I’m the fatty who can’t control myself from getting the peanut butter cups at Walmart. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂

I trained my GSD from a pup. Today I allowed her to chase a bunny and she was having so much fun but then it darted towards the road. I yelled her recall command and she snapped back to me like it was life or death. I have never been so proud of my girl. In mid chase the commands got through. My girl is amazing.

Who ever you're training Arrow for is getting one hell of a dog. Love these videos

I am really enjoying these extra videos! Can’t say enough good things about team dog!! Keep bringing the great content.

I like how you emphasize the handlers behavior. We are usually the cause of unwanted behaviors. I'm learning a lot watching your content. Thank you!

being someone on disability whose finances are tight i am really enjoying these informative videos, i have already taught my german shepherd to go to his bed and stay, so thank you so much i will have to get the ball out now, again thanks for the videos.

This is exactly how my dog behaves. I've been consistently "behavioring" and training him for about a year, but it was like a light went on in his head, and now he does this, and I trust and appreciate him so much more. I found Mike's book just today, and I am going to read and use it. Train your dogs, they're your most effective physical allies!

That has to be the best backyard ever for dog training!! Wish I had a backyard like that to train my pup! Thanks for the informative video

That dog looks SO happy!

Love it! My wife is a dog trainer in Utah and has such a tough time getting clients to put the work in. Great approach in starting small and slowly increasing the difficulty. Thanks for the vid!

It's about your energy and control, Mike's ability to control his emotions is key, good video.....

Love your attitude, sense of humor, analogies; no nonsense, no bullshit same training with kids and dogs. Wish more people would take that to heart. Great content keep up the great work.

Awesome tips for training!! Thanks Mike. Please keep the videos rollin.

Impulse control me in a gun shop lol.

Great advice Mike. Takes time .. I got my two to drop side by side. WAIT. Role a ball a short distance in front. Schultz WAIT (good boy), Spike FETCH (yes). Then reverse roles. Speak to each dog. Baby steps.

Great work brother Mike! Take care! Thanks for all you do!

Thanks for the video and the info. We live in the country and have 4 dogs. Impulse control is a tough issue, especially with three of them. We'll try separating one and teaching the basics, then go from there. Thanks again.

This is almost the most perfectly timed video release yet. Lol. Thanks for a more insight on this kind of training.

Another great video! So important for the relationship between people and dogs.

I've learned ALOT Just from this One Video. Man PLEASE Keep These Videos Going!

Excellence as always Mike. High quality content and Arrow is a star. Thanks for your presentation.

Great video! My dog has huge prey drive and it's something I've struggled with to help him out. Going to try this. Thank you!

Love these videos they are great! Would love a walk through the warrior dog kennel and to see some of them!!

Good stuff..keep the momentum going!

i am the person who is learning by lots of trials, and lots of errors to train 2 Anatolian mix LGD's.!...............................and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for all the advice on your u tube videos.........i just plain do not have the time spend to train them like you would.......but from what i have learned from you......we are doing VERY WELL.....and getting better every day......my dogs are farm dogs that prefer to be outside.......and little by little they are learning to behave in my house, and take nice long leash walks with me!

Great video Mike. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome stuff. And a natural behind the camera. Remember folks, the 3 D’s: Distance Duration Distraction Start small, and increase distance, duration, and distraction. Fan of the show and VE (Vigilance Elite). And, just submitted monthly donations. Have to support this awesome cause.

Great tip Mr. Mike! Keep up the great work.

Your dog looks so relaxed love it

I am learning so much from you and these videos!

Appreciate the info. These are gold nuggets given to us for free. Much respect. 💪🇺🇸

Fellow trainer here. Thank you for waving the flag for real science based training.

Thanks Mike. Have a great weekend. Danny Hayes

Thanks Mike very informative , I will use your techniques and practice with my boy Remington. Anticipate watching more of your videos . again thank you.

Great explanation!

Mike, great video...keep 'em coming.

Great videos. Hope to see some when you first start with a dog. Good work!

Thanks for the video mike.

Great stuff, thanks for the tips!

