Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
Early Neurological Stimulation is done starting 3 days after the puppies are born and continuing until day 16. The process consists of 5 simple and harmless exercises, which are: tactile stimulation, lying in the supine position, held with head held up, tilted upside down, and thermal stimulation. ENS has shown to be effective in improved cardio performance, stronger heartbeat strength, and increased adrenal production. Studies also point to increased stress tolerance and improved immune response, leading to better disease resistance. It was developed by the military and known as the 'super dog program', in order to improve the performance of working dogs.
Early Scent Introduction (ESI)
Early Scent Introduction is done starting 3 days after birth and continues till day 16. A variety of scents is introduced to the puppy each day for short intervals. By introducing scents to each puppy it helps prepare them to be working dogs for example: hunting dogs, tracking dogs, gluten alert dogs, and diabetic alert dogs.
Besides service dogs that may need a great sense of smell, ESI can also help prepare puppies that are going to be family companions. By introducing them to these scents from a young age, we are preparing them to come into your home where they often will encounter scents like household smells, animal smells, and nature smells.
Sight & Sound
From the very beginning, we introduce our puppies to sound training, gradually exposing them to different noises at low volumes and increasing the intensity over the course of 8 weeks. These include sounds like sirens, trains, construction equipment, babies crying, doorbells, barking dogs, loud bangs, fireworks, vacuum cleaners, city noises, laughter, children, classical music, and more. We also ensure they are exposed to a variety of sights and environments to help them adapt. At 3 weeks old, we safely introduce new objects into their whelping box, and by 4 to 5 weeks, we begin socializing them with a range of people. As they grow, we start transitioning them from the whelping box to different spaces, providing them with new experiences that will help them thrive in their future homes.
