Jessie Montague
Founder of Honest Hounds

I created Honest Hounds when I was running out of options with my first dog, a Hungarian Vizsla called Atlas. Despite our best efforts, we were struggling with extreme human aggression and dog reactivity and our world was getting smaller every day. Feeling overwhelmed and isolated, I was desperate for a community that provided support and understanding while getting me on the right track.

The lack of effective dog trainers combined with an increasingly judgemental online dog community left me feeling like I had nowhere to turn. So, I decided to create a space where dog owners, regardless of their backgrounds, experiences, or challenges, could find solidarity and guidance.

Honest Hounds is now a space that combines knowledge, welfare, and expertise with a commitment to inclusivity. It’s a place for every dog owner, regardless of their individual circumstances. We have new members joining every day and big plans to continue helping owners and trainers worldwide. It has been incredible to see owners getting the help that I could have only dreamed of at the start of my journey.

If you’re seeking a supportive community for you and your dog, the Honest Hounds community is here to welcome you with open arms. Come and join us!

Jessica Probst
Your Dog Coach

I have been constantly curious to seek more knowledge and experience with dogs and their owners throughout the last 20 years.

I don’t just want to know what happens, I want to know why. This inquisitive nature has been at the heart of every project I've undertaken, from my work in canine behavior and rehabilitation to my current involvement with Honest Hounds. I believe trainers and owners can learn to combine science and compassion to form the cornerstones of effective animal welfare, and I strive to integrate these principles into every aspect of my work.

My scientific approach is evident in my research and data analysis, which guides my decision-making and ensures that my interventions are grounded in evidence. I am also committed to sharing my knowledge and findings with others, believing that open communication and collaboration are essential for advancing animal welfare.

My involvement with Honest Hounds exemplifies my dedication to the ethical treatment of animals and my commitment to scientific inquiry and promoting responsible practices that prioritise the health and well-being of dogs. I am proud to be a part of this movement, which aligns perfectly with my values and passion for positively impacting the world.
