Week 1
At Week 1 the puppies sleep nearly 90 percent of the time. When they're awake they are usually nursing. All their energy is centered on growing. Their eyes and ears are still closed, so they rely on their sense of smell to find their Momma and her milk.

Week 2
This second week of life brings great changes for the puppies. Their ears and eyes, sealed since birth, begin to open, or will open soon. This gives them a new sense of their world. They learn what their mother and other dogs look and sound like, and they begin to expand their own vocabulary from grunts and mews to yelps, whines and barks.

This week the puppies are rapidly changing in their physical and sensory development. They are beginning to be less dependent on their momma and learning more about their environment. They are starting to be able to control their need to potty and begin moving away from where they sleep to eliminate.