Great stuff ... TeamDog is a must I’ll be signing up

Amazing tips and tricks from the best! I can personally testify that all of this worked and produced a near perfectly acting dog at all times. This combined with genetics shape annext level dog.

This was very informative!!!! Thank you!!!!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for this type of content (well done)

I think the key to the nuance Mr. Ritland refers to is keeping it just voice inflection while not exuding any negative angry or aggressive energy? I'm trying to train a half pitbull half German Shepard need all the help I can get...

Such a good, happy dog, way to go sir.

Man I like your calm style.

Simply your the BEST!

Thanks for this video.

These are great. Look forward to them

Learned so much bro! ❤

"Wrapped around the axle". Used by my Dad for my entire youth describing other people or me losing emotional control. He was a USAF SAC aircraft commander. I have always assumed it originated as a military term. In the late 1990s, I drove my GTO (low ground clearance, duh) through a farm field full of farm detritus. I got back on the gravel road and there was lots of repetitive loud noise. I had quite a length of barbed wire wrapped around my driveshaft...that counts for axle. It was a bitch to get it off of there without wire cutters. Live and Learn. Brought to you by EDC Leatherman Multitools. 😎👍🏻🇺🇸

Tips and comedy in one video. I like it!

I’ve done similar with a grocery store "real lemon" on a pole with a short rope for stock dogs. Then worked up to making them "walk up" when feeding. Cool stuff. Military working dogs are too cool.

Thank you

God bless you sir and have a great day. Huge fans from so cal 🙌🏼🐺🇺🇸

Good stuff Mike. Thanks for sharing this content. Really enjoying it from cold as balls Northern Indiana

Love the videos ... Keep ‘me coming

Arrow is such a good boy!

Great stuff 👍

Good information

Awesome - thanks.

Thanks for the great training video Mike! Your book and videos have been super helpful in training my first working class GSD pup who is high prey high drive. More than any other dog I’ve ever had! Did you count your fingers after you gave Arrow back that ball?

Really enjoy the videos, Mike! Have an 18 month catahoula leopard dog, super food driven. Employed multiple facets of your training, works wonders! Thanks!

As always mr ritland gr8 vids

Thank you Mike I’ve been watching your videos and listening to your podcasts for years now and find everything very informative! I see your videos to others and you are the only positive person about training the others say don’t do this don’t do that and don’t buy a certain dog . You say yes you can just by taking the time and train.

Thanks for this vid! Turns out I wanted my dog to go too fast :-) Also fun to hear you saying commands in my native language (Dutch)!

Thank u

Tnxs Mike ✌

New rescue Cletus with us and working on some things- I'm able to set his meal down on his mat and without a single word he knows to sit and wait - we exchange a certain look now. He doesn't get to eat the chow until I say "ok" - more stuff we are working on. Cletus is a regular family dog so we just want to make sure we aren't pulled down the sidewalk (also improving and he will look back and focus on us) or having a totally checked out dog. He comes from violence and abuse and while harness isn't ideal, we are making gains on leash manners. It seems to work best for him and due to some events in his past we just kept the harness. If we had started as younger /puppy I would never get a harness. So takes more time to get that leash manners stuff squared away but we make progress each time. We got lucky he isn't reactive or dramatic seeing people and animals out and about . Isn't aggressive. Just anxiety and still in decompression stages of adoption. The anxiety we are tackling from 3 prong approach - meds as needed via vet, consistent exposure to the things that cause anxiety and learning what makes him at ease which is us being calm, consistent, and he actually likes his crate. For a rescue with some dark days in his past and being with us only around 5 weeks, we are proud of the progress. I would say the biggest thing is us staying chill and consistency. He is very smart and well mannered. It's amazing to me he innately knows how to protect his home. He only barks when appropriate- folks approaching house or yard etc. He patrols the house regularly. No one knows he is a pile of love goo and not aggressive. His bark, situational awareness and stance is deterrent enough for others risking our safety. Not sure how he knows that. Recent walk he and i were together and my husband was at work. An off leash dog charged us and I had my pepper spray, police baton and non challenging but protective stance. Turns out the loose dog was a silly goober but Cletus stood between me and that dog and calmly got through the event with tolerance but very aware and protective. I didn't teach that. I wouldn't know how to teach that. We just work on the super basics. So proud of him

Thank you :9

Another academy award winning production man. Love your info and style of delivery ~.

