Episode 6: Jess Adam (Handlers and Humans, The Complex Canine Community)

Welcome to ”Dog Training Bytes” – the show where canine professionals share their key takeaways, big a-ha moments, and hardest lessons learned from working with dogs.

On today’s episode, Mattison is speaking with Jess Adam.

Jess Adam is a licensed professional counselor who lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, her twin boys, her 9 year old reactive pit mix Dio, and her cat named Bat. Animals and mental health are two of Jess’s passions, and she has brought them together by creating a niche coaching business supporting dog owners and canine professionals in navigating the human side of dog training. Jess’s lived experience in managing Dio’s reactivity, along with her decade of experience as a therapist and professor of counseling, gives her a unique perspective to bring effective mental health tools and services to the dog world. Through her business Handlers & Humans, Jess offers individual coaching support to dog guardians and dog trainers, along with group support programs and online courses, all rooted in evidence-based therapeutic skills and a real-life understanding of living with a reactive dog.
