Sometimes mom gets a bit rough when she's trying to wean the pups and they still try to nurse. If she hasn't dryed up yet try putting a onesy on her with a hole cut out for her tail. This will keep the pups from trying to nurse and mom from getting so annoyed. She has to teach them doggy manners and you will observe her putting them in a submissive position quite often. You may notice that she seems to pick on one or two more than the rest. Mom knows which pups are more dominant and need to learn their place. Keep an eye on them and as long as they bounce back mom isn't being as rough as it may appear.
