Puppy Raising Methods

From research done by the U.S. Military Canine Program, we know that the period of time between day 3 through 16 is the most crucial window of time for the rapid neurological growth and development in puppies, and therefore is of great importance to the individual. For these first few days, these very young puppies eyes are closed and they are only able to suck, smell, and crawl. To encourage our puppies neurological growth and development, we follow a program created by the military called “Bio-Sensor” or later termed “Super Puppy” training which according to studies will give dogs a superior advantage in life.

Documented Benefits of Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS):
  • Improved cardio vascular performance
  • Stronger heart beats
  • Stronger adrenal glands
  • More tolerance to stress
  • Greater resistance to disease
     Tests proved these “Super Puppies” were found to be more active and more exploratory than non-stimulated puppies. It was also noted that the non-stimulated pups became extremely aroused, whined, and made many errors. The puppies that received ENS were less upset by test conditions. They found the ENS puppies were calmer, made fewer errors and gave only an occasional distress sound when stressed.
     Starting on day 5 – 16, I perform these neurological stimulation for all of my puppies. I follow the Bio Sensor Workout, which includes the following 5 exercises for 3-5 seconds. These exercises will produce neurological stimulation, none of which naturally occur at this early stage in the puppy's life.
ENS Workout:
  • Tactical stimulation (between toes)
  • Head held erect
  • Head pointed down
  • Supine Position (on back)
  • Thermal stimulation

Puppy Socialization: From day 16 until the day the puppy goes home, I begin working daily on socialization skills by following the Puppy Culture Method with all of our puppies. I strive to raise puppies that are well adjusted and exposed to as many situations as possible. The puppies are “loved on” by people of all ages. We introduce all of our puppies to our dogs & our cat, Silas. I constantly add different obstacles/or objects in the "puppy palace" during the puppies young lives. This encourages the puppies to explore their surroundings and challenge themselves. you can find more information about ENS and Puppy Culture by following the links below.
