Start with Puppy Questions

Explore choosing a puppy, when to begin training, puppy play, distractions in class, and building foundations. Follow conversations about the questions that come with raising a young dog.

Talk Training & Teamwork

Join discussions about practice, agility tricks, puppy fitness, and ring stress for both dogs and people. Find topics to think about as you grow together as a team.

Meet Our Special Guests

Enjoy guest conversations featuring Judge Nick Sparks, Dolly Freiberger on obedience, and Mikey Elf on discriminations—alongside Luke and Lisa’s dog-training talks.

Come for the Puppies. Stay for Luke.

Two rescue pups brought Lisa and her nephew Luke together for conversations about puppy training. Luke was eight years old when these videos were filmed, and he says exactly what he thinks. Nothing is scripted—from his candid opinions to his own news and weather segments. It’s a little learning, a lot of personality, and plenty of laughs. Across 24 free episodes, explore puppy questions, training foundations, agility, confidence, fitness, and everyday life with dogs, along with special guest conversations. Start at the beginning or choose a topic that interests you. When you’re ready for more, the What’s Next lessons point you to training videos with Emmy and Zoomy in the Puppy Bundle and to All Access Membership.

Learn with Lisa Schmit

Join Luke and me as we talk about puppies, training, and the dogs who share our lives. I enjoy helping people think through their training questions and build a stronger connection with their dogs. These conversations offer a friendly place to explore ideas, hear from guests, and keep learning together.
