32 OKC Pets • March/April 2021 PUPPY BOWL PRESENTS: THE DOG GAMES WRITTEN BY: Travis Brorsen Pet Expert, Trainer and TV Host D o you have a well-behaved dog? Do you find yourself performing with your dog in front of your friends? Do you think you can compete when the pressure is on? You might get a chance! In this new show streaming on Discovery+, four amateur dog trainers compete in a three- round elimination competition for a chance to win a cash prize to be donated to the pet charity of the winner’s choice. It’s a battle of brains, beauty and bark!  It was just a year ago I was contacted to be a consultant for a new show originally titled, “H.O.R.S.E. for Dogs.” My friends at Animal Planet recommended me to consult the pro- duction company and fine tune the specifics of the competition. As you can imagine, I was elated! After competing on CBS’ “Greatest American Dog” competition in 2008, I felt ready to help build a show.
