Product Description

Accompanying the hit TV series, Victoria Stilwell provides her successful programme for perfect dog training. Do they ignore every word you say? Have they started coming in at all hours? Are they wrecking your home? No, it's not the nation's teenagers -- it's our pets. Nearly five million homes in the UK own a dog -- but who really calls the shots? With bad behaviour rife, it's time to put the pets in their place -- move over power nannies and parenting, this is Supernanny for pets. The Channel 4 series It's Me or the Dog has established expert dog trainer Victoria Stilwell as a major TV talent. Her accompanying book offers a superb, practical manual for pet owners -- whether faced with training a new puppy or with correcting the bad habits of an existing pet. Seeing the world from the dog's point of view is key and at the heart of Victoria's highly successful philosophy. She explains how dogs learn and provides a timed, structured programme for both puppies and older dogs, plus a wealth of problem-solving advice -- from how to handle persistent barking to dealing with car journeys and interaction with children. Absolutely packed with info on everything from dog talk to diet, It's Me or the Dog is the must-have manual for every dog owner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book before your puppy arrives!, 26 Sep 2006
By S. Gough (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a fantastic book! I was thoroughly engrossed for about 3 days while I read it from cover to cover (and still tried to cook, iron and clean in between) and was so glad I had all the information to hand before our mad puppy arrived!

My husband and I had decided the time was right to bring a puppy into our family now that our children were getting older (8 and 10) and could hopefully show some responsibility. (Plus the fact that my youngest was sending me daily emails begging for a puppy!!!) We chose a West Highland Terrier (and named him Wellington) and arranged to pick him up a couple of weeks later. Having been really impressed with Victoria Stilwell's "It's me or the dog" TV series, I decided to see if her book could help us with our new addition.

Within a week or so of arriving with us our new puppy was sitting, laying down, rolling over and staying on command. Ms Stilwell's training tips are easy to follow by owners and dogs alike!

We also knew what food to feed him, especially since Westies are prone to skin conditions and these can be exacerbated by pet foods with a high cereal content (all this information was gleaned from this fab book!) It gives you the pros and cons on wet and dry dog foods and also tells you the products you should never feed your dog.

The housetraining information is straight forward and three weeks after arriving with us, Wellington is now only having the odd accident.

Victoria Stilwell's book is set out so that you can flick back through to review what she suggests on certain subjects and is therefore very easy to use.

I recommend you definitely read this book before your new puppy arrives. I do however agree with a previous reviewer who found that it did not contain as much information about older dogs with problem behaviour. I think the information in this publication is geared more to people with new puppies.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic book worth reading, 21 Feb 2006
After pruchasing an 8 week old springer spaniel bitch, we were very interested in learning how to train and understand our puppy. We had her a month and tried basic training our selves with some success. However toilet training and obedience was becomming a little difficult. If you've watched the series you will appreceiate how wonderful this lady is at understanding and training dogs. On this basis we bought the book and i was blown away with how much i didnt know or understand about my puppy ! now after one week of reading the book, my bella sits, gives both paws, lies down, stays, fetch's toys and is understanding her toilet needs with peeing out side a lot better but this is still needing improvment ! but i understand this takes a while anyway.. I would definately recommend this book if your keen to reassure your self that your puppy or dog understands you and you understand them..

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 4 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I have 2 18 month old small cross breed dogs. They are lovely but they came from a rescue home and needed a bit of training.

Having tried various books I came across this one and after watching the TV programme decided to give it a try.

It is fantastic. It tells you all about why dogs to what they do, how to train them and also goes into what to feed them which was really helpful as I found out not all brands of dog food were necessarily good for your dog.

If you are trying to train a dog or have a dog and just want to know how he "ticks" get this book!!! Every dog owner should have one!
