Puppies are born with their eyes and ears closed, so they cannot see or hear. They rely on their sense of smell to find their Momma and her milk. They spend their days the first week just eating and resting.
Week 1
At Week 1 the puppies spend their days eating and resting. Their eye and ears are still closed. When puppies are born they cannot see or hear, 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.

In week 3 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.
