Space Puppies! Living with the Little Alien in your home

Post by: Habibi Bears in All, Puppy Care, Training Corner, puppy behavior

What do you think of when you hear the words Space Aliens? Do you picture little green men with big black eyes and flying saucers? Or maybe Droids like Star Wars? No matter what images come to mind, it helps us to remember that our wonderful Habibi Bear puppies are a type of alien in our homes, having come into our world on a mission of love, peace, and good will. Let me explain.

It is easy to forget that our loving little Habibi Bear guys and gals have just made the ultimate trip to planet Earth after a relatively short gestational period of 58-68 days. That’s only a little over two months! Puppies are born both blind and deaf, with their little eyes sealed shut, with only their mouths and a sense of smell to guide them. When they are three weeks old, they attain the ability to see and hear, are able to move around better, and begin to be able to eliminate waste without mommy’s help via stimulation. 

Play and socialization at four weeks and onward is what teaches our Habibi Bear puppies what the world is all about, and being dogs, they discover the world through their mouths, not having hands like humans. The second most important sense for puppy is also the one that they relied on most to survive: the sense of smell. It helped puppy find their way to food when they had no sight, and that sense of smell led their mouths to the location of the food. Puppies love to lick, bite and nibble because that is how they learn and experience the world around them and it is an important part of their development. 

It always amazes me how much these precious babies will try to do for us out of love! At only ten or twelve weeks of being out of their “Mother” Ship, here they are, trying their very best to follow our commands to keep quiet, stay nicely in a crate, and potty on command without knowing our language. That is astonishing when you consider they have only been alive for less than six months! 

When we realize that we have little living creatures who experience the world with different appendages and organs and abilities it is very much like having an alien in your home, and a need arises to find a common language that both can understand to be able to live in peace and harmony. We need to find a way to communicate clearly and consistently not to bite, what to eat, and where to eliminate so that everyone can cohabitate nicely. We need to honor our Habibi Bear puppies nature by being the very best Pack Leader we can be, by building a relationship of trust and reliability. When we build a relationship of trust and communicate clearly, our Habibi Bear puppy is able to grant your request because they know and feel that love radiating from you, and they can, with guidance, do what you ask. If you need help, we got you covered with our amazingPup Start program to get you and puppy speaking the same language, setting you both up for a life of good times and great memories.

Habibi Bears Owner Adoption Questionnaire


Choosing a dog can be a difficult process, and personality, natural inclinations and gifts has to be taken into consideration.
We want you and your puppy to be a match made in heaven! This is why this Owner Questionnaire has been designed, to help us pair you up with exactly the right puppy for your family.

Can I choose my puppy?  
Ultimately we work together on this process, so we can recommend the best options for your needs.  
Puppies are like babies – they eat, they play and then they spend a lot of time sleeping. In fact, they are very likely to be asleep just when you are trying to decide which one is right for you. Because we raise your puppy as part of our family, we get to see them when they are wide awake and their personality is showing itself. We also keenly observe their behavior, and conduct assessments at such times that help us further understand their character.

How will the Questionnaire help me get the right puppy?
Our assessment records many different traits, reactions and learning/healing style of our puppies so we can get to know who they are and their individual strengths and weaknesses.  Some traits are stable some are changeable, meaning environment plays a huge part.  This can be determined as a puppy, and each temperament has homes and lifestyles that suit them best.  By understanding your home life and family needs, we can match you to the perfect fit!
