SEAL Team Ten Canine Handler Chris Cappa Part Two | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 174

Training an animal to move, obey, and communicate effectively is no easy feat - especially when you're serving at the Tip of the Spear. That's where SEAL Team Ten Canine Handler Chris Cappa met Mickey anyway - a scrappy pup that would go on to become an absolute beast on deployment, snagging bites and catching bombs for nearly every op he went on. Of course, that's only part of the story, and finding out the full weight of the military's might in the wake of the coronavirus scare, traveling to foreign lands for plant-based medicines, and joining the Warrior Dog Foundation's new Home with Handlers program all play a part. Just take it from Chris. ---------- Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 01:10 - From SEAL Team 10 to SEAL Team 7 07:11 - Mickey's First Bite 19:55 - Training for Targeted Bitework 30:00 - Dampened Deployment 35:40 - LPO of the MPC 42:59 - No Shot For Me, Thanks 50:56 - Haircuts and Mustaches 54:19 - What Would Have Been Next? 01:03:06 - Ibogaine and Plant-Based Medicines 01:21:50 - The Warrior Dog Foundation's Home with Handlers Program ---------- Support Chris Cappa - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_chriscappa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WarriorDog/videos/warrior-dog-home-whandler-program/380732714475128/ Support the Warrior Dog Foundation - The Warrior Dog Foundation: https://warriordogfoundation.org/donate Teamdog: https://teamdog.shop/ ---------- Sponsors: Beam Take advantage of Beam's biggest sale of the year and get up to 40% off for a limited time when you go to https://www.shopbeam.com/MIKEDROP and use promo code MIKEDROP at checkout! ---------- ZBiotics Go to zbiotics.com/MIKEDROP to get 15% off your first order when you use MIKEDROP at checkout.
