About this listen

What's going on, guys? Adam here from Southend Dog Training. If you've got a puppy already or you're thinking about getting one in the future, there is tons of advice and guidance to help you with what is - let's be very clear - a pretty massive step in life. If you've seen any of my videos on TikTok or articles on my website, you'll know I'm all about keeping things simple and saying it as it is.

How to Raise the Perfect Dog tells you everything you need to know to train your puppy, with straight-talking advice from Southend Dog Training founder Adam Spivey.

The first twelve months or so of a dog's life are the hardest work, but Adam Spivey can help. He will help you both thrive as you learn to understand your dogs needs and behaviours. Adam's simple, straight-talking approach takes all the nonsense out of dog training and puts your pup at the centre of everything you do.

Listen to How to Raise the Perfect Dog and build a bond with your dog that lasts a lifetime.

This audiobook includes a socialisation checklist which can be viewed on the southenddogtraining website.

Adam’s book should be mandatory reading for all dog owners, especially new dog owners. It’s straightforward down to earth and doesn’t pull any punches. No fancy rubbish that you see on some videos or at Dog training seminars. This is just good old-fashioned, down-to-earth strategies and techniques that work. Well done Adam

I purchased it today and finished it today. So insightful. It’s a commonsense approach but so effective. I can’t wait to work on this with my puppy.

So simple yet so effective.
