We have a staircase in our house. At about 9 or 10 weeks of age, puppies here start trying to go up and down them. At about that time Itzi, my stud, will get involved and help the puppies pushing the biewer puppies' rears up the stairs and assisting them. It is really cute to watch. Then when they reach the top he runs down and wants them to chase them. By the time they really catch on--it looks like a train of biewer pups chasing their dad up and down the stairs.
He also teaches them the doggie door if the weather is appropriate and I let them follow him out. So sometimes the sire can take over teaching when the dam is playing with the pups. |
