Besenji dog (definite introduction)
Dogs will experience many different experiences in their growth. stages, and some stages have a decisive effect on the growth of dogs. So we need to pay more energy than usual for those key development stages. Let’s take a look at the key stages of dog development so that we can better take care of our dogs.
The first stage from birth to 21 days of age
Characteristics: Puppies are born from the womb. They are not yet able to see and hear, cannot regulate their body temperature on their own, and cannot defecate without the help of stimulation, so they completely rely on the female dog or "surrogate mother". During this stage, emotional development, social contact, and learning behaviors occur. Regardless of whether they are placed or awake, the puppies' brain waves remain constant. Regarding hunger, cold and contact, what puppies do has no more than a direct effect. They rely on each other for warmth; they will break down when they get too hot, but they cannot control their body temperature with shaking and panting. During this lactation period, the puppies will crawl forward and backward, shake their heads, make cat-like sounds or trills, and repeat their movements. These natural movements train the puppies' muscles and nervous system and promote the development of the inner ear.
What the grower should do: maintain a happy, healthy and nutritious diet for the dog. Her good physical and mental condition can provide everything a puppy needs at this stage. When picking up a puppy, you should be very slow, gentle and careful. For puppies that are two weeks old, a slight stimulation of their nervous system is beneficial: gently turn the puppy's body with your hands, gently press the skin of the ears, and hold the puppy on its back for a few minutes every day. Puppies should naturally lose weight every day. This is a very good stage to hold every puppy. This is not an era of socialization or training. The effect of pre-pressure can help the development of brain cells.
The second stage 21~28 days old
Characteristics: a critical stage for rapid sensory development. Puppies are very wary of their environment and are easily frightened by sudden sounds and movements. At this time they have become acquainted with adults and other people who often appear in a gentle manner. In any case, they have lost their natural immunity during the lactation stage. At this stage, negative events can easily leave their mark on basic behavior. During this week, social efficiency begins to explode.
During the breastfeeding stage, movements similar to head shaking, sighing, and crawling forward and backward stopped. Puppies are getting betterI move and walk much more freely. The body changes rapidly at this stage. Significant changes in brain waves have also occurred at this stage, and puppies can later learn from experience and remember what they have learned.
Growers’ to-do: Introduce new tactile experiences into the puppy box. For example, puppies like to crawl through shredded newspapers, or crawl on rolled towels or blankets. Continue to hold them every day and add new sounds and lights to the environment. You may wish to take the puppy out of the box and place it on a different surface than usual. It is much better to take out two puppies than to wear one alone.
The third stage is 21 to 49 days old.
Characteristics: Social awareness emerges and learning to become a dog (note: the development of the first week and the second of this critical stage stages of development). Gradually became keen on playing attack games. Puppies begin to learn problem-solving skills, body coordination skills, and biting and suppression. The mother dog begins to warn the puppies at this stage to teach principles. At this stage, puppies will often go to their beds, boxes or corners of the fence to defecate. Fixed-point defecation can begin!
What the grower should do: Let the puppies stay as if they were just born at all stages, and allow the mother dog to freely enter and exit the puppy area.
The fourth stage 49 days to 12 weeks old
Characteristics: Emphasis on social contact and restraint when leaving the group. The mental ability has been fully developed, but the puppies have not yet understood it. This is a great time to cultivate new items. Yes, puppies simply learn things the fastest at this age. Research shows that in the era when people learn things the fastest, behaviors are most easily shaped and stereotyped. The training during this period, accompanied by the growth of brain cells in the corresponding areas, objectively improved the learning ability very well. Bladder and intestinal control skills develop, and puppies can sleep through the night without "accidents" - penetration.
What adults should do: From 49 to 56 days old, try to increase the area where the puppies can exercise. Several dogs were divided into groups and took turns playing and placing. Puppies kept by adults can stay with other puppies. Maintain contact with other puppies. Each dog continues to be groomed, played and practiced on his own. A person's style should be gentle but restrained. Start training to respond to simple commands such as "sit", "lye", "stand", "come", "walk" and so on.
The fifth stage 3~4 months old
Characteristics: With the establishment of social status, the period when puppies develop a desire for control. Puppies begin to experiment with having their own land. This trend has become bolder. In this era, the body develops very quickly.
What the grower/owner should do: Treat the puppy as you would an independent adult dog. If they are still with their caregivers, they should no longer be kept with other puppies, should sleep alone in a separate den at night, and all training and care should be done alone.
