Inside the Puppy Pen – Day 18

This morning’s video was just too cute not to share—even if it was before the puppy bedding got changed out. Please excuse the little bit of morning mess, but I think you’ll agree it’s worth it.

The Herb Litter is starting to wrestle and play with one another! You’ll see some tiny barks, a little bit of toddling, and those wobbly but determined legs really getting underneath them now. It’s such a sweet stage—they’re learning balance, practicing coordination, and beginning to show the very first glimpses of their little personalities through play.

This kind of early social interaction is important for their development. Wrestling and play-barking help puppies learn bite inhibition, communication skills, and even start building the confidence they’ll carry with them into the world.

Watching these little ones figure out how to be puppies is the best way to start the day. 💛

🌟 Fun Fact: Did you know that puppies actually learn a lot of their first “manners” from their littermates? When one puppy bites too hard, the other will yelp and stop playing. This teaches bite inhibition naturally—an essential skill that helps them later when they’re learning how to interact with people and other dogs!
