June 29 – August 2021: America’s Top Dog Season 2 continues
Don’t miss season two of America’s Top Dog’s A & Es, where professional working dogs and well-trained outsiders compete alongside their humans to see who Top Dog is.
Season two of A & Es America’s Top Dog wags in a new format of head-to-head match-ups where a puppy competes against another competitor in her class of working dogs, police K9s and “underdogs” to prove it who is best at speed and agility, teamwork and trust as dogs and their human partners tackle massive canine obstacle courses. The winners of each of the three classes go head-to-head to determine who is the top dog of the week. Each week’s winning team will receive $ 10,000 plus $ 5,000 to donate to the animal welfare organization of their choice. The winning teams return last week to compete for the America’s Top Dog and an additional $ 25,000. The award-winning experienced studio and sports broadcaster Curt Menefee and the actor and comedian David Koechner bring the action to the point for us dog lovers at home, while the side reporter Rachel Bonnetta gets going with the competing teams on the course. See Season 2 Episodes 1 and 2 on play.aetv.com.
