Duane “Dog” Chapman, star of the wildly popular hit A&E reality television series Dog The Bounty Hunter did a SOLD OUT Alberta tour with Trixstar Productions in April 2007.

Chapman’s speaking engagements, throughout Alberta and Canada, have broken attendance records and garnered high praise from the press and public.  His message of strong faith, family, believing in “second chances” and being the best at what you do speaks to everyone.  Chapman’s own style, warmth, sense of humor, and intensity brings the message home.

Duane “Dog” Chapman is the star of A&E’s Dog the Bounty Hunter, owner of Da Kine Bail Bonds in Hawaii, and a New York Times #1 best-selling author. Chapman has been dubbed the most successful bounty hunter in the world, with well over 6,000 captures over his career - 200 of them featured on his hit show, which recently celebrated its 100th episode.

Chapman’s reputation as a successful bounty hunter was already well-known in the bail bonds and law enforcement communities, but he went on to world-wide fame and accolades after capturing serial rapist Andrew Luster in Mexico in 2003.  Luster is now serving a 124-year sentence.  

In Chapman’s best-selling memoir, You Can Run But You Can’t Hide, Dog recounts his incredible story, chronicling his journey from troubled beginnings and tragedy to triumph and transformation.
Season 5 of Dog the Bounty Hunter currently airs Wednesdays on A&E and continues with “Dog” and his posse capturing fugitives week to week in adrenaline-fueled hunts in Hawaii and Colorado. Season 5 highlighted the series’ 100th episode, a major landmark for television shows.

Dog the Bounty Hunter has been one of the highest rated real life series on cable since it launched in 2004.  It is produced by Hybrid Films for A&E Network.
