This week we started sound exposure. Each day the puppies are exposed to new sounds and experiences. These early exposure activities help puppies grow in confidence so that in the future, they can approach new experiences without fear and stress.
PART 2: What’s in our Go-Home bag!? Paperwork and resources (and why I included what I do)
What’s in our Go-Home bag?? PART 1!!
When your human mom lets you play outside after three days of rain.
Just getting a lil’ drink. We sure are going to miss these puppies. 😭 I can’t believe most of them will be gone in just two weeks. That went waaaay to fast!
The puppies have a new playground in the garage! This is not where they sleep but rather a place they can visit throughout the day to get exercise and enrichment when it’s too cold or wet to go outside. My last litter was born in the summer so we set up their playground outside on our covered patio, but it’s been too cold and wet this spring for our pups to have a daily exercise spot outdoors. We will still take them out to play on the grass everyday, as much as possible, when it’s not raining. This play area will rotate a variety of enrichment opportunities for the pups: a slide, two sizes of tunnels, kiddie pool (upside down to climb on), ball pit, jungle gym, wobble board, ramp, large bouncy balls, raised platform for climbing practice, pool noodles, toy wheel barrel and whatever else I can think of. Fun times!
