Teddy Dog (confirmed introduction)
First stage from birth to 21 days of age
Features: Puppies are born from the womb. They are not yet able to see and hear, cannot regulate their body temperature on their own, and cannot defecate without the help of stimulation, so they completely rely on the female dog or "surrogate mother". During this stage, emotional development, social interactions, and learning behaviors occur. Regardless of whether they are placed or awake, the puppies' brain waves remain constant. Regarding hunger, cold and contact, what puppies do has no more than a direct effect. They rely on each other for warmth; they will shut down when they get too hot, but they cannot use vibrations and ejaculation to regulate their body temperature. During this lactation period, the puppies will crawl forward and backward, shake their heads, make cat-like sounds or trills, and repeat their movements. These natural movements familiarize the puppies' muscles and nervous system and promote the development of the inner ear.
What the grower should do: maintain a happy, healthy, nutritious diet for the dog. Her good physical and mental condition can provide everything a puppy needs at this stage.
When picking up the puppy, you should be very slow, gentle and careful. For puppies that are two weeks old, a slight stimulation of their nervous system is beneficial: gently turn the puppy's body with your hands, gently press the skin of the ears, and hold the puppy on its back for a few minutes every day. Puppies should naturally lose weight every day. This is a very good stage to hold every puppy. This is not an era that is consistent with socialization or familiarity. The effect of pre-pressure can help the development of brain cells.
What those who grow up have to do: block the spectators in this era. Eliminate all events that may cause stress to the mother dog (visitors, parties, house repairs, etc.). Also, try not to move the puppies or take the mother dog away from her womb. If the puppies or nursing mothers need to see a veterinarian, try to arrange for a veterinarian to come to your home to provide services. Back from public events, this is not a good time to take a puppy to a dog show in your caravan, trailer or motorhome.
13~21 days transition period
Characteristics: The eyes and ears are opened, and the puppies gradually begin to react to light, movement and sound. When puppies become aware of the situation - the presence of their mother, puppy companions and other objects, becoming more and more active. During this period, puppies may also become fearful of human existence. This is still a response to stimulation rather than an interaction between socialization and emotion.
The puppy will stand up with all its strength, but still crawl back and forth. By the end of this period, they will probably be crawling into the production box with all their strength.
What the grower should do: put toys in as obstacles for puppies to climb or top. This can help puppies develop spatial awareness. Some puppies will begin to have brief interactions with toys around the third week. During this stage, continue to hug the puppy gently every day. Puppies grow very fast and require frequent grooming. Brush with a soft brush. Similarly, this era is not in line with familiarity except for excitement.
What the growers should avoid: During the process of hearing and visual development, avoid loud noises and sudden movements that scare the puppies. If you must change your puppy's condition, this is the time to do it. Do not take puppies away from their mothers.
The second stage 21~28 days old
Characteristics: a critical stage for rapid sensory development. Puppies are very wary of their environment and are easily frightened by sudden sounds and movements. At this time they have become acquainted with adults and other people who often appear in gentle ways. In any case, they have lost their natural immunity during the lactation stage. At this stage, negative events can easily leave their mark on basic behavior. During this week, social efficiency begins to explode.
During the breastfeeding stage, movements similar to head shaking and crawling forward and backward stopped. The puppy is becoming more active and walking much more freely. The body changes rapidly at this stage. Significant changes in brain waves have also occurred at this stage, and puppies can later learn from experience and remember what they have learned.
What the growers should do: Introduce new tactile experiences into the puppy box. For example, puppies like to crawl through shredded newspapers, or crawl on rolled towels or blankets. Continue to hold them every day and add new sounds and lights to the environment. You may wish to take the puppy out of the box and place it on a different surface than usual. It is much better to take out two puppies than to wear one alone.
What the growth avoids: to avoid big noise or sudden changes at this time. During this week, negative events may have a lasting effect on the puppy. Do not use noisy appliances such as vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, electric shavers, etc. around puppies. Delay family matters. Customers requesting reservations or curious partners should at least wait until the puppies are four-quarters of an age before viewing the puppies. Do not move puppies or separate them from their mothers during this week.
The third stage 21~49 days old
Characteristics: social awareness emerges and learning to become a dog (note: this critical stage is the first weeks of development and the second stage of development overlap). Gradually became interested in playing criticism games. Puppies begin to learn problem-solving skills, body coordination skills, and biting and suppression. The mother dog begins to warn the puppies at this stage to teach principles. At this stage, puppies will often go to their beds, boxes or corners of the fence to defecate. Fixed-point defecation can begin!
What the grower should do: Let the puppies stay as if they were just born at all stages, and allow the mother dog to freely enter and leave the puppy area.
In the 4th week (21-28 days), do not move the mother dog and start providing food to the puppies. You may wish to feed the mother dog and her kittens simultaneously in the puppy box. Begin to gradually enhance your sensory experience (see the Notes on Phase 2). The grower and his family members continue to cuddle the puppies every day.
