Top Dog is a light entertainment competition format for teams of highly skilled dogs and their owners. The dogs which compete are divided into 3 categories. 1] Underdogs – regular dogs that don’t ‘have a job’ but do participate in competitions 2] Working dogs – those that do ‘have a job’ but not for law enforcement (example: seeing eye dog or mountain rescue job) 3] K9 / law enforcement dogs. Teams compete against each other in 2 rounds, which test them on their speed, agility and teamwork by completing a series of challenges on a giant obstacle course. The winner of every episode goes to the finale episode to compete against each other for the title of Top Dog.
