Puppies generally stand by day 15 and take their first wobbly walk by day 21. By age three weeks, puppy development advances from the neonatal period to the transitional period. This is a time of rapid physical and sensory development, during which the puppies go from total dependence on Mom to a bit of independence.
This instinct ensures that they remain warm and that they drink colostrum. Puppies who fail to nurse shortly after birth may need assistance nursing so that they receive the benefits of this early breast milk. Puppies should nurse approximately every two hours for their first two weeks of life. Newborn puppies spend the majority of their time sleeping or nursing.
