Victoria Stilwell - "It's Me or the Dog"

 
Victoria Stilwell of "It's Me or the Dog" fameVictoria Stilwell is a well known dog trainer with two best selling books and a TV series "It's Me or the Dog" (click here to watch an episode). Victoria's core reward-based training philosophy is “There’s a better way to train dogs – Positively.”

Victoria is a passionate advocate for positive reinforcement training methods that enhance a dog's ability to learn while increasing confidence. She opposes punitive, dominance-based training techniques.

Her two best selling books are also amongst petsonthenet's five best sellers at fishpond.co.nz

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