We are immensely proud to announce that world leading dog training expert, TV celebrity and author Victoria Stilwell has kindly accepted the role of Global Ambassador for Soi Dog Foundation.

She will also be an adviser to the newly formed International Board of Soi Dog Foundation.

Victoria is best known for her starring role in Animal Planet’s hit TV series It’s Me Or The Dog, which reaches audiences in 100 countries. The series began in 2005 and has since topped 100 episodes.

She said, “Soi Dog is an incredible organization whose people have always impressed me with their dedication to helping animals and communities in some of the hardest environments.”

“They work tirelessly to save dogs’and cats’ lives, educate the public about responsible pet ownership and fight against the horrendous Dog Meat Trade.”

“I’m proud to serve as their Global Ambassador.”

Victoria has written three best-selling books on training dogs using her positive techniques – rewards rather than punishment; is editor of Positively.Com, which includes contributors from among the world’s leading veterinary behaviorists, dog trainers and behavioral scientists; and has been featured in US publications such as The New York Times, USA Today, Cosmopolitan, Time.com, Oprah Magazine, Everyday with Rachael Ray, MSNBC.com, Self magazine, Shape magazine, and in the UK The Daily Mail, the Sunday Times and The Sun.

Born in Wimbledon, near London, she now lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, their daughter and two rescue dogs, Sadie and Jasmine.

Soi Dog co-founder John Dalley said, “It’s absolutely wonderful to have Victoria as our Global Ambassador. She is recognised in many countries as the No 1 authority on training dogs and as a true friend to the canine species.”

“She is massively busy so we are very grateful that she is ready to allot some of her precious time to helping us. We look forward to working with her closely, and to seeing international awareness of Soi Dog growing further through her efforts.”

Soi Dog UK President Donna Freelove commented, “Having worked with Victoria in the U.K. and seeing her passion and commitment to helping animals in need we are all extremely proud and honoured that she has accepted this role.”

Soi Dog Foundation has drawn to its cause a variety of other active celebrity supporters, including singer-songwriter Gary Numan and his wife Gemma Webb; singer-songwriter-actor Will Young; comedian Ricky Gervais; actors Dame Judi Dench, Joanna Lumley, Peter Egan, Penelope Wilton, Laura Carmichael and Richie Kul.
