No, I leave the music up to the production company. Do you like it?

I teach people to train their own service dogs as part of my job. I was so happy for the little dog when she almost completed a retrieve at the end of the show that I said "Yes! good dog!" and all of my dogs came rushing into the room hoping that we would train. It was so funny! Fiona was...

Victoria was Fiona's issues due to only lack of exercise and being crated too long during the day? My mom HATED when I used a crate for my dogs she seems to think it's inhumane, I only left my 2nd Shepherd Lexy in for a max 2 hours during the day and slept there over night, how can I get my mom to ...

I know that your gonna be wearing black in the new episodes, but i was wondering if you get to choose the clothes you wear on the show. I was also wondering if you got to control what the narrator says. As for the narrator, I do give my input there. Regarding the clothes, my wardrobe has been the t...

That whole crate situation literally turned my stomach! You make it look so easy on the show as far as teaching behaviors and what not, but my little guy is a terrorist, no exaggeration, he is a terrorist and I can't seem to get him under control! Is it just a Chihuahua thing? Sounds like you're ha...

Now that Fiona is a better dog, do you think they should get another dog? I personally don't like the idea of one dog families. I think it's kinda sad for the dog. But this situation seems to be a bit unique. Have you heard from this family recently? Has Fiona learned any new tricks or behaviors? N...

Is it possible to donate money to The Victoria Stilwell Foundation? Not yet, but soon. Information on how to donate to the Foundation will be available shortly, and that info will be posted here among other places. You can also find out when it goes live by subscribing to the newsletter here: http:...

1. Was Carly the dog in the Milkbone commercial? Yes, Carly is the Milkbone canine assistance dog in the commercials. It was lovely to see her working - she's a clever dog. 2. Are you going to talk about positively.com or the Victoria Stilwell Foundation on your show? I'm not sure. If there's an op...

Florence & Fiona is one of my favorite episode. I'm hoping that this episode will appear on On Demand (Comcast) because I would like to see it again.

Thanks, Tammy. Comcast has been including several recent episodes in their On Demand section, so be sure to look for it.

My question is, would the 'leave it' training help her learn self control even when we are gone? The leave it command will not work when you're away, as you won't be there to issue the command. We have to figure out why he's doing it first. Is it anxiety, is he bored, or does he just love doing it?...

This was a very touching show. Made me smile that Florence fell for Fiona. Florence seemed like a really neat lady! I agree. Seeing the transformation that happened with Florence was a thing of beauty to watch. It's one thing to see the dogs on the show progress, but to see an elderly woman who pre...

Hello everyone! Hope you're having a good Monday. I'm here to chat about last weekend's episode of It's Me or the Dog - Florence and Fiona. Fiona was one of my favorite dogs to work with, as were Jessica, Florence and Todd. Lovely folks.

Let's get to your questions - fire away!

Thanks to everyone for participating tonight - great questions and a lot of fun. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you here next week!

Hello Victoria! I have three rescue dogs and our family loves you and your great advice. I have two large hound mixes and a golden retriever and we are expecting our first baby in October. Watching this episode was extremely helpful for us because we are finding ourselves in the same situation: 3 d...

Do you think the same techniques you used for the dogs aggression on the bed would work for my dogs when I walk them? My female has become very dominant and goes after my two males when we are walking them. All I did with the dogs on the bed was teach them to get off. Sounds like you'll need to use...
