We all had a good chat catching up with friends which we hadn't seen since the end of last season whilst having a nice bacon sandwich and a little sip of port. We then decided to make a start so I put Glen back in the car for the first few drives with the windows in the car lowered so he could hear all the guns going off, then in the afternoon I got him out for a couple of drives. I wouldnt let him pick a bird until his second drive and instead focused on steadiness. He remained calm and totally focused on the job in hand and marked every bird well. I then let him pick a simple retrieve at the end of the drive which he completed with ease, delivering well to hand. At that - it was the end of our day so I was very pleased with him as he remained calm throughout which hopefully is a good sign for future days out and possible working test days.
