We’re joined this week by our dog expert Simon Parry-Moreno - and the star of the show, his new German Shepherd puppy Strudel. We talk toilet training, how calm Strudel is, how she’s settling in with Leia, separation anxiety, vaccinations, and why Chihuahuas do that famous shake.

Before that: Jack is recording from a mystery location, Seann's been on Deal or No Deal (and why someone thought he worked at a petrol station), Juniper celebrates her 2-year Gotcha Day, and we hear how Dolly's tooth op went.

Got a new puppy? We want to hear from you!
