You hear the words Navy Seal and you know they mean business – from the roles they play, to the unbreakable bonds they form with each other, to the commitments they make, to their intense training. That training, though, goes beyond working with each other. Navy Seals also extend it to their canine partners, or military working dogs. If you’ve ever seen them in action, there’s no mistaking their care for others, their respect for their masters and a determination to get things done right.
Former Navy Seal Mike Ritland is a driving force behind the training that so many military dogs go through. In addition to working closely with the dogs, Mike created the Warrior Dog Foundation and he wrote the book Team Dog: How To Train Your Dog the Navy Seal Way. It was a pleasure having Mike on DelmarvaLife to discuss different training techniques.
