Also, each week other animal trainers will talk about their experiences with dogs and cats - especially the specific training needed for a film, television program or commercial. We call this segment "Animal Actors." In the "Lessons with Luke" & "Lessons with Jax" segments, kids and puppies will team up together in this portion of the show. The kids will aid Joel in teaching a German Shepherd puppy (Lessons with Jax) or a Havanese puppy (Lessons with Luke) a new behavior each week. Our "Dog Training" segment dedicated to helping the young pet owner, in their home, to overcome their most troubling issue with their pet. Mr. Silverman demonstrates exactly what is required to eliminate the problem. This is helpful for any household who has a dog and wants to improve obedience. The skills learned in each half hour is not only to improve training skills but will teach young people patience, kindness, responsibility, determination and understanding - all needed in life, as well.

This group of knowledge-seeking kids will start right in their own backyards, beginning with local streams that eventually lead to the oceans of the world. By pointing out the problems they encounter, they hope to educate their peers on what they can do to solve these environmental dilemmas. In most cases, it is not too late to change the tide of destruction.
