This week the puppies have begun to spend a lot of time outside during the day. The weather is great and mom prefers to be outside with them. Lainey keeps trying to dig them a "den" under our sed so we had to get creative and block off around the entire bottom side of the shed. Then we took our wheel barrow and turned it upside down and propped it up just a bit for an opening so that Lainey would have a "Den" Like she so desperately wanted. Some times they fallow her back inside and spend some time in here but they prefer the outside weather at this time. We are supposed to get lots of rain this week so that will change soon enough.
This is week three of the socialization period. This week the puppies have begun to learn and be shaped by other adult dog in the household. They have begun to teach them important dog manners. This is the week our puppies usually hit what is called a fear period. This period can last only an hour or a few days. We will take extra care to be sure that if they exhibit and fear towards anything we will scale back and individually help them overcome those fears slowly. This is also the week we begin "Mandding" with the puppies. Mandding is a behavior of the puppy sitting when he/she wants something. Its a way for them to communicate with us in a polite way. Its always best to have a dog approach you and sit (without being asked) rather than jumping up on you because they want something. By the end of this week they will all have caught on and will begin expressing this very desirable behavior when they are approached by a human (as long as we have a treat. LOL)

Puppies are all steady on their feet now and are starting to get a little playful. They are doing great with their potty training by using the potty area about 75% of the time. When they don't use their potty area they are using their play area but have stopped eliminating in their sleep area.
This is week two of the socialization period. This week puppies will start on solids and begin the process of weening. First we will being using puppy food soaked in water. By the end of the week they willl be eating the kibble dry and mom will being to feed them less and less. Mom has already started to distance herself a little by spending less time in the box with them. This time will gradually increase over the next 2-3 weeks. Puppies will participate in their first barrier challenge this week. Once they are really interested in their food I will place it behind of barrier of some sort so that they can use their problem solving skills to help work through problems or obstacles.

This past week they have all begun to toddle around really well. Today We will introduce a new bed/sleeping area along with our new pee/pooping area to help start these little ones on a path to easier potty training.
This week puppies leave the transitional period and will enter the socialization period. During this time their ears open and they begin to hear. We will start some sound protocols with them this week. Some of those include listing to classical music, exposing puppies to common "upsetting" appliances such as the vacuum and blow dryer, and doing some startle recovery exercises. For startle recovery exercises we will randomly make sudden unusual noises that may startle the puppies ever so slightly to help shape their emotional responses.

Lainey's name comes from the tv show Sienfield. Lainey is short for Elaine. Because of Lainey's tv personality name and the love her guardian owner has for TV shows she has chosen the theme of her "Favorite Tv People".
Puppies are all doing great. Everyones eyes opened up this past week and they are starting to move around a bit. They had our first venture into the outdoors this week and spent some time being handles my several 3, 4, and 5 year olds (With supervision of course.). Handling by children of this age is a daily accordance here at the Thompson household because we have a built in 4 year old here to help socialize them.
At two weeks of age the puppies leave the neonatal period and enter what is called the transitional period. Traditional period is typically between days 14-21. During this time we will begin to introduce them to a new novel item and or have a new experience daily. These items and experience will help to build a healthy startle/recover/curiosity/and exploration cycle with the puppies to lay the foundation for a confident puppy.

Lainey gave birth to 4 sweet babies on Thursday April 30th. She was a champ and labor and delivery went quick and well. Labor for Lainey was just under 1 hour. That is a record for us here at Magic Valley Goldendoodles. (Granite she did only have 4 puppies. LOL) All puppies look to be wavy but sometimes in the first week or two curl can start to come out so we will wait and see. Lainey has been a great mom. She Settle right in with here babies and is very attentive. She cares for them really well and keeps them nice and clean. We always love it when our new mommas take so well to being a mom.

We gave the puppies their first bath this week. They did great with the water. We will introduce them to a small wadding pool in this coming week with about 1" of water in the bottom. Usually at first they act a little reserved but quickly warm up to the idea and start to romp around. After their bath they had their first little mini grooming. their back sides got trimmed up to help keep them clean and the hair was cut out of the corner of their eyes. Puppies have gotten really fun to watch playing together. Next week instead of pictures I will post some videos of the doing this.
This is week 4 of the socialization period. Puppies have now learned to take food from my hand ad are beginning to "Mand". Every time we feed the puppies we call them with a high pick "here pup, "pup, pup, pup, pup, pup" similar to how you hear people call a kitty. They now have a great recall down and will come any time I call out like this. It is so important to have a good "recall" with a puppy to help keep them from truble. This recall will transition to the dogs name once you have him/her in your home. This week we will introduce the puppies to a crate. They will not be locked in but will have the option of sleeping in it.