I don't even have a dog at the moment and want to join team dog.. the psychology and skill is very interesting

me and my german sheperd is watching this, gave him the sideeye when you mentioned bikes 😅

Mike, Just discovered you and your trainings. Great stuff. I'm hooked and will be following you as I work with my 1.5 yr old Rottie. Tnx's

These tips are great! We lost our dog last year due to cancer but she was an extremely well behaved 100lb American Bulldog. When we replace her I'm signing up for your teamdog.pet site! Thanks for doing these videos! I enjoy your other work as well, Mike drop for example.

I love how at 10:45 he spits the ball out like "here fucker".

2 years ago and this shit is still great 😂😂😂😂

"Aim small, miss small."... Hahahaha...great quote from the movie "Patriot". (Mel Gisbon's character is in the woods asking his sons if they remember what he said about aiming while hunting(in this case humans(British redcoats who have Mel's oldest son and their older brother captive. In other words, he's saying-aim for center mass body shots, not head shots)). Gota love a good movie quote, well timed and used properly, and also and perhaps most importantly-cited.

Hey Mike, will you train this on a lead as well? for the super beginner dog? Also for a overdramatic throw or kick of the ball or thing? What does the progression look like for you on this drill?

Love the way you talk in these videos,, straight to the fucking point... !! Two thumbs up bro.. ahh thank you for your service!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

How do you socialize your dogs to vacuums, leaf blowers, etc.

That’s a nice dog 🐕👌🏽

Great stuff. Gonna definitely use your knowledge when I get a new pup!

Dude, that combat action ribbon in the back is sick looking. Never seen medals and ribbons done like that. Super cool

These principles are very similar to training my Bird dogs to “Wing and Shoot” it’s all about the basement and backyard before you introduce them to live birds and a shoot gun.

Peanut butter cups included wish you'd post regular dog content of training, working etc along with the mike drop podcast!

Those are some quick jaws!

Love these videos. I’m gonna work on this with my Malamutes and the Woodle (wife got this one)

Good dawg

Love these videos. I've been trying to get my girlfriend and her kids to learn simple techniques with the dogs like not letting them dash out the back door when they open it to take a piss. 12 year old uses a baby voice to get the dogs to do what he wants and they seem to not only dislike it, but fear it. 16 year old can't do anything without being on her phone so dogs don't listen. In 5 minutes I got the dogs to sit and react to one hand movement before I throw a ball to play with them. Kids can't understand it and also like to narrate what they want the dogs to do instead of using a single word in a calm assertive voice.

I loved the video. Great technique. I would so love to have you with my 6month old female puppy Pepper a black lab

Great video! My 7 month old sable DDR GSD (who looks like Arrow, though she's from the Czech Republic) does the same pool thing. A lot of times, when she looks like she's going to step into the pool, even though we're getting ready to go in, I tell her "no" and she backs off. But not always! Love the vids and books, Mike.

May be just me but I was thinking the entire time. Hope the dog goes on the water again 🤣

You did your Dutch commands well( Let me guess Dutch Shepherd 😋)..Thanx for the tips!

Can you do a video or like a lil segment on how to teach your dog to play fetch my dog never brings it back

Our rescue dog, catahoula, is prey driven. He refuses to give back the ball. How do we deal with that?

Some day , before I die, I will have a dog, my mom had a German shepherd when she was a kid , they are my favorite

Mike, I see that Secret teachings of all ages by Manly P Hall up there on your shelf. That is so fucking rad to see!

What is a good thing to use to mimic a squirrel or bunny?

Hi, I have a border collie mix who will constantly bark when we stop throwing the ball at the beach or take it away. How do we teach him to stop barking while waiting or is it the same concept. He will wait but he will bark the entire time.
