Revolutionizing Dog Training; Team Dog
About this video
Mike Ritland introduces his online dog training community called Team Dog, designed to help everyday dog owners train their pets themselves. He explains that millions of dogs are surrendered to shelters annually due to preventable behavioral issues stemming from poor communication and confusion. Ritland emphasizes that his training approach focuses on non-verbal communication, reinforcement, and relationship-building, and is applicable to all breeds and skill levels.
