Jessie & Jess: Navigating The Food Industry - Current Drama & Best Practice
You might have spotted the current drama surrounding Years Food following reports of sudden dry eye in dogs and the subsequent recall of its fresh meals. But what do we actually know so far, and is buckwheat itself really the problem?
We jumped on a podcast to talk all things nutrition: how to deal with the overwhelm of where to start, some simple lessons to take away, and what Jess feeds across a week for her pile of dogs.
This is a BIG topic, so let us know what else you'd like to see us cover!

Jess & Jessie: What Is Honest Hounds?

Jess and Jessie are on the podcast! They're kicking off a new mini-series taking you behind the scenes at Honest Hounds, who we are as a team, what we stand for, and the thinking behind everything we do. In this first episode, they sit down together to answer the biggest question of all: what is Honest Hounds, really? Expect much chat, some insight into our recent Board and Train dogs and us breaking down what underpins the community we created.

Lucy, Poppy & Bailey - When House Guests Become Impossible

In this episode, we sit down with Lucy to talk about the reality of living with a Romanian rescue who is terrified of visitors. We discuss the unique challenges of bringing home a young dog with zero life exposure, the pressure often placed on owners by rescue organisations, and what happens when your dog's behaviour starts to dictate who can step through your front door.

Lucy shares her journey of navigating the rescue world, paying it forward by gaining her own experience, and how the struggles she faced with her dogs ultimately inspired her to change careers and become a dog trainer herself.

If you are currently feeling trapped in your own home, unable to have guests over, this episode dives into exactly how hard that reality can be. But more importantly, it shows that with the right support and understanding, you can move beyond it to get your life back, for both you and your dog.

Emma & Rocky - The Reality of a Reactive Staffy

In this episode, we are joined by Emma to talk about her incredible journey with Rocky, a Staffy she rescued at just six months old.

Like so many owners, Emma was misrepresented by the rescue about Rocky's history and behavioural needs. Very quickly, what should have been an exciting new chapter turned into a deeply isolating experience. Rocky developed extreme dog reactivity, the walks became stressful, the lead had to stay firmly clipped on, and Emma’s world began to shrink as she actively avoided other dogs just to survive the day.

We dive into the emotional toll of feeling stuck with a reactive dog, the reality of navigating the rescue system, and the breaking point that finally pushed them to seek a different kind of help.

Emma shares how attending an Honest Hounds Reactivity Retreat, followed by a Board and Train stay with Jessie, became the start of a total transformation. If your world currently feels small because of your dog's reactivity, this episode is the ultimate reminder that real, lasting change is absolutely possible.

Ellie & Cooper - From Breeding Male to Getting a Brother!

When your dog develops intense dog reactivity, it can be hard to know where to turn. There are mixed messages everywhere, and suddenly you’re left questioning everything, from whether you should neuter, to how you should socialise them, and whether things will ever get better.

Ellie found her path with Honest Hounds, diving into a retreat and making the most of the support, guidance, and resources around her. It wasn’t an easy journey, but her dedication and determination have paid off.

Today, Cooper is a model citizen, and they’ve recently welcomed another male dog into the family. A reminder that with the right support, consistency, and commitment, what once feels unthinkable can become possible.

Brigid & Corvo - Helping You & Your Dog Recover From an Accident

This episode is a hard listen, but it’s also a fascinating tale of an owner who never gave up im advocating for their dog. For Brigid the worst accident happened during a BBQ and the next steps were messy and chaotic. Let down by various professionals she had to keep going to find a way through for her and Corvo. This is a great listen for anyone whose dog has suffered an injury, who has struggled with a slow recovery and meeting their dog’s needs when they can’t do much at all.

Sam & Ruby - ‘My Dog Changed Overnight’

Sometimes it feels like behaviour comes out of the blue, and when we aren’t sure how to deal with it, it can feel so overwhelming. This was the case for Sam when her Wirehaired Viz/Lab mix started acting totally differently. In this episode, we dive into the backstory, the why, and how having the right education and support empowered Sam to get back on track to a place they could enjoy life and adventures together, and now they’re giving back to others!

