Transitioning a one-month-old Great Pyrenees puppy from mother's milk to solid food requires a gradual approach. If the puppy is still with its mother, you can continue nursing about twice a day, or you can wean the puppy directly. If the puppy is not nursing from its mother, provide two daily feedings of a puppy-specific goat milk formula, supplemented with three feedings of puppy food.
Around one month old, the mother's milk may not be sufficient to meet the puppy's growth and development needs. At this stage, introduce commercial puppy food, such as small kibble designed for puppies, nutritional pastes, rehydrated food, or weaning food. If still nursing, you can feed breast milk about twice a day, or directly wean the puppy. If there is no mother dog to feed the puppy, you can feed it with goat milk powder for dogs twice a day, and dog food three times a day. Puppy food should be the main diet, preferably small kibble. Soak the kibble in warm water until it softens, and ensure the temperature is around 37°C before feeding. You can refer to the instructions on the packaging for feeding amounts, but adjust based on your puppy's individual needs. One-month-old puppies are in a period of rapid growth and need to be weighed weekly to adjust the feeding quantity accordingly.
Training Your Great Pyrenees Puppy

Through consistent training, you can help your Great Pyrenees develop a stable and sensible temperament, preventing misbehavior as they mature.
2. If your Great Pyrenees misbehaves, you should address it with timely correction and training. As an owner, it's essential to have a proactive mindset. Obedience training should begin when the puppy is young to prevent future behavioral issues. This approach minimizes troubles and difficulties during the dog's growth.
