I came across that site about a week ago and watched a couple clips and the trailer. I thought it looked pretty interesting, unfortunately I don't have cable so I'll just have to wait until they post episodes online or something.

Hopefully they'll put entire episodes online so you can watch them. I've known for years that VLK was up north here in Indiana but had never really paid attention to where until the show started airing and the surroundings started looking familiar. Turns out I drive right past the place a dozen times a year or more...I'll need to stop in and say hi next time I'm going by. These guys train a lot of law enforcement and military dogs!

I dont get NatGEO wild...I was looking forward to the show for a week. Thinking I got it. I am following online though. I like everything that he does. Loved it when the dog bit his handler during the live fire exercise...lol

JWALKER... Funny.. that was my favorite part too.. .lol.. .Probably because I couldnt understand why the guy couldnt see that coming!!

THen you had the one where They did the long bite out of the Helicopter and the handler needed to get the dog to focus away from the bite so that he could focus on his search for the explosives... I expected to see more excitement from the handler. He was right to tell him that he may be in the training a while longer if he didnt get it.

I like the show as well - I wish they would do less promotional clips and show more dog training though.....................

I have to say the promo shot that shows them all walking and the explosion behind them is cool ...

I wonder where they get there dogs from. The episode I watched that was showing four dogs being trained for scent detection with explosives - had I think 2 mals - GSD and a lab...............the lab was a crazy boy-couldn't focus on anything but the handler - I fell asleep before I finished the episode - the handler was skeptical at the time if he would pass.................

"I wonder where they get there dogs from."

Anywhere they can. From what I understand, they have several people living in Europe whose job is to find appropriate candidates.
