I was very excited to watch a reality show based on Dogs. I thought the concept of a on call trainer coming to the rescue and helping owners solve their doggy issues to be very interesting.
The first few episodes where very entertaining, i sort of enjoyed a bit of Victoria's (the dog "trainer") bit picky like criticism. I've noticed that most her episodes had her using innuendos against a specific trainer, they never mentioned this persons name, but it was obvious that she was taking shots at someone. I'll get more to this later.
As the episodes went on, i just found the dog cases to be very weak. Sure, these dogs had behaviors that an average joe wouldn't know what to do, but it was like watching some random dog trainer on youtube getting called for help. I just found her methods on positive training to be something i would see at a pet store with puppies.
Anyway, i was so curious as to who Victoria was somewhat bashing and a friend of mine told me she was referencing a trainer named Cesar Millan. I never knew who this guy was, but i ended up watching his Dog whisperer show. Just 3 episodes, i thought this Cesar Millan was awesome. He dealt with real actual dog problems and used some Taichi like Philosophies on fixing these top problems. The most common/easiest case i saw Cesar solve was portrayed as a difficult case in Victoria Stillwells show.
I still watched Victor's "Is it me or the dog" and i was getting fed up as to how this Petco like trainer was insert Innuendos against Cesar Millan in all of her videos and even books. I than watched an episode in where she is called to help a dog named Benji. Benji was a cocker spaniel with food aggression problems. this lady (Victoria) who bashes Cesar's methods, just ran into a common Dog whisperer case and not only did her "positive methods" pose as ineffective but she ended up suggesting the dog to be put down (which sadly, the stupid owners did). LOL at her advocating/forcing "positive method" training, since when was killing a dog that just needed a behaviorist considered positive?
I stopped watching "It's me or the dog" after this because i thought she was full of herself and really had no knowledge of training dogs with real problems. She should just make videos on how to teach dogs to play fetch rather than bash cesar millan. He is a million times better than her.
