5. Emergency handling
If a bite has occurred:

6. Long-term social training
The pups start after 3 weeks of age:
•Smell exchange: Use a towel to wipe the female dog and cub
•Eat together: Keep a distance of 1 meter and feed simultaneously
•Positive reinforcement: Reward immediately whenever the female dog is allowed to contact
According to follow-up survey by animal behaviorists, the duration of puppies protected by systematically trained can be reduced by 60% without affecting the parent-child relationship.
If the problem lasts for more than 4 weeks, it is recommended to contact a professional dog trainer for behavioral correction. Remember, protecting your baby is essentially a manifestation of maternal love and needs to be understood rather than suppressed.
