"Coming this winter, “America’s Top Dog,” brings together top K9 cops and civilian dogs alongside their handlers as they compete nose-to-nose on the ultimate K9 obstacle course. The series is hosted by Curt Menefee alongside expert trainer Nick White and sideline reporting by Jamie Little, “America’s Top Dog” from MGM’s Big Fish Entertainment premieres this winter on A&E.
In each one-hour episode, four police K9 teams, including fan-favorites from the hit series “Live PD,” and one civilian team will face off for the title of “Top Dog” in three rounds of high velocity, furry competition. The skilled teams will be tested on their speed, agility, and teamwork by completing a series of expert tasks on a massive obstacle course including navigating a complex maze for scented items and apprehending and taking down a suspect in a bite suit, among a variety of other challenges. Each week’s winning team will receive $10,000 and an additional $5,000 to donate to the animal charity of their choice. In the final week of competition, top competitors will return to the finale course to battle for the title of “America’s Top Dog” and an additional $25,000 cash prize.
Series host Curt Menefee is an award-winning veteran studio and game broadcaster who currently co-hosts “Fox NFL Sunday” in addition to wrap-up show “The OT.” Alongside Menefee, expert trainer Nick White is a former US Marine and former member of the Secret Service with years of experience working with K9s as well as the owner of a dog training company with locations across the country. Menefee and White watch the action unfold on the course each week and provide in-depth explanation on the competition rounds. Jamie Little is a seasoned motor sports reporter covering the pit road for FOX NASCAR, as well as an animal rescue ambassador who served as a reporter at the 2019 Westminster Kennel Club Show. Little acts as sideline reporter on the course speaking with the teams as they make their way through the competition."

I love how serious they are the whole time and then immediately excited and happy lol 😂

[@elche752]

excited is not happy

[@creepertech3077]

el che he was saying they were feeling both emotions

[@cubbiemalone49]

The 34 dislikes are from criminals who’ve been bitten by police dogs 😂😂😭

Or Cat Lovers Js !!!

[@ojodeborah6468]

😂

[@dwhite3937]

Or the people that feel like these dogs should be working instead of appearing on TV shows and actually catching those criminals

[@tyronejackson7334]

[@amberkelly8055]

I love the high pitched voice guys get when playing with dogs

[@empowellment]

*Deep manly voice* HEEL! *Little squeaky voice* OhhESSuCHagOOdBoY

[@SwaggerChiick1]

Lolol

[@aneciadonald2933]

Everybody gots that one voice they talk to their dogs or other animals ❤️

[@Stxrrlistic]

LOL IKR

[@C0nejaa]

He should adopt Falco when he has to retire. A bond like that is worth saving!

[@spankthemonkey3437]

♡Lord Farquaad♡ he probably will

[@charlesdanger2062]

It's extremely common here in America that K-9 officers keep their dogs after they retire.

[@miltontaylor7750]

He will. K9 dogs live with their handlers when on active duty, after retirement they continue the home life. I live in Fargo, we just retired another good one last year. The same thing took place.

[@ichmeiner4531]

@@miltontaylor7750 that's so great to hear! It shows that the doggos aren't just a tool for police officers, but a real partner. Obviously the handler knows what's best for the dog and exactly how to control them in any given situation and I'm sure they enjoy retirement as a family dog. How long do the dogs usually work until they retire?

[@miltontaylor7750]

@@ichmeiner4531 Yes it is really cool that they are part of a family really working, not just a tool to be used for..well.. you know. I'm not sure exactly how long. I know the previous dog was like 7-8 years, but I'm sure it depends. Good talk Ich.

[@lolkobe]

Poor Dex he just wanted to munch on that man for a little while longer

[@wannabethiccbihhh1607]

this is honestly the absolute best live pd content ive ever seen.