Based in America, Amy was feeling overwhelmed bringing home a rescue dog. What they thought was just a dog who needed a new environment turned into increasing reactivity, confusion and a limit on even being able to walk out of their front door. Local trainers didn’t help so they turned to Honest Hounds and that’s where everything changed. This is a story of the most dedicated owner, turning up and changing her own life as well as her dogs to ensure they can both take leaps forward in the right direction.

Wanting to get everything right, Zara turned to obedience and control with her Vizlsa, Jeff. There were wins along the way but everything felt really serious and along the way they they lost what truly matters - partnership and fun! This is a tale of resetting and reframing the journey, getting back to what's important and doing it with a curious mindset which paved the way for an exciting career change and a chance to truly enjoy the journey!

Megan, Lucy, Hollie & Nessie - Finding the Support You Need

Bringing two adolescent dogs into one home would challenge anyone. Bringing home two Collies pushed things even further for Megan & Lucy.

In this episode, we follow the journey of Hollie & Nessie as they navigate fear and reactivity. With support from the Honest Hounds community, their world begins to open up, confidence grows, and shared walks and hikes become possible again.

We explore what it looks like to support each other as humans, not just manage the dogs, and how small, thoughtful changes in the home can set everyone up to succeed.

If you have ever felt the pressure of managing multiple dogs or struggled with the dynamics in your household, this is a conversation worth listening to.

Aimee, Ivy & Fred - When The Rescue Narrative Holds You Back

After raising their puppy in the right way, Aimee and Dan brought Ivy into their life. Covered in scars and regularly trying to pin dogs, they were all feeling overwhelmed but they were stuck in the emotional story and not able to move forward. Taking the leap to join a workshop changed everything and this story is such a powerful example of how our own human emotions can hold us back until we give ourselves the power to let go and make real change.

Laura & Louie - From Panic To Problem Solving

Laura did all the research before she got her Daxie, Louie, but she still was not prepared for the stress struggles and separation anxiety. They had a tough start, but once she found Honest Hounds, everything started to make sense and they are an amazing example of how knowledge can empower you to make real change no matter what is thrown at you. If you’ve felt unsure about what’s next, this is one for you!

Leah & Obi - Trainers Need Support Too

We are growing a community of trainers who work in collaboration and we all need a little extra support sometimes. Leah from @turnerandpooch’s tale is one of overcoming challenges that started from day one, navigating a spicy dog and children and staying on track even when things feel overwhelming. This is an inspiring lesson we think you’re going to take a lot from and we hope you enjoy it!

Izzy, Nicky & Scout - Just a Girl Who Loves to Love

This one was a deep and meaningful chat that had us laughing, almost crying and diving deep into a tale of love, resilience and a journey to thrive with the most fun, fizzy girl. This is for anyone who’s ever struggled, got lost along the way or who wants to find out how to work WITH their dog to find a way back to the fun times.

Miles, James & Rocky - Navigating Life With An Injured Collie.

This is such an insightful listen for anyone who has had medical challenges or injuries with their dog and has still had to balance having a drivey, working breed.

Rocky is a Collie who has a zest for life and doing things but when he was injured by an off-lead dog at a young age they had a really challenging journey which led to medical and behavioural challenges that they had never planned for.

This is a tale of prioritising mental and physical health in humans, and dogs, to ensure that everyone in the household can thrive!

We also talked about differences in genders in the dog training world, why flyball is an awesome sport and how you have to look after yourself as much as your dog.

Katie, Charlie & Moose - Finding The Joy Again

When Katie and Charlie first brought Moose home, they did all the research. Puppy classes, early training, spreadsheets… they were determined to give him the best start possible. But in the process of doing all the “right” things they layered on the stress and stopped enjoying their dog.

As time went on, little challenges crept in, he started to react to other dogs, they couldn’t get a harness on, they had to leave him alone when he had a chew. Like so many owners, they got really good at rationalising and focusing on the next tick box instead of the bigger picture.

