    Lucy, Poppy & Bailey - When House Guests Become Impossible

    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

    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!

    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. 🎧 Now live on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you tune in.

    Amy & Mellow - When Local Trainers Just Didn’t Cut It

    Based in America, Amy was feeling overwhelmed bringing home a rescue dog.

With support from the Honest Hounds community, their world begins to open up, confidence grows, and shared walks and hikes become possible again.
