In this entertaining weekly half-hour program, Mr. Silverman, a nationally renown TV show host, animal trainer and author, demonstrates how to train dogs and cats with the help of his furry friends either in-home or on location. The visual instructions are an easy way to learn the art of training our four legged family companions. Also, each week other animal trainers will be highlighted in our "Animal Actors" segment, as they talk about their experiences with not only dogs and cats, but all types of animals including bugs and snakes. The audience will learn about the time and detail that goes into the specific training needed for film and television production. New to Season 2 is our "Lessons With Luke", and "Lessons With Jax" segments. This is geared to the young novice learning how to perform a basic training step like "sit" or "lie down." This segment will team up a puppy and 13-16 year old. This is a simple exercise so the young person can feel as though it will be easy to accomplish, as they teach the puppy a new behavior each week. Our "Dog Training" segment is dedicated to help the average pet owner to overcome their most troubling issue with their pet. Mr. Silverman demonstrates exactly what is required to eliminate the problem. In a number of scenarios, filmed at the Nevada Humane Society, he actually trains the dog right in front of the camera within minutes. These segments are helpful for any household who has a dog and wants to improve obedience. Never heard of a trained cat? Well, Mr. Silverman knows how, and will show the audience the art of cat training. In our "Cat Training" segment, Mr. Silverman will train cats that are completely untrained right from the cattery at the Nevada Humane Society, as well as interview trainers and their cats that are trained for movies and commercials. Other weekly segments include "Working Dogs" and "Advance Behaviors" -both entertaining and educational. 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. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR DOG? will display the "E/I" icon throughout the broadcast and is closed captioned for the hearing impaired.

Station Primary Digital Channel - May is Foster Care Awareness month, a vital time to bring attention to a vulnerable population of kids and families. In support, ABC offers an all-new public service campaign including PSA's (Public Service Announcements). We often find that many publicity/news stories portray foster care negatively, focusing on the failings of individuals and systems. The goal is to help share some of the stories of success. They have collaborated with some of the most respected non-profits in the Child Welfare / Foster Care arena to shine a new, positive light on the kids in foster care and show that we can all make a difference to a child in need. It is an effort to 're-brand' foster care as a place of hope, optimism and opportunity. That effort will be pushed out across multiple platforms, including the creation of a campaign website, Fostermore.org. ABC provides a variety of assets to support this initiative, including a PSA campaign containing various length spots along with web banner ads.. Stations Primary Digital Channel - ABC's Summer of Service/YSA - ABC is teaming up with Youth Service America to award $225,000 in $1000 awards to recognize the great works being done by youth in our communities.
