Inside the Puppy Pen, Day 13 — Easter Litter

The puppies are growing so nicely and getting stronger every day. Their eyes are open now, their ears are beginning to open, and you can really see them starting to notice the world around them.

At this stage, we keep classical music playing most of the time. It creates a calm environment for them, and studies have shown it can actually help dogs relax and settle.

We’re also continuing daily sound exposure. Along with normal household noises, we introduce a variety of sounds, including some louder ones, in a very controlled way. The goal is to help these sounds become familiar now, so they don’t feel scary later in life.

This is such an important window for development, and every little experience we give them now helps shape confident, well-adjusted puppies down the road.
