Dog Life Stage
During this period, the dog acquires a lot of muscular and skeletal mass, getting ready for puberty. Between the 18th and the 20th week approximately, the milk teeth fall off and their permanent teeth appear. This process marks the end of the childhood in a definite way.
Dogs constantly experiment different social conducts and they may even begin to test some sexual behaviors, trying to get on top of cushions, other animals or humans. They can also set competitive games (of strength, possession, etc.) aimed to find out what is the dominant dog. They learn to express their feelings through the games and also to assume (and find out) their own social status. At this age, it's very usual for the puppies to begin showing themselves strangely fearful, expressing their fear to objects or people they are already familiarized with. Under this circumstances, if this apprehension stays of goes away will depend on the owner's reaction. Forcing the dog to face its fears can provoke the perpetuation of this fear. dog training collar review
