Victoria Stilwell

Born and raised in Wimbledon, England, Victoria Stilwell is one of the world’s most recognized and respected dog trainers.

She is best known for her role as the star of Animal Planet’s hit TV series It’s Me or the Dog, through which she is able to share her insight and passion for positive reinforcement dog training and as a judge on CBS’s Greatest American Dog. By reaching audiences in over 40 countries, Stilwell helps counsel families on their pet problems.

She is a passionate advocate for science-based, positive reinforcement training methods that enhance a dog’s ability to learn while increasing confidence, resulting in a healthy, well-adjusted pet. She is a vocal opponent of punitive, dominance-based training techniques which she says often result in quick fixes but ultimately cause more long-term harm than good while damaging the owner-dog relationship.

Her two best-selling books, It’s Me or the Dog: How to Have the Perfect Pet and Fat Dog Slim: How to Have a Healthy, Happy Pet, have been widely praised, and they detail her core reward-based training philosophy: “There’s a better way to train – Positively.”

In 2009, Stilwell created the Victoria Stilwell Foundation, whose mission is “to provide financial support and canine behavior expertise to assistance dog organizations and small animal rescue shelters while promoting the concept of reward-based, positive reinforcement dog training philosophies in organizations and households throughout the United States.”

Victoria currently resides in Atlanta with her husband, daughter and Chocolate Lab, Sadie.

Victoria Stilwell

Victoria Stilwell (Wimbledon, 1969) è una addestratrice e scrittrice inglese.

Addestra cani di ogni razza ed età e la filosofia di addestramento che usa si basa sulla ricompensa e la comunicazione con il proprio cane e condivide questa sua disciplina in un programma televisivo intitolato Basta! Io o il cane in onda sul canale satellitare del gruppo Discovery Networks Europe, Animal Planet.

È inoltre uno dei guidici del programma televisivo Greatest American Dog che va in onda sul canale americano CBS.

All’inizio degli anni novanta Victoria comincia come addestratrice di cani da compagnia. Grazie alla sua straordinaria capacità di successo in questo lavoro, comincia a focalizzare la sua attenzione nella formazione di cani da lavoro con alcuni dei più famosi e autorevoli addestratori britannici. Si trasferisce in America con suo marito Van Zeiler e con lui da vita a diverse società di formazione per cani nella costa orientale, diventando uno dei più ricercati addestratori. Una delle peculiarità del suo lavoro è la riabilitazione del comportamento e per questo organizza seminari per la formazione in varie città come New York e Atlanta. In questi seminari Victoria insegna ai possessori di cani ad utilizzare metodi di formazione positiva per il cane, consentendo all’animale di imparare ed aumentare la fiducia verso i padroni, contrariamente a quello che succede con un addestramento in cui si usa la forza.


Victoria Stilwell collabora con i gruppi di soccorso e di adozione canina di tutto il mondo tra cui la Paws Atlanta, la Stray From The Heart (New York), la Hong Kong Dog Rescue e la Greyhound Rescue of West England. Collabora e sostiene la Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project, un’organizzazione che si occupa di incrementare la consapevolezza sulla crudeltà dell’allevamento dei cani a puro scopo di lucro. Ha inoltre lavorato come volontario per la ASPCA: The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Associazione Americana per la prevenzione della crudeltà sugli animali). Oltre a queste esperienze, Victoria appare in numerosi talk-show come esperta addestratrice.
