The television show "Alpha Dogs" premieres tonight on the Nat Geo Wild channel.

The program chronicles the Vohne Liche Kennels in Peru, Indiana - founded by U.S Air Force Senior Master Sergeant Kenneth Licklider in 1993.

Licklider told the Kokomo Tribune that film crews followed him and his fellow trainers six-days-a-week between May and October of 2012:

“It was a lot more intense than any of us thought it would be. The process was arduous.”
