The Fourth and Fifth Weeks

During this period, the puppy’s muscular development increases to the point where he can walk, run, and pounce
on his litter mates. It is a period of endless exploration,and the puppy’s interaction with his siblings teaches him a
lot, including when he’s biting too hard – which elicits a tough response from a littermate – and where he belongs in
the aristocracy of the pack – he will alternately sleep at the bottom and top of the puppy pile.

If the puppy is misbehaving, Mom occasionally may get involved by growling at him. This discipline sharpens the
puppy’s sense of right and wrong, which can make training easier. If dogs aren’t subject to this kind of discipline,
such as dogs who become orphaned, the human training process becomes that much more difficult.

During this time, the puppy’s teeth develop, and he may stop nursing. Around the fourth week, he can start eating
food specially prepared by Mom, which is food she chews and swallows and then regurgitates.

The latter portion of this time is when the puppy starts to become socialized with the human family, becoming more
aware of the sights and sounds in the house, as well asinteracting more with individual members.

The Third Week

During this week, the puppy’s other senses start to
operate.Their eyes are open now.They can detect light and dark, as well as movement,
and will respond to large or sudden sounds. They will start
to interact with his brothers and sisters, and he starts
developing social skills by this interaction, i.e.,
touching them with his paws and mouth.
They learns to crawl, and his tail begins to wag. They can also
venture from his mother to urinate on his own. In some
cases, puppies, though not weaned, can be fed liquid food
suggested by a veterinarian.
