A puppy spends about fourteen hours of every day sleeping.
Puppies develop their sense of smell at the age of three weeks
During the first week of a puppies life, it spends 90% of its days sleeping and 10% eating. A lot of growth happens during these first few weeks!

Every year in the United States, more than 5 million puppies are born.
By the age of one, a puppy is considered to be an adult. Comparing a puppy of this age to a human, a puppy is physically as mature as a fifteen year old human
Puppies are born blind, deaf, and toothless.
The first two to three weeks are usually the hardest. The puppy will begin to move around and open his eyes. He will know his Mom and her smell.
Four months brings the teenage stage. He will go through hormonal changes and have an even lesser desire to do what you say. He will also go through teething. Always have something cold, if possible, for the pup to chew on. This stage ends at six months which is the perfect time to spay or neuter.
At three months, the puppy will be more independent every day. He will challenge you by not doing the simple commands he already knows. He will wait to play wrestle and even if you win, the puppy will still think it is alright to fight with you which can lead to other bad behaviors down the road.

Once they get to eight weeks, some puppies hit a fearful time. Things they used to be accustomed to now terrify them. Do not yell or scream at the puppy or isolate him during this time. This is the time to teach simple behaviors such as sit and stay.