In the 5th week (28~35 days), you may wish to take the puppy outdoors. If this does not provide a place like a bathroom for puppies to initiate their designated defecation, after they walk or eat, put them outside to soak up the feces. Begin to take the puppy out alone every day and stay away from its companion and mother for at least 10 minutes. You may want to ask family members, friends, neighbors, or the puppy's future owners to help during this process. If you can't do it in 10 minutes, then just 5 minutes. It is very important to separate the experience of companionship and bitch every day.
Reduce the sensory experience of short rides in the 6th to 7th week (35~49 days). Keep your puppy closest to the vacuum cleaner. At this time, you can use food or other attractive objects to start a simple routine for the puppy. Begin to get familiar with puppies standing on the grooming table for inspection or grooming. This is a presocialization stage. Have more contact with strangers, especially children. Puppies are willing to interact with adult uncles and aunts who show respect, kindness, and tolerance, which will stimulate changes in behavioral issues - pipes, cardboard boxes, doors, pathways, fences, benchmarks, etc. Encourage puppies to pass and use food to reduce their sense of function.
What the growers are avoiding: Don’t take the puppies away from the pack at this time! The female dog was not fully removed. Puppies do not play aggressive games correctly, make defecation errors, or eat feces.
The fourth stage: 49 days to 12 weeks old
Characteristics: Emphasis on social contact and restraint when leaving the group. The mental ability has been fully developed, but the puppies have not yet understood it. This is a great time to cultivate new items. Yes, puppies simply learn things the fastest at this age. Research shows that in the era when people learn things the fastest, behaviors are most easily shaped and stereotyped. The familiarity during this period, accompanied by the growth of brain cells in the corresponding areas, has objectively improved the ability to learn. Bladder and intestinal control skills develop, and puppies can sleep through the night without "accidents" - penetration.
What the growers should do: During the period of 49 to 56 days, try to increase the area where the puppies can move. Several dogs were divided into groups and took turns playing and placing. Puppies kept by their growers can stay with other puppies. maintain and other childrenCanine contact. Each dog continues to be groomed, played and acquainted on its own. A person's style should be gentle but restrained. Begin to become familiar with the response to simple commands such as "sit", "lye", "stand", "come", "walk" and so on.
What the growers should avoid doing: At this time, do not separate the puppies from people or use unnecessary exercise control (only necessary dog boxes or fences are needed). Avoid the fear reaction of increased independence. Note: The first fear mark cycle is 8 to 10 weeks. During this time, avoid exposing the puppies; avoid traumatic experiences such as trimming and ear cropping.
When they pass the first fear imprinting period, 10 to 12 weeks, although they are still little babies, properly socialized puppies can be successfully handled by their adults.
The fifth stage 3~4 months old
Characteristics: With the establishment of social status, the period when puppies develop a desire for control. Puppies begin to experiment with having their own land. This trend has become bolder. In this era, the body develops very quickly.
What the grower/owner should do: Treat the puppy as you would an independent adult dog. If they are still living with their caregivers, they should no longer be kept with other puppies, they should sleep alone in a separate den at night, and all acquaintance and care should be done alone.
Start familiarizing yourself with action planning. Put yourself and your family on a high note—feed your puppy after you have finished eating; and remove their food and toys frequently during mealtimes and playtimes.
What the grower/master is trying to avoid: don't use force in the brawl game. Dogs and humans are not allowed to sleep on the bed together. Definitely avoid playing catch-up between puppies and children. Special attention should be paid to: at this time, do not stack puppies from the same litter or put two unfamiliar puppies together.
The sixth stage 4~6 months old
Characteristics: The fighting period accompanying the teething period. Puppy trial demarcation.
May attempt to control human family members (especially children) offside. Probably "forgot" to defecate at the designated address.
This stage is characterized by the prominence of independence and wildness. In the eyes of puppies, the owner or the caregiver is no longer the substitute for "Mami".
What the grower/owner should do: keep the puppy on a leash when exercising outside the fence. Continuously call to familiarize and touch all parts of the puppy's body frequently.
Growers/owners should avoid letting puppies off leash under all circumstances. Do not chase your puppy or play catch-up games.
Second fear imprinting period 6~14 months old
Characteristics: Sexual maturity, hormonal changes. Fear of new environments, objects, people, or other dogs. male dog kaiStart lifting your hind legs to urinate. In some dogs, no abnormality is noticed at all, and they get through this stage more quickly than most dogs. There are also some dogs whose behavioral changes at this stage are very extreme.
Pay attention to your behavior: on the one hand, excessive pampering and protective behavior will increase the dog’s fear; on the other hand, avoid punishment to lead to fear. Try to deal with the puppy's fear in a dignified, patient, and friendly manner. Continue to wear your dog to participate in social activities with strangers and dogs. During this period of fear imprinting, avoiding and delaying the emergence of animals as much as possible brings special stress and traumatic experiences.
