I am so lost.....When do I start potty trainig them?? She still cleans them but I have noticed in the last 3 days they are soiling the blankets Is this normal?? What should their "new envirioment" look like?? Please someone, the vet said as early as 3 weeks I can wean them, sounds too early to me, Tinkerbell still has alot of milk, although I have noticed she nurses less than before |
Hi we have always started feeding our puppys soft foods at 5 weeks it mostly depends the mommas milk and the pup. we have started some as early as 4 weeks and others at 5-6 weeks. I dont start showing mine the pad for potty training until 5-6 weeks , but always keep pads on the floor in their play area so they can get use to it. I never let puppys have free rome of the house, they are just to small and can easly be stepped on.
I have used a small room as laundryroom, or the extra bathroom for their room as they get bigger. I keep their pads, toys, blanket. water and food in with them. I let momma come and go as she pleases. I also set up a playpen with blanket , toys and pad so they can be in the living room with us a little while. We never worm our puppys at an early age unless we see a problem with worms and then its at 6 weeks.
