Introduction

Comedian Frank Skinner has a new cavapoo called Poppy. He and Graeme Hall chat through the realities of raising a puppy, as it’s turned out to be a little more difficult than Frank had expected. He explains what he found particularly challenging about toilet training, and impresses Graeme with the way he’s socialised Poppy. Plus, they debate whether getting some help by way of a dog walker or daycare is a good idea. Do you have a question for The Dogfather? Send Graeme a voice note and a video of your pesky pooch to talkingdogs@avalonuk.com.
