I have two puppies (wiemeraner mix) and they are brother and sister. They are almost 4 months old and are getting big. They always want to play fight with each other, which is fine, but it often turns too rough or even bloody. I understand they are puppies and are full of energy, but I just don’t want to see one get hurt. How do I discourage this behavior with out making them think “play fighting” is bad?

Once puppies eyes start to open, how long does it take for them to fully open?

Originally my foster dog, but now my adopted dog had puppies 10 days ago. She had two puppies we are keeping as well. The puppies eyes began to open just a slit last night, and I was wondering how long before they fully open.

How do I get my puppies to last through the night?

I’m crate training and everything seems to be going smoothly until nighttime. I have two puppies almost 4 mos. Every 3-4 hours I have been getting up and bringing them downstairs (separatly) to go potty. (12:30, 3:30, and we are up for the day at 5:30am) This is beginning to wear me out. If I ignore it they cry and howl for more than 40 minutes and I can’t stand it. Aren’t I getting them into the habit of going every 3-4 hours and how do I lengthen that time?

The puppies are Cavalier King Charles Spaniel purebreds, and on’s male, one’s female. If you have any tips on crate training, obedience training, or even just day-to-day life, anything would help before we pick them up on Thursday when they’re 8 weeks old.
