Doritos Shock Collar Superbowl Commercial
They just showed a great Doritos Superbowl commercial where a guy offered a dog wearing a bark shock collar a Dorito if he would speak. What a jerk! So the dog took off his own shock collar, placed it on the man, then proceeded to bark, thereby shocking the man, and eat all of his [...]
Animal Planet – Pit Boss – Shorty Rossi
Every time Animal Planet comes out with a new show about dogs, I watch and hope that it will be a show that provides people with some valuable truths about dogs and information people can actually use. Unfortunately, Animal Planet concentrates much more on ridiculous entertainment than on the actual animals. I watched the premier [...]
It’s Me or the Dog – Great Dane Devotion
In this episode Victoria Stilwell helps a couple who have three great Danes. I actually really liked this episode. The couple were willing to do some work and Victoria was actually solving problems. One thing bugs me, and that’s that although Victoria doesn’t train like Cesar Millan, she’s started talking like him. This has been [...]
It’s Me or the Dog – House of Horror
I couldn’t decide whether I should write about this episode or not. It’s not a very good episode. I decided to write about it because it shows the bad side of reality TV and how even good shows can quickly go to the dark side. Advice shows can be an interesting and fun way to [...]
It’s Me or the Dog – Nervous Newlyweds
It’s Me or the Dog has started up again. I was pleased to see that this episode featured six dachshunds (and three other dogs). One of the dachshunds, Oscar, was displaying classic dachshund “aggression”. After working with Kody so much, when I watch dog training TV my nonsense detectors are on high. I like Victoria [...]
Michael Vick on 60 Minutes, My Opinion
I haven’t said anything about this story this week because I was, and in some ways still am confused about exactly what to say. But the 60 Minutes appearance helped clear things up. I felt Michael was in fact just trying to say the right things in his 60 Minutes interview. While I believe he [...]
Victoria Stilwell Nitpicks: Dog Training Commands
I love Victoria Stillwell, and compared to Cesar Millan she’s awesome. Even if you love Cesar Millan, which many of my readers do, you can see that nobody’s going to learn to accidentally hurt their dog from Victoria. However, there are a couple of minor things she doesn’t do that I think are important. First, [...]
It’s Me or the Dog: Pit Bull Predicament
On the latest episode of It’s Me or the Dog Victoria Stilwell helps Victor Wertz, a human dad with two pit bulls who are wrecking his home and just generally untrained. The Good Victor takes Victoria on a walk and the pit bulls are pulling like crazy. She asks how he is walking these dogs [...]
It’s Me or the Dog – Peanut Butter
I love Victoria Stillwell’s show It’s Me or the Dog. The most recent show was about a dog named Peanut Butter that came into a family with a lot of other dogs and cats. Peanut Butter was very high energy and wasn’t trained. Victoria basically worked with the owners to walk her and give her [...]
