Product Description
The new tie-in from ‘It’s Me or the Dog’, on the hottest canine subject of the day.
'You are what you eat' is as true for dogs as it is for humans. There'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. Here top trainer and It's Me or the Dog presenter Victoria Stilwell 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.
Includes:
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: behavioural 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.

You gotta Love Mss. Victoria
12 Oct 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love her training methods I love her watching show its me or the dogs,i learn something new with each eposode. So when I saw her books I had to have them. Her books are great even this one But i must tell you if you have her 1st book you will n ot need this one since they mirror each other ( you don"t get anything different) the difference is you get less from this book. this is the only reason why i am giving it 3 stars. (I was hoping for a little bit more one on one about excires and diet plans for my dog)

I love this book! It provides clear and succinct information on raising a healthy,
happy dog. In typical Victoria Stilwell fashion,the book is straighforward, easy
to understand and makes good sense. It's a hit!

I also have Victoria's other book "It's Me or the Dog" which is an excellent book, but does not discuss obesity in dogs. Since I have a 4 1/2 year old Pomeranian who is overweight at 9 lbs., I wanted some advice on how to attain her ideal weight and then maintain it. This book does exactly that. It explains the reasons for obesity and how to feed your dog not only to attain their perfect weight, but also control their weight. There are a lot of good suggestions and also tips on exercise for your dog both indoors and outdoors. I watch Victoria's show and therefore am a fan of hers. But, I think this book is an excellent source of information for anyone interested in keeping their dog at a healthy weight and fit and trim for life.
