Puppy Pen Gets Remodeled

Once the puppies gain confidence in their surroundings it’s time to change it out. Not too much…but just enough to challenge their little brains.

So I added some arial objects…plastic chains dangling in several places.

I also added some different toys. And I moved the direction of their pen.

I am so excited how they have taken to pottying in the litter trays!

 

Mouthing Phase is Normal and Important!

At 3 weeks puppies will start exploring their environment and their littermates by “mouthing”.

This is not to be confused with a 10 week old puppy’s mouthing which can be a bit painful!

I find it endearing…one of the first signs of interaction with others around them.
