Grace 12/23/24 – Week 4 Pupdate
At this stage of their life, physical exercise is critical to their development. Studies have shown just how important it is for them to get lots of physical exercise as it actually causes their brain to grow larger than those that do not get adequate exercise. Their pen area has doubled in size and they really enjoy running around our house as they play and interact with our family.
They continue to be presented with new toys and obstacles to aid in their enrichment training. We continue to optimize the training opportunity during the critical window. They are introduced to new situations and we have been working with their startle reflex. It is important during this window they develop the ability to be startled and are able to recover quickly. Recovering quickly helps them mature into confident dogs that can handle new and challenging situations.
