Eric Presnall
Before working with the K9 Training Institute, Eric was the host of the hit Animal Planet TV show “Who Let the Dogs Out”.
The show went searching for the coolest and most well-trained dogs in the U.S. – skateboarding dogs, surfing dogs, service dogs, etc.
His role was to judge the trainers in terms of how well their dogs were trained, while working with Hollywood stars who were also animal rights activists (like Betty White, Greg Kinnear, etc.)
