It's Me or the Dog is a fun, educational, "must-see" series for all dog owners! There are numerous ways to train dogs. In addition, each animal has his/her own learning style and preferred motivators. Victoria Stilwell endorses training methods which allow animals to work for things (e.g., food, play, affection) that motivate them rather than techniques that focus on using fear or pain to punish them for undesirable behaviors. She does not advocate methods of physical force that can harm your pet such as hanging dogs by their collars or hitting them. She also does not advocate the routine use of choke collars, pinch collars, shock collars, and other methods of physical punishment that can inhibit learning, increase fear, stimulate aggressive events, or be physically harmful to your dog. You will be able to safely try with your own pets everything she teaches the dog owners in this show. It's a great show for the whole family to sit down and laugh and learn together. I'm a veterinarian and I recommend this show to my clients all the time.
