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.
