Training In-Home:
Victoria told me she wanted to teach us how to get Lola to practice SELF-control. She said that we could INSTANTLY get Lola to calm down and ask permission for what she wanted. I was skeptical because it sounded too easy and frankly, we’d tried so hard already I was doubtful anything would work. Sensing my reluctance and lack of trust, Victoria mailed us a signed guarantee that said: “I promised you that I can, and will, teach you some new and useful techniques for managing and training Lola. You will be the sole judge of whether or not my lesson has been beneficial to you. I guarantee your satisfaction and hope to win it during our lesson or I will not charge you.” I called Victoria the day I got the guarantee in the mail. ~ Michelle, Salem, OR

Training by Phone:
Hi Victoria. When Karalynn told me she found you on craigslist and wanted to take your dog training/behavior modification lesson over the phone, I thought she was out of her mind. I did NOT want to do it! I felt certain this would be another Internet scam. But, she assured me, if it didn’t work, we wouldn’t have to pay. I thought the training would be a joke, really. I honestly could not envision how you could possibly teach us on the phone how to train our dog. Well, I am happy to write a testimonial for you. I am so proud of Tank. ~ Geoff, Vancouver, WA

Training via my "Baby Steps" Training Manual:
When I first came across Tori and her training methods online, I was super worried that it wouldn't help my girl, Gracie. Knowing her and her behavior I thought “There's no way I'm going to be able to read this book and change both of our behaviors without an actual trainer here.” I'm happy to say that I have never been so wrong in my life! ~ Adam, Springfield, OR

My girl, Jetta (gone now) at the beach in Newport, OR.
Click on the "Raffle Signup" tab to enter my raffle for a free lesson! I can train you anywhere in the US. See my testimonials! |
Jetta was a crazy 3 year old when I got her. Jumped a baby gate at her breeder's house and landed on a 4-month-old puppy and broke his leg, dragged a friend of mine down some stairs on her back, hurting her elbow and when I first got her, slammed me in the face, giving me a black eye. She turned out to be a fabulous dog. She's gone now and I really miss her!

Is your kid making you crazy?
Jumping? Grabbing?
Barking too much?
Flipping you O-F-F?
I would LOVE to help you turn your "Little Devil" into an ANGEL.
Hello! I'm Victoria Rose.
I restructure how you communicate with,
relate to and LIVE with your dog.

I would LOVE to help you turn your "Little Devil" into an ANGEL.
Hello! I'm Victoria Rose.
I restructure how you communicate with,
relate to and LIVE with your dog.
I am a gentle, “hands-off” trainer, whose modern, reward-based dog training and behavior modification methods are similar to those used by Victoria Stilwell on Animal Planet’s “It’s Me or The Dog.”
(They are non-forceful; I do not bully, scare or manhandle dogs. In fact, in my lessons, I rarely even use a leash.) These methods build a dog’s confidence and maintain his spirit, enthusiasm and trust.
I say I am a dog trainer, but truthfully, I don’t really train dogs, I train people.

I say I am a dog trainer, but truthfully, I don’t really train dogs, I train people.
(It’s almost never the dog.)
While I do teach housetraining and crate training and how to address separation anxiety etc, most people need and want my main lesson:
I conduct in-home private dog training lessons in which I teach my students how to train dogs.
This means they can train their dog, and all the dogs they have after that. They will NEVER again have an untrained dog!
In my dog training course, I teach people how to live with their dogs properly, setting boundaries, having good communication and clear, harmonious relationships. I use positive, reward-based methods to teach puppies and dogs good manners, like respecting people’s personal space and calming themselves, looking to their owners for direction and exercising self-control, even in exciting situations. (This is not dog training. It is dog behavior modification.)
Then I teach the owners how to be the leaders. Forget the old-fashioned concept about being the “alpha” and forcing the dog to be “submissive.” It’s all about leadership, a quiet nurturing strength.
I also teach students about management. You must manage a dog until he is trained. Without proper management, you cannot be consistent, which is absolutely vital to effect change.
And I cover exercise, the most-neglected need dogs have. Dogs need to run! It’s hard to train a dog who is not exercised and it’s hard to (properly) exercise a dog who is not trained. I have 18 ideas on how to run a dog who cannot be trusted off leash.
Finally, I teach my students HOW DOGS LEARN.
I do not teach them or their dogs any “mechanical” behaviors. Regardless, at the end of the lesson, I ask my students: “Do you now know how to teach your dog heel, sit, down, stay, come, wait, look at me and go to bed?” They ALWAYS say "yes."
This lesson is HUGE.
You cannot learn all of this in a group class, nor can you (or your dog) focus in a group setting like you can privately, and in your own home.
Teach in the house where it's easier -
then go PRACTICE outside where it's harder.
Baby Steps! (Always and for everything.)
then go PRACTICE outside where it's harder.
Baby Steps! (Always and for everything.)
When you have a calm dog looking for direction, and you are the leader, and you properly exercise and manage him and you implement principles and techniques to help him learn… it all falls into place. You have a polite dog seeking your direction and you can teach him almost anything you want.
Some students’ dogs have issues not specifically covered in this lesson, and they MAY (or may not) need some extra help.
My lesson, which settles dogs, builds their confidence and strengthens their relationships with their owners, is a MUST before attempting behavior modification for aggression (dog-to-dog aggression or aggression toward humans or other animals), separation anxiety (or generalized anxiety), or fearfulness and is a vital tool for puppy crate training and housetraining puppies and older dogs.
It also addresses (and usually cures) common problems like barking, digging, chewing, jumping, terrorizing the cat, going crazy with guests, charging out doors, and just being plain ‘ol pushy and demanding.
If your dog runs the show in your home, we can change that almost overnight!

