The Second Season of “America’s Top Dog” Premieres Tuesday, June 29, 2021 @ 8PM on A&E

“America’s Top Dog” features furry friends alongside their handlers facing off on a massive canine obstacle course designed to test their speed, agility, teamwork, and trust as they navigate a series of challenges over two rounds of competition. Award-winning veteran studio and sports broadcaster Curt Menefee and actor and comedian David Koechner serve as hosts and break down the action, while sideline reporter Rachel Bonnetta catches up with the teams down on the course.

Season two introduces a new format with head-to-head match-ups, pitting a pup against another competitor in their class across working dogs, police K9s, and “underdogs,” for an epic battle to prove who is best. The winners of each of the three classes face-off head-to-head to determine who is that week’s Top Dog. Each week, the winning team will receive a $10,000 cash prize as well as an additional $5,000 to donate to the animal charity of their choice. In the final week of competition, the winning teams return for the ultimate face-off for the title of “America’s Top Dog” and an additional $25,000. The competition continues across season three with even more breeds, high-stakes, and new rules.

Here’s a scene from the first season.
