Meet Victoria Schade
Victoria Schade has been a dog trainer and writer for over twenty years. During that time her dog duties have included working behind the scenes on Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl as the lead animal wrangler, appearing on two seasons of the Animal Planet show Faithful Friends, writing dog training content and appearing in educational videos for pet websites like Great Pet Care and PetMD, and writing two dog training books, Bonding With Your Dog and Secrets of a Dog Trainer in addition to her novels.
Victoria shares her 1850's always-in-need-of renovations home with Millie the Smooth Brussels Griffon (who wants you to know that she's not a skinny pug), Olive the mixed breed dog, the occasional foster pup, and her incredibly tolerant husband, Tom.
