Not much has changed, and during this time your puppy will still be sleeping a lot, but they will also be getting familiar with the new home and their new family. The pup will be very curious, impressionable, and easily scared.
Be careful to avoid frightening experiences, and any necessary ones (such as the trip to your vet), should be made less scary with treats, praise, and your positive attitude. However, never over do the baby talk either as that may affect their confidence.
You have been working on housebreaking and some training, but don’t expect too much, and don’t even think about discipline!
Your pup is much too young to understand and punishment will only serve to frighten your pup and strain your budding relationship.
Your pup is starting to notice what gets your attention and who is in charge (in some cases, it may not be you). You may see signs of independence and confidence in your new puppy, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t still looking to you for leadership. In fact, this is exactly when you should start showing them who is the boss with close supervision and regular training.
Just remember to stay positive and avoid getting frustrated. Your pup is still very vulnerable and they are watching your every response.
You do not want to break them by being too harsh.
Pick a feather!
