Most mother dogs instinctively know how to care for their puppies once they're born.
Their first interaction will be to lick and clean each puppy as it appears, and will continue as each pup emerges. Nursing is another motherhood endeavor that should come naturally to most mom dogs and her little of pups.
After all, wild animals routinely nurse their young with no issues, right? Occasionally, though, a mother dog won't do what she needs to and will need help to boost up her maternal instinct and we don't always see how those animal moms in nature fare day in and day out, like we do with our pets.

Some first-time puppy mothers aren't sure what to do with the tiny, squirming bundles they're presented with after whelping. This may be the result of inexperience or something more serious, such as a calcium deficiency.Sometimes, a dog who has had a cesarean section will need help to begin nursing.
She may be sore from surgery or groggy from anesthesia. In most of these cases, a bit of encouragement is all that's needed to spark her maternal instinct.
If the mother dog is attached to her owners, it might make sense to relocate the family to be closer to her human companions.
This can encourage her to stay with the puppies instead of leaving the whelping box to search for her owners. They'll stay warm, and it will help stimulate her maternal instincts as well.
