Brooklyn Puppies at 6 weeks
The Sixth and Seventh Weeks
This is a time of wonder and curiosity for the young pup,but he is also very sensitive to emotional harm. His
emotions will be revealed; he’ll start barking to get attention, whining to show fear, and whimpering if hurt .
Take care not to scare or upset him in any way. It’s best that the dog be allowed to relate one on one with a human
being, allowing trust to start to build. It is also a time of great fan. He should be given a supply of toys, because
he will be very rambunctious and needs them to interact. If he goes too far when playing, his mother will put him in
his place. When the puppies are weaned, have their own teeth, and can eat by themselves, the mother dog assumes
the role of alpha or pack leader. The mother will show her puppies - using toys - when it’s appropriate to bite.
Puppies will also attack each other to establish dominance and to determine who the alpha is.
