Puppy Strange Habits And Worries

You may be worrying about your puppy's strange habits but in fact they are nothing to be worried about and not strange at all. Here are few normal habits that could seem worrying to you.

Puppies will usually hiccup after they have food its nothing to be concerned about and they'll grow out of it when they get to adulthood. Your puppy will have Frenetic Random Activity Periods (FRAP), two or more times in a day. This is basically when you puppy will run around your house, chase its tail, bark, jump on people and furniture, and generally play about having fun. These bursts of energy will only last up to about five minutes and your pup should grow out of this stage quite quickly.

Your puppy will lie down in the 'flying frog' position (their back legs stretched out behind them and their front legs straight ahead of them). They may also be attracted to the porcelain cover of your bolt that holds the toilet to the floor (if their safe area is in the bathroom). All this is perfectly normal behaviour and should be treated accordingly.
