Dogs/pets are the forever child....if you've raised children(hopefully well)...you can raise a pet. If you have no children or that experience and aquired a pet ......welcome...you now have a child. Always remember a pet has zero clue the definition of annoyance ......they love you and want your attention. God bless ya Mike for giving the 4 legged warriors to live life out🤙😎🤙
This needs to be a weekly thing Mike ! Even if you repeat yourself… the information you give for dog training is worth repeating! Because of your advice and ver the years . Every time i work my dog outside I get dozens of people coming up to me and asking who trained my dog . I am gradually considering doing this part time because of how much I love working with k9s. Makes it so much fun when the dogs you train are possibly smarter than you . At the very least it’s incredibly entertaining. Again, Thank you for all the advice you provide over the years !
Awesome change of pace! Love all your other stuff but I like when the dog training stuff comes through too. Really sets you apart from similar creators in the military genre
Currently have a 27inch tall 120 lb Dutch Sheppard, he is very chill and does not act. When he was nose to nose with a smaller mix that dog snapped, Norris just stepped back, his body tensed like a spring seems he was waiting for the next move, the owner said sorry Norris relaxed. He loves being petted and is not easily distracted. Love the breed.
I've been looking for a good site to learn how to train and then step it up. Glad I came across you. I like your no bullshit approach. Thank you .I appreciate it. Looking forward to learning more ..
I’ve kept multiple Staffordshire bull terriers all my life. And I would say “mouthing” is a staffy trait. Mines have always did it especially when greeting people. My only concern with it is that other people who aren’t used to dogs will think there being attacked. So like Mike said being able to switch them off when needed is a must. Should also say they are usually pretty gentle when they do so
I love all the content sir thank you for all your info I always come back and watch your videos as I deal with my dogs thank you for your service and all you do….
i've been listening to your podcast for quite some time. stumbled over it by chance and stuck around as i used to be a paramedic and learning about your fields of expertise and your guest's has been indeed very interesting. thanks for that. also, i did have a collie and am getting a dutch shepherd in late august/september. i've been prepping for this for quite some time, maybe overdoing it but whatever. anyways. this video was very much helpful and checks alot of interesting boxes. i do like your aproach to dogtraining, seems to make a lot of sense. thanks for your podcasts and especially this one. cheers from austria
A long time ago, I had a great dog. He listened, didn't tear things up, etc. He was a blue healer and went dang near everywhere with me. We always moved the cattle down to the pasture and barn close to our homes before hunting season. I didn't know what he'd do, but even though he was never trained to, he herded the cattle to us and down to where we wanted them. Grandpa was never real fond of pets, but he loved that dog!! LOL
I have one dog that has couch privileges and one that does not, one needs constant structure. Living with two Malinois mix girls has been a true lesson in training and structure ❤️🐶
I had a Black Lab-Rottweiler mix, and at around four months old the vet said he was eventually going to have hip issues, but to just watch them and have him checked every now and then. I jogged him all the time, had him in the woods and field, he swam, ran, jumped, could jump into a CA over semi truck. He made it to almost 16 years old, then his legs gave out, and I put him down. Wished I'd have gotten him wheels, but he lived a good, long, full life with no other issues.
Funny story my first Rottweiler "Sage" I trained her from a book my neighbor gave me and it worked great but when you say a command sign it with one hand sit drink walk heal ECT and it was something she never forgot and made things easier in public and amazed everyone as well . Nonetheless doing it this way always kept her looking at me for the next command at all times .. Sage was the best dog I ever had and she was great with my infant daughters
Thank you for everything you do for K9 friends. Love your podcast and admire you greatly. This podcast made me remember some of the things I had forgotten while working with my last dog some 10yrs ago. Keep up the good work. God bless up
This is a fucking MASTER CLASS!! I see so many mistakes I made and the stuff i got right (sometimes even not knowing why). Thanks Mike!! Happy New Year to you and your family.
Love this calm style you talking with man, also watched your first podcast with TCAV and you're just asking so good. You drive the interview very well 👏 thanks for the videos man !!
