A puppy at 12 weeks old

Week 12. Sore gums, new cues, and the second round of vaccines.

Teething

Baby teeth start to fall out around now. Frozen washcloths and soft rubber toys help.

Second vaccines

The second combination shot lands this week or next. Sleepiness for a day is normal.

New cues

Sit and touch, in the kitchen, for a piece of kibble each.
