"It's Me or the Dog", now in it's fourth season. Victoria's core reward-based training philosophy
is “There’s a better way to train dogs – Positively.”

It's Me or the Dog
  How to Have the Perfect Pet

 

Victoria’s first book, It’s Me or the Dog: How to
Have the Perfect Pet
is the ultimate guide to understanding your dog and building a balanced relationship based on trust and respect.

Provides concise philosophies on dog training with more detail on common dog behavior issues. Her effective techniques can tame even the most problematic dog.

Simple, intuitive instructions and stunning color photography help dog owners not merely train their pets, but understand them -- so when a new issue arises, they’ll be able to adjust their approach and nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.

Throughout, she reminds owners that training isn’t about imposing their will on a dog; it’s about giving him the tools he needs to live in the human world. Central to her philosophy is that in order to fully understand and effectively communicate with your dog, you must first learn to talk and think dog and see the world from the dog’s point of view – only then can the bond between dog and owner truly be based on constructive discipline, mutual respect and love

Chapters include:

  • Think Dog: understanding your pup
  • Talk Dog: canine communication
  • Dog School: basic obedience training
  • Dog’s Dinner: the right diet
  • Accidents Will Happen: house-training
  • You’ll Never Walk Alone: exercise
  • Worker’s Playtime: having fun with your dog

It's Me or the Dog
  Fat Dog Slim: How to Have a Healthy, Happy Pet

 

This book takes a different direction, focussing on dog obesity and behavioural problems based on diet.
It's Me or the Dog: Fat Dog Slim: How to Have a Healthy, Happy Pet has been described as "You are What You Eat" - for dogs!

It's no wonder that so many dogs have behavioral problems when you look at what really goes into a typical can of dog food. Or why dog obesity is increasing exponentially when you look at the sedentary lifestyles so many owners lead.  In her second book, Victoria tackles the hottest canine subject of the day and shows how you can have a happy, fit, healthy dog by giving them the right food and the right exercise. Along the way she deals with all sorts of related behavioral problems - from food stealing to managing exercise - in her typically feisty and highly effective way.

Chapters Include:

  • Dogs’ Dinners:  good food/bad food; what/how much should puppies and dogs eat? How to make simple dog food yourself; food for puppies/older dogs/particular conditions.
  • Fat Dog to Slim Dog:  what is overweight?  Eating plans for overweight dogs; top tips for sticking to it.
  • Problems, Problems:  behavioral problems around food and Victoria's solutions to them including stealing food, constant begging, etc.
  • Walkies and Workouts:  How exercise is crucial to well-being; how much exercise different breeds need; motivating reluctant exercisers; dealing with problems when exercising such as running off, pulling on lead etc.
