Puppies are now able to eat dry food. The mother feeds them only 2 or 3 times a day while standing. It is time to stop breast feeding; the mother will manage this on her own. Puppies develop facial expression and more coordinated movements.

Game time. Dominance and hierarchy games prevail. Mother and other pack members participate in the games. This time is very important for proper and balanced emotional development of puppies. Premature separation from mother and siblings (before 49 days old) results in poor social and emotional behaviour in an adult dog.

Beginning of week 6 is the early socialisation stage. Most noticeable change of behaviour is puppies‘ reaction to the presence of humans and other dogs, as well as of other animals. For breeders, it is still important not to neglect anything in this period. Puppies need contact with people, children, dogs and other domestic animals to develop into socially balanced dogs able to communicate and make contact.
