Raising Your Puppy: Key Steps from 6 Weeks to 2 Months
Overview
The period from 6 weeks to 2 months is crucial in your puppy's development. Here’s how to ensure a healthy start.Physical Development
This phase involves full weaning. Initially, your puppy will be partly nursing and partly eating solid food, but by 2 months, weaning should be complete. This is also a suitable time for ear-cropping, if advised by your vet. Although your puppy grows rapidly, he might still have trouble controlling natural functions, although he instinctively picks a spot away from the nest to urinate.Social and Psychological Growth
With a fully mature nervous system, your puppy will react quicker and need more exercise. He’ll start following people, seeking companionship and attention. Introduce simple activities like fetching a small rubber ball to keep him engaged.As your puppy's personality unfolds, you’ll notice unique character traits. Tailor your interactions to suit his temperament, as this is a key "socialization" period. Human interaction is essential to prevent shyness, but exposure to other dogs is equally important to ensure he remains sociable.
Essentials and Care
Your puppy needs constant supervision, human companionship, play, love, and ample sleep. Now is the time to introduce him to a name, provide toys, establish a "bathroom" spot, begin leash training, and practice lots of patience!By taking these steps, you’ll set the foundation for a happy, well-adjusted dog.