My Doberman and I greatly enjoyed your show! Heard you throwing a little shade towards corn. Don't forget your roots.😉 All the best in 2024 from eastern Iowa!
Thanks for the great content Mike. I have been using TeamDog to work with my 3 year old Mastiff/Pit mix. It works great when I am consistent with him with training.
Thanks Mr Ritland - Rhodesian Ridgebacks are my dogs - bright - bloodiminded - Loyal - awesome dogs as all dogs are - it was good to get some prods on a few things I have let slip - the heel to you even in a shit storm is so true - plus they love it once they accept who is the boss - My first Ridgie Ozzy RIP was hard work and I made the directions fun one day and hid my frustration and he almost told me - that's better now I'll follow your lead :-)....Thanks for all the podcasts.
Great Q &A session but with the greatest of respect negative punishment is the withholding of a reward untill the dog does a required behaviour , the example you gave is negative reinforcement.
had to switch my golden doodle due to lentil allergies, but wish I could have kept your line of food. The treats and skin/coat ones are amazing, you're amazing, I just can't get enough of your knowledge about how best to build a lasting solid relationship with my friend and family protector. Albeit more bark than bite.
Wow! I am so glad I saw this Q & A. I have a 7 yr old retired champion show dog that I got. She is great showing however, a hot mess since being retired. I have her trained well on a leash however she is territorial and protective every time I take her out. I have the same neighbors. I have tried bribing with a tiny treat as well as a handheld flashlight to use as a focus or distraction. A couple of times I have picked her up and then she will calm down right away as she is a little Scottish Terrier.
God i would give the world to have mike save my dog. Im at the end of my rope trying to fix sudden onset reactivity. I spent alot of time and dedication learning from youtube channels like larry krohn and schutzhund kevin...but you cant learn all the secrets.
Great video Mike! I have had labs for 40 years and learned that I am doing things wrong! Will get your book and video to learn more so we can train our Sadie Sue (6 month old yellow English Labrador) to be a better lady!
I can take my shepherd anywhere, I’ve have her off leash in a two story shopping mall, in elevators, on escalators, all different types of surfaces. I’m confident I can take her anywhere, however she doesn’t want other dogs in her space!
Fascinating- My ODA trained USMC Security Bn on the MP-5 in the 90’s-to balance the Dick dance they launched their Mal’s on us-terrifying😮!! Fur Rocket crushed my forearm thru the training suit😂 it took 9 months to recover! Much respect 🇺🇸🤙🏼
Have you ever worked with livestock guardian dogs? They aren’t for everyone that is for sure😊. They are my favorite though…I have a Great Pyrenees and a Turkish Okbash! I think they do better with a more calmer owner as they are EXTREMELY stubborn and independent minded. Lol, type A personalities beware..you have to have a lot of patience with them☺️. But I love them❤️!
How do I send my 1 year old Giant Schnauzer down to you for training and how much?! Been listening to your show for years Mike. I never served but am drawn to hearing soldier stories. Keep them coming
i have a 9 week old German Shepard that is a very good dog so far. So my question is how long do you spend on say training to sit? and when do you move on to the next area of training?
Suggestion when your dog isn’t food focused. He could care less sometimes only eats once a day late at night. Treats of course he loves but even with treats he’s fussy and will only eat certain treats. How can we train without food? Just positive reinforcement ie. Petting the dog praising ??
Mike, can you teach a old dog new tricks? Is it possible to train a dog that has gad no training for the first say 5 years of its life then start training. Obviously starting young is better but can older dogs with no prior training be taught. Does it seem to be harder to do it it that way. Hope that makes sense
Great video, and incredible content. wish I could have gotten a question in. So, on a off chance, you do this again here goes. My current Brittiany (female) I have her trained to Hold point to Wing and shot, she will retrieve a wounded bird without hard mouthing it (Killing the bird) For the second and third retrievals she is trained to hand signals. @ 5 years old she is a finished Bird dog. 3 Britiany I have owned and trained. have trained English pointers as well. So with all those great traits and attributes here is the Issue, Other than me, wife and son she HATES people, In the field if she sees another person, she will stop hunting and become abrasive towards the people. this behavior appeared at about 7 months of age and has not changed, looked at our online courses and did not see anything that would have corrective behavior in it.
