A study from the University of Arizona and Canine Companions found that how mother dogs care for their puppies during the first three weeks affects the puppies' behavior later in life. Puppies raised by attentive mothers tend to be more social with humans, while those with less maternal care may develop better independence.
Key Facts
Researchers studied 235 puppies from 59 litters using video recordings of mother-puppy interactions.
Maternal behaviors observed included nursing, grooming, physical contact, and proximity.
Puppies with mothers who gave more care were more likely to be socially engaged with people.
Some puppies with less maternal care showed stronger independent problem-solving skills.
Early maternal care influenced puppies’ emotional responses, like fearfulness or impulse control.
High maternal care may cause puppies to form strong bonds but also be more sensitive to separation.
These early effects can change over time with training and socialization.
The findings help understand how early life experiences shape future dog behavior and suitability for roles like service work.
