About Victoria

Hi! I am Victoria ! I am excited to start sharing my experience as a dog trainer and pet owner with you, the good, the bad, the indifference! I have operated my own dog training business, Good Little Dog, since 2007. I am also a frequent contributor on WZZM13 Take Five & Company morning show providing invaluable information for pet owners. I have learned that dogs can be an important teacher to us and we just need to open our eyes to see the lesson they are teaching us. Dogs live in the moment, their needs are so minimal, yet what they give to us in return is so enormous. I was raised with pets all my life, but the unconditional love and acceptance that dogs give holds a special place in my heart! I currently live in the Grand Rapids area with my husband (Larry), our two children (Jake and Ahnna) and our wonderful furry family members which include; two cats, Casey and Oliver and our two dogs; Romeo (Pomeranian) and Izzy (Mini Dachshund). I am excited to share all sorts of different experiences that dogs bring into my life. So, please sit down, relax, and while enjoying that cup of java I hope you take pleasure in reading my blogs!
