An Outrage in Belfast: The Sad Case of Lennox, the Dog

May 10, 2012

HuffPost Impact released a story today regarding Lennox, the dog being held in Belfast, Ireland – that features Victoria. Here is an excerpt:

Outrage sums up the reaction of Victoria Stilwell, celebrity dog trainer and host of the program “It’s Me or the Dog,” with whom I spoke earlier this year. Stilwell has been outspoken in her support for Lennox, devoting a number of articles and a podcast to it, and against breed specific legislation in general (which she sums up as “addressing the wrong end of the leash”). Stilwell has studied the video assessments of Lennox and reviewed Sarah Fisher’s report, and simply can’t believe the judge would have taken the word of Tallack – who is, by his own admission, not a behaviorist – over the the opinions of two highly regarded professionals.

Concurring with Stilwell is Jim Crosby, a dog trainer and expert in canine aggression. By his account, he has personally assessed more dogs involved in fatal attacks than anyone else on the planet. He stresses that breed is most certainly not a factor in determining whether a dog is dangerous or not; it is the individual characteristics of a dog. This is a man who knows aggressive animals, and he cries foul in the Lennox case. “This poor dog didn’t do anything, he was minding his own business, happily at home,” he said in a January conversation. “That’s the baffling thing.”…

It’s Me or the Dog Returns to Animal Planet! (UPDATE)

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 03:00:00 -0700

Starting Saturday, April 28th, at 10am E/P – “It’s Me or the Dog” is returning to Animal Planet!

Animal Planet took the show off for quite some time, but they’re bringing it back – beginning with some repeats of last season – to gear up for Season 4, which will start this Summer (around June)!

This Saturday’s episode is a repeat of “Six Chihuahuas Under” in which Victoria faces a herd of spoiled Chihuahuas and a harried dog owner, who desperately needs to repair the strained relationship with her alienated children.

FOR SOME REASON ANIMAL PLANET DECIDED TO AIR ANOTHER EPISODE OF “DOGS 101” IN THE PLACE WHERE THEY ADVERTISED “IT’S ME OR THE DOG” YESTERDAY. SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION - PERHAPS ANIMAL PLANET WILL STICK TO THEIR SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK. WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.
