Victoria Stilwell returns to Animal Planet in January to host a second season of the popular dog training show, It’s Me or the Dog. Victoria visits the homes of families who are on the verge of a breakdown due to their unruly and obstinate dogs.
Full of British charm and an unmistakable accent, Victoria grew up in England where she worked in the entertainment industry before creating a dog walking company. Eventually, her love of dogs and acting merged into the successful It’s Me or the Dog reality television series.

With season one already aired, It’s Me or the Dog quickly became a hit with television viewers. The second season will premiere January 2, 2010 at 9 PM EST/PST and will deliver on its promise to help families overcome challenging pets.
This series follows Victoria as she tries to restore harmony in homes from Atlanta to Los Angeles, where pets are running riot and the family is in the dog house. Through observation, interviews, filming with a ‘pet cam' and reviewing footage of the family on their own with their dog, Victoria uses her more than 20 years of experience to assemble the evidence and diagnose the problem, offering both pet and owner the chance to change the bad habits of a lifetime.
