Dolly's First Day at Puppy Pre-School

Dolly meets Lulu

Aunty Lydia drops in to say hi

Yesterday, Dolly joined about 10 other pups for her first day of pre-school. She was a very quick learner, but all that learning was tiring, so the last third of the class was spent having a snooze. Although she was the biggest puppy there, she was also the youngest, and she was a bit shy. So homework is lots of socialisation and practice. Dolly has a crate now (those things are 'spensive!) so we can improve toilet training, and so that she will get better at 'separation' from me. I would like to sleep in my own bed again sometime soon instead of on the sofa! Right now her bladder is little and untrained, so she can only hold on for 2 or 3 hours. We need to train that bladder in order to reduce the times she needs to go outside during the night. Right now that's about 4 times. At least. But she's worth it!
