<\/p>\nSeason 1 of The Pack premieres on November 20, 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The Pack<\/a>,<\/em> produced by Amazon Studios<\/a>, debuts on Amazon Prime Video on November 20th, and features two teams of 12 dogs and their humans competing all over the world for prize money.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Pack is co-hosted by Lucy the dog and her human Gold Medalist skier Lindsey Vonn. \u00a9AmazonPrime<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gold medalist\u00a0ski racer Lindsey Vonn<\/a>\u00a0and her dog Lucy co-host The Pack<\/em><\/a> series. At stake is a $500,000, which goes to the winners, and an additional $250,000 for the animal charity of their choice. To win the monetary prize, the teams depend on their understanding of one another\u2019s strengths and weaknesses. In each locale, the human and dog duos face fun and exciting challenges, designed in concert with a team of accredited veterinarians and certified dog experts who also accompany the group on their journey.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was my job to first ensure that all of the\u00a0challenges, travel plans and locations on the show were safe for the dogs,\u201d says Nick Benger<\/a>, a professional dog trainer and the Dog Safety Team Trainer on The Pack<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThen I came along on their amazing journey to ensure that everything was safe on the day, and that all of the dogs were having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n Part of Nick\u2019s job was to also be certain the dogs were not experiencing stress during the competition.<\/p>\n \u201cMy degree is in canine behavior, so ensuring that our dogs weren’t stressed was something I was personally very passionate about,\u201d he says. \u201cAmazon Prime Video did a fantastic job of facilitating that. We were empowered to intervene if we felt a dog was stressed, even if that meant cutting the production day short, giving the dog a break or making an\u00a0adjustment to resolve the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Contestant Lucy Riles and her black Labrador Retriever Duchess bonded even more strongly through the competition. \u00a9AmazonPrime<\/p>\n<\/div>\n During the various challenges the contestants face, it\u2019s apparent that the bond between the canines and their humans blossoms. Contestant Lucy Riles<\/a> and her 8-year-old rescue Labrador Retriever Duchess are a perfect example.\u00a0Riles never imagined she would be part of a competition because she\u2019d never competed in anything before. Plus, she is a decade older than most of the other human contestants.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a stay-at-home mom of three elementary age children, which has many demands,\u201d she says. \u201cMy attention is often stretched thin like a rubber band. Being able to travel the world with just me and my girl, Duchess, was such a special and deeply bonding experience.\u201d<\/p>\n Duchess seemed to really enjoy her time on The Pack<\/a>,<\/em> and even discovered a special talent: pulling sleds in the snow.<\/p>\n The 12 human and furry contestants travelled all over the globe to compete in a variety of challenges that test their bond. \u00a9LillyRolnick<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cBeing a Southern California dog, Duchess had never been in snow before\u00a0The Pack<\/em><\/a>,\u201d says Lucy. \u201cShe absolutely loved it, which made my heart so happy! Throughout training, one task Duchess really thrived in was pulling. So the fact that one of her best skills coincided with one of her favorite locations was truly thrilling to watch! I was such a proud dog mama.\u201d<\/p>\n Featured\u00a0photograph \u00a9LillyRolnick<\/i><\/p>\n Read Next:<\/strong>How to Raise a Puppy to be a Guide Dog<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The post Check Out New Dog Reality Show: Amazon Prime’s The Pack<\/a> by Audrey Pavia<\/a> appeared first on Dogster<\/a>.
