Hi Laura!!!
How are your babies?!? I LOVED the 2 week picture of them (left a comment under the picture). To imprint train them, make them very familiar with your hands being everywhere on them. A lot of people have problems with ears and the mouth. When you hold your puppies, put your fingers in their ears (all of this very gently...I'm sure I wouldn't have to add that), their mouth, run your hands down each of their legs, just everywhere. They will find it very relaxing and it prepares them for MUCH when they get older. When they are a little older, make sure they will let you open their mouth without a hassle. That is why you start when they are tiny, your hand won't be a foreign object to them. Turn the clippers on near them at a young age periodically (then the sound won't scare them later). Their ears don't open until they are about 2 weeks old, so start then. Also, hold all of your puppies enough that they feel comfortable laying on their back while holding them. I takes A LOT OF TIME, but is well worth it. You'll definetly need your family's help.
