedious for the knowledgeable and confusing for the novice. There are simply too many words to effectively take in what he's trying to get across. It's a flood of words, all happening at you to explain an extremely small point. You may have noticed by now that this is what I am doing. But I am not a writer of dog training manuals. My tendency to belabor a single point while forgetting to even mention another is one reason for that. In a good and proper world, no one would ever attempt to learn anything from me.
The next point is how heavily the method relies on tools. I began to feel like I was reading an advertisement for clickers, ball throwing devices, treat pouches and training objects. Tools aren't inherently a bad thing, but you don't need to run an ad campaign for them. I feel like the ordering was also wrong. A sound training method *can* work without purchased tools (including leash and collar, though that is much, much harder), tools merely make the job easier/quicker if they're used correctly. Method should be foremost, tools secondary. But, as with so many training books, the method itself took a backseat to the tools.
And then we have a stop off where the author talks to us about feeding and general healthcare. While I'll grant you this is important information for any dog owner, this book is just over two hundred pages and we stop off for 30 to discuss the virtues of Raw Dog Food. Had the author not already spent so many words to say so little, I would not begrudge a chapter on healthcare. Because he did, I felt annoyed by it, and by then I was sick of having products sold to me.
Finally, I vastly prefer this author's stories to his educational material. I noted this in another book of his, Navy SEAL Dogs. I wished he would just tell his stories and leave out the training tips. And this book was meant to BE a training book and not a storybook. This is the opposite of most dog training book authors, whom I usually wish would stop telling me stories because they're bad at it. With this author, I really just want to read about his experiences, and forget the other part. Unfortunately, Navy SEAL Dogs gets distracted with talking training instead of storytelling, and Team Dog gets distracted with storytelling rather than talking training, and neither of them wind up being the book I wanted when I purchased them.

You may never want your dog to be able to apprehend bad guys, sniff out drugs or identify roadside IEDs, but the methods Mike Ritland discusses and uses will help your dog do all the things you want (not bark every time the doorbell rings, jump on friends to say "hello", treat oncoming dogs badly, etc). Best of all, his training method involves positive reinforcement and no negative or harmful methods. Mike is a dog lover as well as a professional, unique dog trainer.
Mike begins long before training, with considering how to evaluate the potential of a puppy or adult dog you're meeting for the first time. He details what to look for and the steps to take in your evaluation. He then goes through how to evaluate dogs in the presence of other dogs and dogs interacting with humans. Only after these discussions does he get down to how to train your dog. It's an eye opening introduction to the canine mind and culture -- a necessary step if you are truly to understand your dog and be part of his/her life and team.
Mike is also very collaborative in mentioning the authors and books that came to shape his thoughts and helped him develop his system. If you want more details about any of the key steps, Mike has given you the path to follow.
Finally, Mike gives you insight into the lives of these warrior canines, before, during and after their service. He established the Warrior Dog Foundation to help these veterans live out their lives in the best possible way, either with their trainers/handlers or, if that's not possible, with a caring empathic foster person. That's the least we can do for dogs who give so completely and unquestioningly to their human companions and thus to all of us.
This book, along with his personal story ("Trident K9 Warriors: My Tale from the Training Ground to the Battlefield with Elite Navy SEAL Canines" and "Navy Seal Dogs: My Tale of Training Canine Warriors") really give a sense of what these special dogs (and their human trainers are capable.

Nice Book if you want to train your dog yourself. i have tried to summarize the key points of the book in short below:
My dog, Max, is a rescue who had a rough start in life. He was very fearful of new situations, and it took some time for him to adjust to his new home. But I've trained him so well that now he's the obedient best friend you could ask for! To get started with your own dog training adventure, follow these tips:
* Start out with small commands.
* Keep training sessions short and fun.
* Teach your dog to obey one command before moving on to another.
* Get help from a professional if needed.
* Train your dog every day, but not for long periods of time.
* Be consistent in your training routine.
* Reward good behavior with lots of praise and sometimes treats.
Good training takes patience and consistency, but it will be worth the effort. Dogs are not born knowing how to do everything, they have to be taught. Dogs are not little people and should not be treated like humans. They have different personalities and needs than we do, so you need to think about what is best for your dog and how you can help him learn new things in a way that works for him. You can also read short dog training articles on petcarerx website which can give you an overview of how it can be done at home.

I thought this book was excellent apart from a few of the restraint methods I disliked. (In fairness, described and qualified as last resorts.) Also, and this is not a criticism, I was already familiar - as a long term owner and trainer of Labradors and two German Shepherds - with most of the suggestions and delighted to see them described. I bought the book after reading a book about the Navy Seals. And here I was amazed and lost in awe of the SEAL training and, especially David Goggins. I trained in the Royal Artillery but the SEAL training is of a different and amazing order. I especially liked the descriptions of the overwhelming importance of the mind. Sorry, back to the dogs.
If you are serious about training your dog as a dog, and prepared to accept that a dog is not a creature to be treated as a person the SEAL books are where to go. Follow the advice and you will have a happier dog and a delighted you.
May I end with a favourite quote of mine about men and dogs from Madame de Stael at the time of the French Revolution, "The more I see of men, the more I like dogs."

