BOY PUPS

Puppy Growth and Development & Behavior between 3 to 7 weeks old

  • A puppy will be weaned between the ages of 3 and 7 weeks
  • During the ages of 3 to 7 weeks its first teeth, or milk teeth will appear
  • A puppy is taught basic behaviour disciplines from its mother
  • A puppy will continue to develop by socializing with other dogs and animals and people
  • Puppies will stand up and start walking
  • At the age of 3 weeks a puppy will develop its sense of smell
  • At 3 weeks the puppy will begin to bark and show social development such as wagging its tail, growling and baring its teeth
  • Up to the age of 4 weeks the mother will be with the puppy almost constantly
  • The puppy has good use of its legs and is able to chase
  • Between 4 and 5 weeks the mother will gradually spend time away from her puppies
  • Rapid growth and development rate at this stage
  • Interaction with litter mates leading to Order of Dominance
  • After weaning puppies need to receive a series of vaccines in order to develop immunity on their own. Vaccinations for puppies generally include distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, parvovirus, rabies, and sometimes bordetell

 The puppies started eating soft food at 4 weeks of age. I'm hoping the weather will warm up this week so they can start to go outside. They are starting to develop their personalities but please keep in mind they are young and can change. They are in a pack right now so their personalities are developing by trying to figure out their pack order. Depending on your home environment will determine their final development. For example, a dominant puppy here upon changing into an environment where there is no pack can calm down since there is no one to compete with. Same of a quiet laid back puppy. They don't want to fight for order here if they go into a home with no competition they could come out of their shell. Same goes for socialization. We socialize them here with our kids and other animals but it is up to you to keep the socialization up. Remember you are raising your puppy and your behavior and training determines his/her outcome.

Alice - Adopted

Try Potty Park Risk Free!

Hey Everyone!  I’ve got some great news for you and your pets!

 

Over and over I am asked the very same question from my new puppy buyers – what is the best way to house train my new puppy?  This has always been a tricky answer because until recently there was no best way or worst way – just the long way.  Well thankfully that has all changed!

 

I was recently introduced to a product called Potty Park.  It literally is a toilet for dogs that can be used indoors or outdoors at your home, apartment or anywhere else your dog may need somewhere to relieve itself.  Essentially it’s your own private little piece of the dog park anywhere you need it.

 

I have seen other dog potties for sale and have been very skeptical because of the inherent dangers of all of the bacteria building up on these units, but Potty Park is made from anti-bacterial and anti-microbial medical grade materials.  In fact it’s the only true anti-microbial dog potty in the world! 

 

Once I found out that the White House uses Potty Park for Bo Obama I was sold!  I mean, if there was a better dog potty out there don’t you think they’d be using it?

 

Not only does it save your floors from accidents and stains, but it also allows you to spend more quality time with your dog(s) and less time cleaning up after them.
