Puppy Culture Enrichment Effect
Puppy Culture recommends adding a different toy, object, obstacle etc. to the puppy pen every day. Puppies That are stimulated in this way. Here is what they say, ”
“Puppies raised with lots of stimulation actually grow more brain than puppies raised in a boring environment. They demonstrate increased learning development. This is called the enrichment effect.
Also add the litter box filled with pine pellets. Negotiating the litter box builds muscles.”
They really love this new toy I got. So many nooks, crannies, obstacles and objects!

Why Do Newborn Puppies Twitch?
I wanted to show you a video of our sleeping babies so you could enjoy their puppy sounds and watch them twitch!
Not only perfectly normal, but a sign of healthy puppies, twitching helps build their muscles when they are still unable to move around much. Not twitching is cause for concern. This is called “activated Sleep”. You can read about it on the Puppy Culture website. But basically it helps muscle and form the neurological connections that will allow them to develop motor coordination. Fascinating, right?