Mike I have seen trainers use vocal noises instead of a clicker to mark. Is there a reason why a clicker would be better. The trainer I have followed says it keeps his hands free and that is a benefit. Any reason you would disagree with that style?
Can you train multiple dogs at once. I got stuck with my brother's 5 pittbulls because they killed the neighbors dog. The dogs are untrained. 3 to 6 years old. I'm gonna buy your dog program and give it a shot. I wonder if I should separate them before I train them?
I got a chiweenie that fell in my lap as pup. She is now a registered ESA dog. I've put years into working with her. I can take her anywhere, N do everyday, I work for fedex, we are all over place, never had a problem. But tons of hrs working with her. People are usually shocked a little dog doesn't bark, could care less about anyone but me in Walmart the mall, movie theater plane, you name it, she always looks at me for instructions
I’ve been looking for a good Belgian Mal puppy for over a year now got scammed on one out Hawaii but I really need help finding a nice puppy could you please help me love your shows
Sorry to point it out: modern e collar is the best invention since dog leash. It should be used on EVERY dog on low level stimulation. Every balanced trainer who uses leash pressure should strive to replace it with ecollar as soon as possible. I train protection and sport dogs for 40 years. And I simply hate, when this myth is repeated over and over:" ideally never..." If you think that, you shouldn't make videos about dog training and pretend you are a knowledgeable person in this regard. Ecollar is the most humane, precise and repeatable tool of control for a dog, which no leash and management can replace. And in low level stimulation is more an information tool than anything else, like leash and flat collar can be, but much more convenient in time and space.
“When do you start using an ecollar (or any tool)” well. Training a pup is different than getting a fucked yo adult or adolescent dog and having to unfuck their head and world. Very different.
Woo Hoo! Finally. Dog stuff. ;-)
The power of "look" is massively underestimated.
Thanks for the Dog Pod Mike! All the best in 2024
Absolutely brilliant. The only words needed to describe Mr Ritland. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Dogs/pets are the forever child....if you've raised children(hopefully well)...you can raise a pet. If you have no children or that experience and aquired a pet ......welcome...you now have a child.

Nice, been waiting for this. Recently got a new pup.
Thank you for answering my question Mike
Ya love this, Mike is such a boss when it comes to this stuff. You can learn so much. Dog handler pod casts my favorites
Good Morning Sir. Wishing a Happy New Year to you, your family, and everyone at Warrior Dogs.
🐾🐾🐾🍻🥂
Great video Mike thank you . Stay free 🇺🇸 and all the best 👍
Thank you.
Hey Mike!!! This was an amazing video. Learned a ton. Your podcasts kick ass!!! Thank you
This needs to be a weekly thing Mike ! Even if you repeat yourself… the information you give for dog training is worth repeating! Because of your advice and ver the years . Every time i work my dog outside I get dozens of people coming up to me and asking who trained my dog . I am gradually considering doing this part time because of how much I love working with k9s. Makes it so much fun when the dogs you train are possibly smarter than you . At the very least it’s incredibly entertaining. Again, Thank you for all the advice you provide over the years !
Hell the the Fawck yes dude!!!!!!!!! Legit better than Christmas this is gold.
Excellent , Love this show 🫡
59:39 Mike, you just made crack up, laughing out loud because I thought you were going to say start off by if you haven’t already choking yourself😂😂
Great guest this Ep.!
Helpful info.
Mike,
Excellent conversation and answers. Thank you for taking the time as well as your work to make this video. Very much appreciated...
Thank You Mike. wishing you, your dog & the rest of your family a very Happy New Year !
