I have 3 week (+4 days) pup that I handle for 10 minutes a day or so. starting about a week ago, whenever I pup the pup back, and sometimes even a little while after, the mom would chase the pup and the pup would squeak rapidly. Now, the pup has started rearing up and pressing on the mother's muzzle, they will freeze, and then continue running around. afterwards, the pup goes to a corner and 'sulks.' if it sees the mom, it will rear up. The pup presses on the dad's muzzle too, but he's fine with it and they both get along swimmingly (strangely enough). Has the pup developed an intolerance towards the mother or is it just exercising dominance behavior (it really likes gnawing on lentils so i guess that means its developing well)? They sleep at night together though.
