While the mental needs of your puppy are still low because it needs many rest, his ability to learn is important.
The lessons he learns through observation are essential and must be positive.
Both from the environment than what you teach.
Try to learn something every time you spend time with your puppy.
These moments must be positive and guided.
If your puppy is not well monitored, it will put more in compromising situations and will be constantly reprimanded, which is neither fun nor positive person.
Your learning sessions should be short.
It is exhausting for a puppy to learn.
They try to live in a human world, this means that none of their “dog skills” apply (rough play, biting objects, protect its food, etc).
Learn new rules while losing old habits must be assimilated gradually.
Let your puppy rest during frequent breaks.
Thus it will be more focused on learning sessions (which should be short).
A tired puppy is not focused to learn anything.
At his age, exploration is guided more by curiosity than instinct (e.g. hunting instinct).
This should not cause recurring problems at this stage.
However, for safety, it is best to plan ahead and monitor your puppy when he explores.
Physical Needs A short walk around the block is enough for a puppy.
If you walk too long, your puppy sits and refuses to continue.
You will just take it in your arms to go home!
So take short walks and walk slowly.
Do not take your puppy with you when you jog and do not expect him to follow you a long time.
Run a little on grass or soft surface cannot harm him but avoid hard surfaces until your puppy is 1 year.
Their bones are still growing so do not risk hurting him during its growth.
For a puppy, one or two steps and a small race day are sufficient for its physical needs.
Know that they are different by race; adjust them.
