The developmental characteristics of newborn puppies understand the characteristics to better raise dogs

The newborn litter is like a baby, with a rosy colored mouth, nose, ears, and fleshy pads of the feet, a hungry crying stomach, and most of the time in a sound sleep. In the first week after birth, its eyes are not yet open, it receives information from the outside world by sensation and smell, and will only crawl in a small area and will not stray too far from the litter. The weight can be doubled, and if there is a need to break the tail or remove the wolf’s toes, it should be done in the 4th-7th days. Towards the end of the 2nd week, his eyes and ears slowly open, but he still cannot see well and responds to the ambient temperature. At this time the littermates begin to be sociable – licking and wiping each other. In the 3rd week, they begin to learn to walk in a lopsided manner and respond to wiggly, shiny objects, and the litter begins to move around away from the mother. The male will roughly nose his litter to teach them about the cruelty of the outside world, and the rough play stops when the litter returns to the litter, an important education in the pack. In the 4th week, the mother does not care much about her baby, the puppy is gradually weaned, all his senses are fully formed in this period, he starts to know and understand the outside world, this period and human contact is crucial, do not let him develop fear of people and aggressive behavior. In the 5th-6th weeks, you should go to the vet for fecal examination, deworming and vaccination to avoid contracting viral diseases such as distemper. Life education for him can also start, such as bowel movement and name calling training, but he should not be overly demanding and he will not complete the training of complex subjects. Play is the best way for puppies to learn, and they determine the hierarchy during play. this period should establish your master’s authority, otherwise it will be difficult to discipline later. before sexual maturity at 5-6 months of age, simple training can be carried out, such as coming, sitting, following, etc. As an owner, you should spend more time playing and walking with your dog to promote its brain development and learning ability.
