49th day of age, 7 weeks. This is a scientific fact. Dr. J. Paul Scott , social psychologist and a director of the Animal Behavior Laboratory at Hamilton Station of the Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Laboratory conducted a project to help Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. in their dog training program. During the project Dr. Scott discovered we can distinguish five critical periods of a dog’s life and all of them take place before puppy is sixteen weeks old. The fourth critical period is the time when you should take your puppy home. At forty nine days the puppy’s brain has the form of an adult dogs brain even though it’s physically immature. When you take the puppy away from his mother and litter you become in a dog’s eyes his actual mother. This is the best time to establish strong dog-human relationships. Once the puppy notices that you give him food and take care of him you have a powerful bond that will become stronger and stronger once you start his training.
