Fear Period

Pups seem to be in a fear period. Not sure why. They are early for this stage but we continue to expose. When dogs get into a fear stage you don't stop exposing. What you do is expose in small doses till its the new norm.

So we will do shorter exposures but more of them. It's a crazy amount of work to take care of these little gremlins needs but their hugs, licks and snuggles are something else!

Here's a gallery taken today.

the pups are gorgeous. They make me melt. But it certainly sounds like a lot of work for you guys.

Beautiful picture. Interesting to hear about how they grow and develop and that they experience 'fear' periods. Thanks for sharing how you manage to address this so the puppies continue to develop in a positive way. You amaze, Darlah.