Awesome change of pace! Love all your other stuff but I like when the dog training stuff comes through too. Really sets you apart from similar creators in the military genre
Currently have a 27inch tall 120 lb Dutch Sheppard, he is very chill and does not act. When he was nose to nose with a smaller mix that dog snapped, Norris just stepped back, his body tensed like a spring seems he was waiting for the next move, the owner said sorry Norris relaxed. He loves being petted and is not easily distracted. Love the breed.
I've been looking for a good site to learn how to train and then step it up. Glad I came across you. I like your no bullshit approach. Thank you .I appreciate it. Looking forward to learning more ..
I’ve kept multiple Staffordshire bull terriers all my life. And I would say “mouthing” is a staffy trait. Mines have always did it especially when greeting people. My only concern with it is that other people who aren’t used to dogs will think there being attacked. So like Mike said being able to switch them off when needed is a must. Should also say they are usually pretty gentle when they do so
I love all the content sir thank you for all your info I always come back and watch your videos as I deal with my dogs thank you for your service and all you do….
Nice work on the podcast Mike. I feel like the interview with Taylor is going to get you in the mainstream
Happy New Year! Thank you, this will be fun!
i've been listening to your podcast for quite some time. stumbled over it by chance and stuck around as i used to be a paramedic and learning about your fields of expertise and your guest's has been indeed very interesting. thanks for that. also, i did have a collie and am getting a dutch shepherd in late august/september. i've been prepping for this for quite some time, maybe overdoing it but whatever. anyways. this video was very much helpful and checks alot of interesting boxes. i do like your aproach to dogtraining, seems to make a lot of sense. thanks for your podcasts and especially this one. cheers from austria

More dog content mike. Always intrigued by your dog knowledge. Thank you for sharing
Good Q and A session. Alot of good information on training. Should do this more often. You are really interesting to listen to. Good job.
Thanks!
We have 13 Bullmastiffs, ranging from 9 years old to 15 months old. Cant wait to start using some of these tips with them 😁
Please continue to do more canine content. I really appreciate your experience in this field, it's very helpful. Thank you!!!
Love dog information!
Great show!
Outstanding information
❤️🐕 Thank you
I highly recommend joining teamdog, was life changing for me and how I look at dogs and our relationships with them.
Thank you!!

The whole family watched this video Mike. Happy New Year from Stacie from the gas station.
Great video Mike! I have had labs for 40 years and learned that I am doing things wrong! Will get your book and video to learn more so we can train our Sadie Sue (6 month old yellow English Labrador) to be a better lady!

Mike are you going to review/comment on that new film 'Dog'?🐕🦺
Fascinating- My ODA trained USMC Security Bn on the MP-5 in the 90’s-to balance the Dick dance they launched their Mal’s on us-terrifying😮!! Fur Rocket crushed my forearm thru the training suit😂 it took 9 months to recover! Much respect 🇺🇸🤙🏼
I find peanut butter does the best trick in training just make sure you get the creamy kind if you get the crunchy kind they tend to nip more
🇱🇷👍🏻 Excellent Mike. Thanks.

Maybe you can answer this next time: What are your thoughts on dominance exercises for a new puppy? Ie. elevation dominance etc.
Note taking engaged
My Roxie eats grass while hunting, for water. She absorbs the water off the grass. I’ve almost broken her of that but that’s my viewpoint.
Yes sir!! ☝️☝️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mind blown
Which B.F. Skinny book do you recommend ?
Love the Dog podcast !🇺🇸
What's up skid Marks???
How do I send my 1 year old Giant Schnauzer down to you for training and how much?! Been listening to your show for years Mike. I never served but am drawn to hearing soldier stories. Keep them coming
I have a pitbull boxer mix. He has SO much energy. Is he a good breed for attention training? (He has a major ADD problem!)
i have a 9 week old German Shepard that is a very good dog so far. So my question is how long do you spend on say training to sit? and when do you move on to the next area of training?

So essentially most humans aren’t socialized 😂
You feed your dog raw meat? 🥩
... let the good times roll... mike dog drop..... I got a new package thanks to test .... you don't give a shit about my feelings ... WTF...
