About this listen

The ultimate no-bullsh*t guide to raising and training your puppy in the first year, with straight-talking advice from the trainer behind social media sensation Southend Dog Training

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 handy guide to your puppy’s first year, he teaches you everything you need to know to understand your dog and help you both thrive. He shares essential guidance on:

• The top five dog breeds for a first-time owner and what to know about temperament

• What to buy (and not buy) to prepare your home for a puppy

• Crate training, puppy potty training, and bedtime routines

• Basic training and leash walking

• Socialization, puppy separation anxiety, and more!

Adam says:

My simple, straight-talking approach takes all the nonsense out of dog training and puts your dog at the center 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.

* This downloadable audiobook includes a downloadable PDF with a socialization checklist.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I loved how this is broken down step by step on what stages puppies can go through, and then given what is the best procedure to use for them to get their best outcome for them to become a happy family member in your home. It was very helpful and was easy to understand and follow.

Very informative article on puppies

I decided to purchase this book after following Adam Spivy on Instagram because I really like his straight forward approach. As the owner of 4 huskies ages 4 months - 4 yrs, the steps in this book are very necessary in maintaining a healthy happy household. I only wish I had this tool when my oldest was a puppy!

Great Information
