Canine expert Victoria Stilwell shows readers how to train their dogs out of even the most difficult and persistent bad behaviors. It's Supernanny for your dog
Victoria Stilwell is one of the world's most recognized and respected dog trainers. As the host of Britain's hit television series It's Me or the Dog and the founder of training schools on both sides of the Atlantic, she is known as much for her spunky attitude as for her caring, effective methods. Now, in her first book, Victoria shows how to tame even the most problematic dog. Simple, intuitive instructions and color photographs 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. Topics 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
Victoria Stilwell is an actress-turned-dog-trainer who has founded training schools in New York, New Jersey, and Britain. She stars in the U.K.'s Channel 4 television series It's Me or the Dog. Since 1999, Victoria has lived in the United States, and is now based in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

It's Me or the Dog
I wish that I had this book when we first got Seamus because I hadn't been around many dogs and had no idea what he was communicating to me. Victoria explains a lot about what different body language and vocalizations mean in "dog speak". This is not to say that this book is only for new dog owners. We have had our beagle Seamus for 3 years now, and I still found many of the sections to be very valuable. Especially the "think dog" "talk dog" and the sections on training and behavior. There is also a nice section on bringing a acclimating your dog when you bring a new baby home and dogs and kids that will be helpful when that time comes.
What I like most about this book and Stilwell's show is that the things she says are sensible and easy to understand. She uses positive training, but still recognizes that a vocal correction (not to be confused with yelling, this is still a no no) can be useful. I plan to use the training section to work with Seamus on those things that he didn't quite get when he was in obedience school. I already tried her method of teaching "leave it" from seeing the show and it worked far better than what we learned at PetSmart.
I also appreciated that she was not a huge fan of the crate being used for long periods of confinement. She does outline how to use the crate during house training. However she recognizes that for some dogs, crate training is just not a fit. As the owner of one of these dogs, it is very nice to read something that confirms that not all dogs take to the crate.
I definitely recommend this book for any dog owner or for anyone who is thinking of getting a dog.
