All dogs need to learn to be left on their own for a while. So whilst still a young puppy seems like a good time to start. It can be hard to find a quiet time in a busy household with the constant comings and goings, and also the other dogs being around, but today I found just the perfect time to leave little Finny on her own indoors. The older dogs were all out on a long walk, so I took Georgia out in the pushchair for her own new experiences. After a short while we returned home, and Finny was none the worse, fast asleep and didn't care that she was on her own. Georgia had a great time watching a cycling proficiency test being held just around the corner, she sat at the bus stop for a while, then over to see the large diggers and builders vehicles. Noises don't seem to bother her, nor uniforms or high-vis jackets. The bicycles were a tad boring for her, I'm very glad, as one of my friends dogs goes into a huge panic whenever he encounters a bicycle or an ice-cream van. So the socialisation continues......
