walking and problem solving
The puppies are all still doing well! They grow a half inch every day and are starting to explore the house.
the exercise of walking is very important for a puppy this age because it helps them to develop their strength and coordination. We think this is a good time to teach them puzzle solving skills as well. We are setting them simple tasks with good rewards like encouraging them to come out of the kennel on their own at feeding time instead of being picked up.
Our older dogs are still interested in them. Lucia especially is thinking about what it would be like to be a mother herself!
sometimes it is hard to get her to leave the puppies when it is time to put them to bed.