Calm attention means, "I want more!" Jetta is “asking” for more food in her “Tricky Treats” ball.
We teach dogs to calm themselves and ask permission for what they want.

Holy Cow, Victoria! What spell did you cast on Josie? We have a totally different dog living with us now. You were here Wednesday night and Thursday everything was different. Josie is so attentive and amazingly calm. ~ Jayare, Salem, OR

Glacier is doing great! He is like a different little dog now. He knows how to sit and stay and lie down and heel, and sometimes come – we’re working on that one! I think what is most important is that we are communicating well with each other. Glacier also (most of the time) responds to “quiet” when he is barking. He used to jump up on me and on the counter and bark. What a delightful change! ~ Patty, Salem, OR

The best place to train your dog is in a quiet, familiar environment (your home)!
Later, with some training under his collar, work with him (using what I teach you) in more stimulating environments, like out in public or when you have guests.
I come to your Northern Oregon or Southern Washington home for about 3 hours, where you and I teach your dog to calm himself, even in exciting situations, then you and I finish by phone for about an hour one day and an hour to an hour and a half a second day, where I teach you the academic stuff.
This lesson is HUGE (a student once commented that "You get a lot of bank for your buck") and you are done in THREE DAYS!

Hi Victoria. Thank you so much for our phone consultation. I can’t tell you how happy I am! I tried techniques I learned on the Cesar Millan Dog Whisperer show and they did not work for my rat terrier, Hanna, and her aggression toward dogs in public. When Hanna would be on leash during a walk, she was aggressive toward any other dog that came near her. She would growl, pull on the leash and bark at the other dog. It was a struggle for both of us andembarrassing for me. I am so excited I found you because your philosophy and methods make sense and Hanna made dramatic improvements in her long-standing aggression within 2 days of our lesson! ~ Debbie, Beaverton, OR

Victoria is amazing!!! I have to admit I was in disbelief when a friend referred me to her. Who ever heard of dog training over the telephone?! But after working with Victoria, I am a true believer and am so thankful! ~ Debra, Los Angeles, CA (Mom of Roxy, 8 weeks old)

Sounds crazy, I know… but I have done it for years with students from Seattle to Los Angeles, and Connecticut to Florida and even Hawaii. Remember… you and your dog can do it or don’t pay! (This has happened only twice.)
This is the same exact lesson, and again, done in your home (the BEST place to train your dog). It is the same time commitment as above but with a lot more flexibility. This is great for students who live too far away for me to go to their homes. It’s also great for dogs who are aggressive with, or fearful of, strangers. (Never stress out your dog.) Dogs cannot calm themselves and learn when they are stressed out or scared. (Can you?) I work with these dogs by phone so they are relaxed. We will work together by phone (and Skype if necessary) for 5-6 days. |
Buster did my lesson by phone.
Mom Debbie says, "I am still amazed at how easy it was! Buster was only 8 weeks old. Victoria's extreme confidence and excellent coaching ability made the lessons easy to understand and go very smoothly. It's a joy to have such a calm and willing puppy." |
This lesson is HUGE and you are done in LESS THAN A WEEK! (Or longer if you choose a slower pace.)

I am absolutely astonished. Lulu is no longer face bopping my kids and being all around rude with them. She stays calm when we move around and even when the kids are running and playing! She hasn’t gone into the kitchen to sneak food for gosh…a week or more! In fact, yesterday afternoon I took a shower and didn’t put her in her crate like I used to have to. I wanted to see what she would do. Well, when I got out I found her laying right outside the door! How awesome is that?! ~ Katie, College Place, WA

I can’t tell you how much I value the lesson. It isn’t even a toolbox. It’s like 10 toolboxes. It's just awesome. So clear. All the details, so well written, step-by-step. ~ Catherine, Seattle, WA

"Baby Steps" is not just a dog training book! It is my Step-by-Step guide, walking you through my lesson WHILE YOU WORK WITH YOUR DOG.
It's as simple as following
a recipe while cooking. It comes with all the free help you need...
AND a money-back guarantee. It's the same lesson as above, and again, done in your home (of course), the best place to train your dog. The manual (which you return to me after the lesson), enables you to save money by working on your own. Most students can do the whole lesson in an hour a day for 8-9 days. I will be on standby to coach you by phone or Skype if you need help. I will give you UNLIMITED “tech support” if you don’t understand my manual's instructions, or have trouble performing the tasks I’ve outlined, or if your dog isn’t performing properly. |
Step-by-step...
Like reading a recipe while cooking. |
Very few students ever call me for help. I am a writer and former newspaper reporter (including two years as a stringer for San Jose Mercury News), and students say the manual is very well-written, simple, understandable and easy to follow.
If I can’t help you by phone or Skype, and you live close enough, I will come to your home and help you for free. (I’ve had to do that twice.)
If all this fails... I will refund your money, plus any mailing fees. (This has happened only once.) It won’t cost you a penny and you will have learned a lot in the process!
Remember: This lesson is HUGE and you are done in TWO WEEKS OR LESS!