In this episode, Katie takes us on a journey of raising Moose and how they got back on track after it all got a bit wonky. Overwhelm and overthinking had taken over, but by finding Honest Hounds and stepping back to see Moose as a whole dog, not a checklist of behaviours, they changed everything.

This is a story about progress, perspective, and rediscovering the joy that can come when you stop trying to fix your dog and start learning to truly understand them and we think you’re going to enjoy it!

Charlie & Ced - When Training Becomes a Calling

In this episode, Jessie sits down with Charlie for a chat about what happens when your own dog becomes your greatest teacher.

Charlie opens up about her journey with a challenging dog, navigating both human and dog reactivity, and how those experiences didn’t just shape her training approach - they changed the course of her life.

From navigating family dynamics and a small world to gaining experience and stepping into the world of professional training, Charlie shares what it really looks like to turn a passion into a career.

It’s an insightful listen for anyone who’s ever wondered if their struggles could lead to something more.

Jeanna & Frankie - Moving Beyond Our Wits Ends

This episode is a tough tale of an owner truly struggling. With a dog who was showing aggression towards dogs and humans, it was taking over their life, and Jeanne wasn’t sure where to turn next. Luckily, finding Honest Hounds and connecting with one of our affiliates, Gill, for a board and train.

From there, everything changed. The break gave them both the time to reset, breathe and continue their journey, and this story is a tale of hanging on, getting on the right track and developing so much resilience along the way.

Saffron & Odin - Moving Beyond ‘Don’t Touch Me’

When Saffron first brought Odin home, he was the calm, easy puppy everyone hopes for. As he grew older, things began to change. Same sex aggression, unpredictable reactivity, and a refusal to be touched left Saffron avoiding walks, dodging people in the street, and dreading vet visits, life was stressful for both of them.

In this episode, Saffron shares openly what that looked like in day-to-day life, the fear, the overwhelm, the exhaustion, and the moment she realised she couldn’t keep managing and avoiding forever.

We talk about her experience at her Honest Hounds Reactivity Retreat, the emotional highs and lows, and the shift that came when she started to rebuild trust with Odin. Today he is a dog who can be handled again, who is learning to enjoy touch, and who is giving Saffron the chance to breathe and enjoy life with him instead of just surviving it.

If you’re feeling stuck or wondering if there’s a different way to approach things with your dog, this one’s full of insight, honesty, and inspiration.

Proper Paws Dog Training - When Confusion Leads to Clarity

This week, we sat down with Alex, one of our brilliant affiliate trainers who supports Honest Hounds members across the North East of England. But his journey didn’t start with confidence, it started with a very challenging Romanian rescue who pushed him to the edge.

Despite trying many different methods, nothing was working, until he took a leap and joined an Honest Hounds residential and that was the catalyst for him redefining both his relationship with his dog, Flint and how he showed up as a trainer.

In this episode, Alex shares how he moved beyond frustration, what it was like adding a second dog to the mix, and how he’s built a holistic, down-to-earth approach that now supports so many others. You’ll hear about the lessons that shaped him, the challenging bits along the way and what he’s most excited about for the future.

Jackie, Kai & Rory - Growth from Across the Globe

This episode is proof that location doesn’t matter when you’ve got the right support behind you.

This awesome team joined us all the way from Australia to share their journey with Kai, their fluffy boy who had started to show signs of guarding and over-reactivity. They were already so committed, doing dog sports and obedience from a young age, but something wasn’t quite clicking.

With support from the Honest Hounds community and a series of tailored 1:1 Zoom sessions with affiliate trainer Jess W, they found the clarity they needed. Some tweaks, a deeper understanding of Kai’s body language, breed fulfilment, and everything started to shift.

This one is a joyful, down-to-earth conversation filled with giggles, honest reflections, and a whole lot of insight. You’ll finish this one feeling inspired, no matter where in the world you’re listening from, so come & join us!

Ellie, Tom & Ruby: When Touch Becomes a Trigger

This episode is a heart-wrenching story of how one event, at just six months old, set off a chain reaction that changed everything.

We dive into Ruby’s journey and the struggle of living with a dog who can no longer be safely touched and what that means not just for her, but for Tom and Ellie too.

