I guess it differs as far as when the ears stand up. At least you have the ears shaved so that will help a lot. I have read where some people give their puppies cottage cheese in order to increase their calcium intake. I guess that helps with the cartilage that is developing in the ear.
Some puppies ears are up at 8 weeks and others go up later.
I know someone posted a good youtube video of someone taping ears. Maybe you could do a search for that thread. It's a pretty common topic on YT. If I can find it I'll post it again for you.
