Change your life with Southend Dog Training's no b*llsh*t advice.

Getting a dog is a massive step. The first twelve months or so of a dog's life are the hardest work, but Southend Dog Training founder Adam Spivey can help. In this book, he teaches you everything you need to know to understand your dog and help you both thrive.

Adam says: My simple, straight-talking approach takes all the nonsense out of dog training and puts your dog at the centre of everything you do. You'll hear me say again and again that I like to train the dog that's in front of me, not follow a set of rules or guidelines that might not even apply to your puppy, and that's what you'll find here. Because for me, the dog always comes first.
