Dog Mom Mentality

Jessie @story_of_atlas is our first ever guest from the UK! Having always dreamed of having a dog, Jessie and her husband Sean's experience with their vizsla, Atlas, was not at all what they imaged. After setting up an Instagram to share their cute puppy journey, Jessie realised their path was going to be a lot more challenging, when at 10 months, both she and her husband had been hospitalised by Atlas' biting. Dealing with human aggression was incredibly challenging and at points utterly heartbreaking, but finding the right trainer changed everything. Atlas is now thriving and their bond is stronger than ever. Wanting to help others, Jessie set up @honesthounds, a private community connecting owners, no matter their backgrounds, and promoting kindness and understanding so no matter where you are in the world you can have a safe space to share the good and the bad of life with your dog.

This week we are talking to Jess from @handlersandhumans! Jess is a licensed professional counselor who lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, her 8 year old pit mix Dio, and her cat named Bat. Animals and therapy are two of Jess's passions, and she has brought them together in many ways, such as getting certified in animal assisted therapy, by doing equine psychotherapy work, training her reactive dog to become a therapy dog, and now as a coach who supports dog owners struggling with the human side of their training journey. Dio is a reactive boy who has worked hard to earn his CGC and pass the therapy dog evaluations - but made it clear that therapy work wasn't a fit for him, so now he's a happy house dog, loving life and hanging out with his cat all day.

This week we are talking to K from @wheeled_up_pup! K, Jake and their two pups, Tyra and Rey live in Northern Virginia and are known for their account wheeled_up_pup. K brought Tyra home when she was just five weeks old after she was born with deformed front legs and was sent to be euthanized by the breeder. K and Jake helped Tyra learn to walk and figure out how to use her first set of wheels. It was clear she was now their dog after learning how to walk with them and her adoption was made official last Fall. Tyra is now a spunky 6 pound pup and has taught K so much about resilience, about seeing a story beneath a behavior, about being your full self unapologetically, and about prioritizing joy and playfulness.
