VOODOO & JOHNNY 2009 3 WEEKS OLD When mothers have babies, they dont like other dogs around. They are very protective of their pups. On your walk VooDoo see another of my dogs, who she normally would play with. But, because Voo Doo has puppies, she is giving the other dog a wide birth. The Milky Way was built for raising puppies. There is a wonderful outside area, where the mother can go to stretch her legs, get a drink of water, or just get away from her babies. There is a small door, big enough for the mother to fit through that leads to the inside where the puppies are. Last week the puppies were in the whelping box. The whelping box keeps the little ones from getting lost while their eyes are still not open. When their eyes start opening, they also start getting their feet under themselves and they start exploring a lot. This week you will see a big difference in their ability to get around.
Notice how the puppies are starting to use the feet and mouths to play with each other. These puppies still do not have any teeth. They are starting to play away from their rug, but as of yet, they have not gone outside.
I start teaching housebreaking now. I do this by making sure that the bedding that the puppies sleep on is changed every day. The puppies learn very quickly that they should go to the bathroom on the sawdust, not the rug. As time goes along, I make the path from the rug to the door very narrow and I push the sawdust out the small door. If their bedding is kept REALLY clean, they learn to go outside to go to the bathroom and to sleep on the clean bedding.
Notice that when VooDoo comes inside how all the puppies start running around with their nose up in the air. They are looking for food.
