Boot Camp For Planet Zoo

The boot camps combine cool shabby-chic settings (originally the Amansala eco-resort in this yoga mecca on the Mayan Riviera and now also on Ibiza) with activities and vacation fun. Most of the fitness classes, from power walks to cardio workouts to yoga classes, take place right on the sand and they’re complemented with salsa or belly.

NAPLES, Italy — Petty Officer 2nd Class Ashleigh Pankratz got more stares than usual while strolling Tuesday with Nero, her military working dog.

And thousands more people will see the master-at-arms and her German shepherd on the job when the Animal Planet television channel airs footage that a camera crew shot in Naples for a new series.

10 Panda Boot Camp Some captive panda breeding programs have ended in heartbreak, like when Xiang Xiang the captive-bred panda was killed just one year after being released into the wild. That’s where the idea of panda boot camp comes in. Tao Tao was a giant panda raised in Wolong Nature Preserve with the goal of preparing him to live in the. Other types include stroller boot camps for moms, bridal boot camps and general boot camps (although be sure to ask if it's co-ed or women only if you'd rather work out sans guys). Almost all boot camps include exercises like jumping jacks, squats, sprints and more-which are then geared toward the specific type of camp. Planet Zoo General Discussions Topic Details.

“K-9 Boot Camp” was spurred by the popularity of a 90-minute special on military working dogs at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. Pankratz was featured in the special during a Military Working Dog Handler course.

A crew with the Washington, D.C.,-based Discovery Communications Inc., the parent company of the Animal Planet channel, is spending a few days in Capodichino and Sigonella, Sicily, to catch up with the dogs and sailors and see how their real-world jobs compare with their training.

Pankratz, 20, from Great Falls, Mont., said, “It’s cool getting e-mails from friends back in the States” who saw her on television.

Various crews have been filming since February to capture working dogs’ lives, said Clare Fisher, series producer for “K-9 Boot Camp.”

Film from Lackland shows how the puppy program breeds dogs and fosters them out to families for a year. In Norfolk, Va., a perky springer spaniel named Molly searches submarines before they leave port.

The crew scored great footage of dogs on the Mexican border making a marijuana and cocaine bust, “which was just fantastic for the customs people and for us to film it,” said Fisher, 35, from Bristol, England.

Overseas, footage features dogs at Ramstein and Spangdahlem air bases, Germany. A crew also followed active-duty dogs securing a base in Kirkuk, Iraq. Fisher said she quickly developed a respect for the servicemembers and their dogs working in the heat. About six men shared a tent with eight dogs.

“There’s no privacy,” she said. “That’s an amazing commitment for them.”

After Naples, the crew heads to Sigonella. Former Lackland students stationed on Okinawa also will be filmed.

It is the second time in two weeks that Naples masters-at-arms are in the spotlight. Last week, a crew shot footage in Naples, the only non-U.S. site for a recruiting video on the masters-at-arms program.

“We appreciate the exposure,” said Chief Petty Officer Daniel Lavely, 38, Capodichino kennel master from Derby, Iowa.

The first two “K-9 Boot Camp” episodes air Oct. 6 on the Animal Planet channel. The other six episodes air the following Mondays.
