Dog Training Diaries

An honest, heartwarming glimpse behind the scenes at Southend Dog Training, where Adam Spivey and his team of dog-obsessed trainers have helped improve the lives of thousands of dogs, gaining more than 4 million followers along the way. From boisterous puppies to nervous rescues and stubborn seniors, each dog that crosses Adam's path brings a unique challenge and story. Many arrive broken, some abandoned by other trainers as hopeless cases, yet Adam and his team refuse to give up. But this isn't just a story about training dogs; it's about the unbreakable bond between humans and their canine companions. It's about heartbreak and redemption, failure and perseverance, and the profound lessons dogs teach us about resilience, love and forgiveness. Alongside these powerful stories, Adam reflects on his own journey - navigating the highs and lows of building a business from scratch, grappling with his own struggles with addiction, and finding solace and hope in the steadfast loyalty of the dogs who saved him as much as he saved them. This is a book of second chances - for dogs, for their owners and for the people who dedicate their lives to helping them.