[@reverett8386]

Dax did a wonderful job much like my boy he could care less about winning the competition he just wants to please you and make sure you're okay

[@kgrimes842]

Both dogs did amazing. I fell in love with falco but dex wouldn't let his partner out of his sight. You could tell he wasnt leaving his side even when he could clearly move ahead and just wait. That rope course is what made the difference between who won

[@joshboy88420]

I bet that second dog will be receiving extra training on release times

[@UnchainedAmerica]

Yah, he seems to "forget" the release command there.

[@DianChapman]

Dax is younger and yes, he gets into his job big time. He's OUR Lake County K9 Hero and we love him!

[@Dmanplayer723]

@. um what do you think a subject is doing while being chased and bitten by a 100 pound K9

[@kgrimes842]

Can you imagine that actually bite on skin?! Both dogs looked like they were about to shred that suit apart!

[@ds6058]

They don’t do verbal breaks in real life; it’s always a lift off for that reason

[@brendaswanson6629]

He looks back with such love in his eyes for his handler

[@melaniekirk6182]

Both teams were awesome and worked really well together!! My highest respect to everyone who is part of our law enforcement and the beautiful dogs are no exception!!❤

[@anniekinsmishkamouse7575]

That is a lot harder than it looks. Great partnerships. Amazing dogs. I cannot imagine having a canine companion for eight years and having to retire. You can hear the Officer's voice catch. I am happy Falco team won. Dex is half his age and will rise still more.

[@tracieward4174]

I live in Fargo North Dakota so I was rooting for Falco. But both dogs did amazing. Proud of both of them.

[@ncredbird3998]

I love training these amazing k9's and never tire of seeing them work with their human partners. Gives me chills every time.

[@sarahcruz9430]

Who else had this come up in their recommendations?🙋🏽‍♀️ (Edit)-both dogs are adorable and smart btw

[@ShadeMedia]

That slow motion shot of the first dog going for that bite. Seriously thats so visually stunning. The amount of agility and speed of these animals is insane. Truly mans best friend.

[@Kavya0704]

When dogs have more achievements than you ever did XD

[@chiderakalaji7206]

I love how these dogs got too make sure their suspect is dead 😆😆

[@bonnybonny8337]

A dog is not a man's best friend. He is the only friend.

[@eadecamp]

Thanks to all 4 of you for your service 🐕‍🦺.

[@iichelseaii9697]

American ninja warrior: picks a side This: doesn’t know which cute dog to pick

[@jasminenissen7169]

I saw Dax a couple years back when I was in elementary school, it was super impressive to see a dog hang on to a person with his teeth and I knew from that moment to never mess with police dogs since they will mess up your arm. That was a super cool day in school for me!

[@Jedi256]

This is the kind of story we need right now

[@ncredbird3998]

They need to make this a show of its own. Love it

[@bowlezp2441]

Fun Fact: At 4:11 there’s a bald guy, he’s a retired cop and when I was a kid he used to be my Karate teacher in Round Lake, IL.

[@BeeJayyDaDon]

This is so cool I live in Fargo and I’ve seen him and his dog

[@wtfdk3995]

You're heard him DeX got FB he gets excited when I talk about social media

[@Laurie-rq3xq]

I wish this show was still on! Loved watching these amazing dogs and their handlers ❤️

[@toasted_.coconut]

I didnt know I needed this show in my life!

[@kevinhoward3685]

I've never seen this show and I'm not even a minute in but I want Falco to win

[@natwinkel7790]

Awesome dogs and great handlers. You can see the love!

[@jennifercox1935]

Best dogs man....very smart

[@kirstyfranklin5777]

Best part about the show is when the dogs chase the decoy i love that part seeing it in slow motion with the dogs reactions and how the decoy adjusts his body .

[@susimartinez4830]

The first one is very loyal. He could have ran it faster but chose to stay by his trainers side.

[@trevlone8350]

I don’t know how many times I’ve got to go through my spiderwebs at home

If you'd ever had to struggle go get through a hoarders home...you'd understand that obstacle.