This is more than a case of reactivity. It’s a raw look at how a human-aggressive dog can shake your confidence, strain relationships, and turn daily life into a battlefield. But it’s also a story of hope.

Because through dedication, learning, and partnership, Tom and Ellie have helped Ruby learn to see the world in a completely different light. They’ve reclaimed their confidence through knowledge & community and are now thriving as a team.

🎧 This one’s emotional, but it’s also packed with resilience and the reality of what’s possible when you don’t give up.

We’d love to know what part hit home for you 💛

Nicola & Florence⁠ - From Strong-Willed To Stronger Together

In this episode, we sit down with one of our most dedicated Honest Hounds members, Nicola, to talk about her incredible journey with Florence, her strong-minded and sassy Dachshund.

Florence has always known what she wants and hasn’t been shy about letting the world know. At first they were stuck in dog and human reactivity and separation anxiety. Their world got incredibly small and there was no time for self care for poor Nicola, but through consistent work, deep reflection, and a whole lot of commitment, Nicola has taken every opportunity to learn, connect, and show up for her dog in a way that’s truly inspiring.

From online courses to in-person workshops, and even joining us on retreat, this duo have embraced it all. What they’ve built is more than just progress in training, it’s a partnership of understanding, resilience, and shared joy.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered what’s possible when you go all in. Because sometimes the biggest breakthroughs don’t come from a single strategy, but from showing up, again and again - those one percents really do add up!

Julia & Milo - Overwhelm to Ownership.

In this episode, we dive into the story of Julia and Milo - an unstoppable duo who prove that with enough grit, mindset shifts, and the right support, even the wildest of journeys can lead somewhere extraordinary.

From the beginning, Milo was a whirlwind. With a mix of high-energy, high-drive, and highly strung traits, they got to the point that Milo was confined to a lead to keep him and other dogs safe. Julia wrestled with guilt and overwhelmed but they didn’t give up. She leaned in, joined the Honest Hounds community and began rewriting the narrative.

What followed was a deep transformation not just in Milo’s behaviour, but in her own confidence, clarity, and resilience.

This episode dives into how Julia turned emotional overload into clarity, and how being open to growth allowed her to tap into a level of self-leadership she didn’t even know she had and it’s such an inspiring listen!

💛 If you’ve ever questioned your ability to cope, or wondered if your dog is just “too much,” this episode will remind you what’s possible when you lean in to the process.

What started as a step towards recalibration during a Residential became the first leap into a future she hadn’t even considered… a career in dog training.

💛 If you’ve ever felt like something needs to change, or you’re curious about what it really looks like to take the leap into dog training as a career, this one’s for you.

Ally, Kim, Otis & Rupert - Rescue, Resilience & a Rabbit

Your mental health matters.

You can’t pour from an empty cup, and these two know it better than most. In this episode, we sit down with Ally and Kim to hear their raw and honest journey with Otis, their rescue dog. What started as a nervous boy lacking in confidence progressed into some pretty big feelings they were finding hard to navigate which led them to a deeper exploration of what they needed — support, space, and a reminder to look after themselves as much as their dog.

It’s a story of burnout, breakthroughs, and the little decisions that helped them finally turn a corner. And yes, there’s a very special non-dog guest in this one — their rabbit, Rupert, who just might be the real MVP of the episode.

✨ This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt like they were running on empty, or who needed a reminder that showing up for your dog starts with showing up for yourself.

Emma , Arthur & Billy - Beyond the 'Easy Dog' Label

Being a Golden Retriever, Arthur was often seen as the “easy dog” but things at home told a different story. Behind the calm exterior were quiet challenges that left Emma unsure, second-guessing herself, and wondering why it still felt so hard.

In this episode, she reflects on what that experience really looked like, and how the experience with Arthur shaped everything about how she approached raising her second puppy, Billy. It’s a conversation about learning through experience, letting go of pressure, and doing things with more confidence the second time around.

If you’ve ever felt like no one quite understands what you’re dealing with behind closed doors, this one will resonate.
