I think we've had the conversation before, I've never taken any of my dogs to puppy training classes. I mean I have been very fortunate, I've grown up around puppies and dogs and working dogs. So it's a bit of an unfair advantage I guess. But I would say to anybody that has a puppy, the recall starts in the home in the first 12 weeks before you're allowed to take them out. Just through play. I know there are lots of different schools of thought, but everything my dogs learn is initially through play and then it becomes a little more rigid when we're out messing around. Yeah, sort of doing a bit more serious training but it's still not working, working. And he's 14 months now, 15 months and he is absolutely on point. But again, you've got a working dog there, come from working stock. And as we say in the working world, a Labrador is born half trained, a Spaniel dies half trained. That's the difference in temperament and everything else. So yeah, they're fantastic dogs, very loyal and I would say probably one of the easiest dogs to train. Back to you Graham.
