Maybe practised sounds weird. John turns to Ianto and his face scrunches a little.

"Twice? I went around a few places seeing the kinda dogs they have."

He didn't come every day for a week or anything, he just wanted to see how obedient she was on the visits so they practised some instructions! Sit and stay and come and that kinda thing. She is meant to help Ianto with his PI stuff after all.

Good girl is enough to get her attention, though, and she turns and makes for Ianto -- stands up on her hind paws to scrabble at his legs. Hello, Ianto! You are very tell and she cannot quite reach you properly!