So this book isn't a how to for advanced obedience but it is a good book for developing foundational skills that should allow you to work on any variety of skills, behaviours or manners and focus on building a good relationship with your dog.
However it definitely had some cons along with its pros. Let take a long at the good stuff first:
● Some good comparable stories from his personal experience
● Great information on bond building
● Excellent info on choosing a dog
● Some good stuff on wellness care
● And great info on excercise and fun
Now the Cons:
● Too wordy (the first 2 chapters especially)
● Too focused on tools. Trying to sell the prong and clicker.
● Poor unscientific information on diet
● At times the topics felt disjointed or unorganized
While I appreciated his outlook on dog selection and building a bond with a dog I wont likely ever re-read this book. The push for certain tools and the vastly incorrect information on diet was a hard turn off...I nearly put it down a couple times. I'd recommend select chapters to people but I wouldnt recommend the book as a whole.

When buying a book called "How to train your dog - the navy seal way", I expected to actually read about how navy seals train their dogs for military operations. I bought this book to work on my belgian groenendael, who needed discipline and commands to feel safe, and as a dog trainer, I have trained him well in obedience, but wanted something more to really work on our bond and get him to listen to me even in situations where his emotions got the best of him. I didn't find that in this book at all. The book is your standard dog training book, filled with anecdotes, and is not at all focused on high stress/high energy dogs that are extremely demanding, it's focused on your average choice of dog from a shelter, basic training and care. Which is fine. It's just not at all what I expected or wanted, and in my opinion, the book title shouldn't have mentioned navy SEALS at all. The stars it gets is because it's a good book for basic training, bonding and chosing the right dog for you. Perfect for a newbie. Not for a seasoned trainer who wants to take it one step further.

Approached this book by his title. I will admit I couldn't finished it. It is just so impractical. a lot of none sense on dog training and behavior I have got some tips which I can use but overall philosophy I just couldn't. I would defentaily not recommend it to anyone who is on path to become a professional dog trainer. I will share with him some of the information i got from this book but this information can be found almost anywhere. The basic and fundamentals are good. I want to train my dog and I found this blog post on crate training https://myfirstpomeranian.com/pomeran... but I was looking for more. then that.
July 15, 2024
More like a 3.5 mostly because I didn't learn anything new in terms of dog training. I like the writing style and the emphasis on trust and respect when building a relationship. I do see in my own work with people and dogs that there is too much focus on love and affection, which are necessary and great but not all that makes a solid foundation of a harmonious human/canine relationship. I also appreciate that the author reminds the human to look at things from the perspective of the dog. Even after 25 years of working with dogs, I still forget this from time to time. Just ask my German shepherd.

I liked this book but didn't get a whole lot out of it. I use a number of his techniques already with great success and will try some other concepts he outlines. I was hoping for new information but just didn't get it. As a lifelong dog owner I feel like some of his writing was more for the new pet owner. At the same time, I am a little disappointed with his examples all relating to MWD but that is his specialty. I expected a little more rounded group of examples.
Overall, good content and well written. Just not what I was anticipating. I'm a little higher level in my training journey.

Every dog owner should read this book.
This book really does a good job laying out the foundation for having a rewarding relationship with your dog. There are a lot of really good ideas to come back to. 1. Control yourself. Check your emotions, don’t shout or lash out at your dog. 2. Use your body language more than verbal commands. 3. Employ a clicker for training 4. Be aware of your dog, his physical and emotional state, regularly assessing things like body structure, dental hygiene, diet & exercise.

I read this because we are picking up a new puppy tomorrow. While our new pup will be far far from a military working dog, this book (and Mike Ritland’s website - teamdog.pet) have a bunch of good foundational information for establishing a relationship with the new dog and for training for good behavior. All positive reinforcement and calm demeanor and an emphasis on structure and consistency but reminding the reader not to anthropomorphize the dog (which I am extremely prone to do). 4 stars due to lack of some of the practical info we were looking for.
September 7, 2021
This book is not a practical how-to, rather it presents a perspective on how you should be your dog’s leader. All fine and good but you can do that in 10-20 pages. No need for an entire book. Still, I enjoyed it enough to read it through to the end, despite the heavy handedness. The Monks of New Skete present the same point of view with a more even tone and with more practical info. Unless you want to read about a navy seal relentlessly commanding you to command your dog, I’d go elsewhere for more practical advice.
December 28, 2018
This book is simple and no-nonsense, and I appreciated Mike Ritland’s approach to dog training. Like his recommended approach to training, the book is somewhat repetitive, as it drives home the central theme - reward good behavior and establish yourself as the leader of the team. I found some insight in his description of a dog’s perspective especially as it relates to their senses, and how those differ from our own. The book would be improved with additional anecdotes and tighter editing.

How many times do you have to repeat the same thing. I was fine with the book even his clicker until he discussed over controlling another life forms ability to use the toilet or food all the while caged
Lack of respect for other life forms is a huge problem. Nothing beats respectful love and care for relationship building with all forms
Even the slugs can be trained with timed food and we don’t have to hear 20+ times how they enjoy attacking and biting humans.
