From IT’S ME OR THE DOG on Animal Planet, a very wide-ranging conversation with superstar dog trainer Victoria Stilwell. She announces that the virtual Victoria Stilwell Academy 11th Annual Dog Behavior Conference is April 19-21 and discloses who some of the speakers are and what some of the topics are.

The hope is that San Francisco – working to ban shock collars – will succeed, and the same goes for her native UK. And she explains why she supports these bans.

This may be surprising, but Stilwell explains why she doesn’t approach strange dogs – that’s right, Victoria Stilwell doesn’t approach dogs she doesn’t know. Dog bites are going up.

A warning about Xylitol or Birch Sugar.
