Did anyone catch the latest ep of Me or the Dog? I just want to know if I heard Victoria right when she made the statement about high protein in a dog's diet can cause aggression problems. This sounds a little "far fetched", if you will, considering how many folk feed high quality food to their little ones. But, I don't want to disrespect her knowledge, either. I like her methods better than Cesar's. Any opinions or suggestions?

I did overhear that!! But I think the dog was getting Only Meats.... no veggies or anything else..... So, not a Balanced meal.

I like her a lot, but she has given nutrition advice that I do not agree with. I also don't like seeing trainers give medical advice (so many seem to). I'd just watch her for her training knowledge and ignore the rest.

I like her a lot too, but I don't like when she gives bits of hot dogs as treats.

I wonder if she subscribes to the notion that an all meat diet makes dogs "blood thirsty"? I found this study. I'm looking for more.
