Four to Six Weeks (Individual Awareness Period)
ОглавлениеBy the time a puppy is four weeks old, she is displaying hints of personality. As she becomes more motivated to socialize and explore, she becomes more independent and begins experimenting with her place in the pack.
A puppy’s pack can consist of not only dogs but also people. One of the earliest indications of a puppy’s pack instinct is her following someone around as soon she can walk. Puppies have an innate urge to bond with others, whether it’s with their littermates or with the breeder. By five weeks of age, a puppy will start demanding attention. She will respond when called and wag her tail when happy.
An exuberant young shiba inu tries to interest an older packmate in a bit of play. Puppies at this age want lots of attention.
