Summary

On today's episode, Dennis speaks with K9 Handler, Sergeant Mark Tappan. Mark is a 15 year veteran with the police force and his dog Mattis is the most highly decorated dog in the department’s history. Mark has always seen dogs as a great bridge to connect law enforcement and the people they serve. They have grown their following on social media to millions. They are focused on using their platform to bring people together with fun and creative posts while giving insight into the special bond between a handler and K9. They appeared on the inaugural season of America’s Top Dog on A&E winning episode four and coming in a narrow second in the Champions Episode. That led to appearances on Entertainment Tonight, Good Morning America, Fox and Friends and in studio hosts on LivePD. Today Mark discusses what kick started his career, fixing the training system for law enforcement, importance of upholding the constitution, putting in the work to be prepared and training with excellence.
