Victoria Stilwell's Stops by BlogTails

File this under: Cool News.

Our resident blogger, LillyKat (who also writes for the independent television blog, Pass the Remote), landed an exclusive interview with the lovely Victoria Stilwell, world-class dog trainer and host of Animal Planet's It's Me or the Dog.

It's all about thinking dog and training through positive reinforcement with Victoria, and while we'll have a more in depth write-up to post here next week (including talk of Victoria's forthcoming foundation called the Think Dog Foundation), we've got what we'll call our BlogTails Quicktakes to tide us over for the weekend:

BlogTails Quicktakes with Victoria Stilwell:

I'm most comfortable when I'm ...

"Sitting down, watching a movie at home."

The best part of my day is when I'm ...

"Reading my daughter a bedtime story."

If I weren't a dog trainer, I'd be ...

"An actress."

The best piece of advice ever given to me was ... and he/said ...

"My grandmother. Because I broke a lamp in her house and didn't own up to it, she always told me: 'Don't lie.' Always tell the truth. It's much better in the long run."

The oldest thing in my closet is ... and I keep it because ...

"My school tie. It reminds me of when I went to a very strict girl's school, and we wore ties. It reminds me of that - and makes me laugh."

Last time I laughed so hard I cried was when ...

"I was watching Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm"

If it came down to Captain Jack Sparrow or Will Turner, I'd sail the seas with ...

"Captain Jack Sparrow."
