About Me

I’m Victoria Swanson and I’ve had pets all my life. The unconditional love and acceptance that dogs give holds a special place in my heart. I’m a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and I have earned a certification through a dog training program. I’ve been training dogs since 1987, professionally since 2007 as “Good Little Dog,” as well as pet sitting since I was a young girl. I was also a frequent contributor on WZZM 13 Take Five & Company morning show in Grand Rapids, Michigan, providing invaluable information for pet parents.

At age 13, I trained our cockapoo, Pepper (who was 12 years old), with lots of treats and praises. Her great manners shown through for the rest of her years with us. Dogs live in the moment, and I’ve learned that dogs can be an important teacher to us. We just need to open our eyes to see the lessons. I believe all dogs should have the opportunity to let their manners shine through, and I can help you and your “good little dog” achieve that!

I live in Phoenix, Arizona with my adopted dog, Ava!
