What did you do to make your puppy's ears stand? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My Ella had her ears down and then one went up around 4 months old...and then both were up for about a week. Now she's 6 weeks old and I think her ears both went down because she's teetching. I hope they come back up!!!! She was so cute for that week they were up, and i was super excited. Then I wake up and they're down! Such a bummer....

Same here. When we got Bentley he was 9 weeks old and his right ear was bent at the half-point. That's why we named him Bentley. Welll just a few days ago his ear perked up. So, I guess the name is just a memory now. ROFL. Nah, we will keep Bentley. :P He's my baby.

I got Little Man when he was 5 weeks old. His ears were still down, but I massaged his ears all the time until they started standing up. Then I went and them shaved so they wouldn't be so heavy for him. He has huge, but cute ears. His daddy keeps telling him that he should take flying lessons.

LOL!

Lucy had 1 up & 1 down when I got her (cute). I didn't really shave her ear, but I did trim the hair off the back some & it did finally stand up.

We massage Hersheys ears, It took about 2 weeks before they started to came up...

I clicked nothing, but that isn't exactly true. I massage the ears, starting at the base of the ear to the tip. I rub firmly but not too hard. I start with the puppies when they are about 4 weeks old - generally their ears are standing errct by 8 to 10 weeks.

I tried everything for Betty...they're still down! I did NOTHING for Juju...they've been up since day 1.
