(WASHINGTON, D.C. & PASADENA, CA. - Jan. 13, 2017) Nat Geo WILD's third annual BarkFest weekend is a celebration of our furever friends.

The third annual BarkFest premieres on Friday, April 14, on Nat Geo WILD. For more information, visit our press website at natgeotvpressroom.com or follow us on Twitter using @NGC_PR.
"I double dog dare you not to turn to mush watching Puppies vs. The World," said Geoff Daniels, executive vice president and general manager, Nat Geo WILD. BarkFest is always the highlight of our year because it's such a fun and inspiring celebration of man's best friend. Sometimes it's adorable, sometimes a tearjerker, always warm and fuzzy. I paw-mise."
Highlights include:
Puppies vs. The World
For puppies, it's a brand-new world out there, full of obstacles, setbacks and amazing new experiences. We challenge puppies to do the simplest tasks like drink water, climb stairs and escape the clutches of a toddler, and the outcome is uproarious misadventure. Along the way, we include quick and fascinating facts about puppy development and peek in on The Puppy House, which is just what is sounds like: a house full of puppies!
Hell Hounds(wt)
As one of Los Angeles' top dog trainers, Stevo Henderson is on a mission to help dog owners achieve their perfect dog through his innovative training methods and uncanny understanding of canine behavior. Stevo doesn't just train dogs - he saves relationships through his coaching and assured leadership. Watch Stevo work through struggles with owners, help dogs that others have given up on and ultimately celebrate small and large victories together.
BarkFest also features special episodes of Cesar Millan's Dog Nation, The Incredible Dr. Pol: Deja Moo!: Dog-a-POL-ooza and a special dog-focused Pet Talk.
