Victoria Schade has been a dog trainer for over eleven years. During that time she has worked on television shows like Animal Planet's annual Puppy Bowl, The Puppy Games, and the Smithsonian Channel's special, "Animals Aloft."

She has been the featured trainer on the television show "Faithful Friends" for two seasons. Victoria created the puppy training DVD, "New Puppy! Now What?" to assist overwhelmed puppy owners, and wrote "Bonding with your Dog: A Trainer's Secrets for Building a Better Relationship" to help dogs and their people create a stronger connection.

Victoria's resident dog, Millie the Smooth Brussels Griffon, was recently joined by a very busy terrier mix puppy named Olive.
