Is the A&E reality show "Dog the Bounty Hunter" staged ?

I have seen the show a few times and aside from believing they’re both the undisputed King & Queen of WT!
I have always wondered if the whole thing is staged for TV and the so-called fugitives are hand picked,ensuring an easy & certain capture,in the process making them look good.
He usually wears a lot bling,bling,fancy boots with a drag queen style hairdo & his big TT wife looks silly as hell,running around in high heels with everything flopping all over the place when she chases after the fugitives plus their only weapon is industrial size pepper spray!?
I cannot see them being able to capture a 6’8 300lbs biker who is not willing to go peacefully or any hardcore criminal for that matter.
