DAY 1

In a couple of days we will start Early Neurological Stimulation, commonly referred to as ENS, with the pups and I wanted to explain a little more about that. We do this on days 3-16 of the puppies lives to improve cardio vascular performance (heart rate), stronger heart beats, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerance to stress, and greater resistance to disease.

The five exercises are as follows. The duration of each of the five exercises is 5-10 seconds and done for 16 days.


1. Tactical stimulation
 (between toes)

Holding the pup in one hand, the handler gently stimulates (tickles) the pup between the toes on any one foot using a Q-tip. It is not necessary to see that the pup is feeling the tickle.
Also pinching the toes and paws gently.Time of stimulation 5-10 seconds
2. Head held erect

Using both hands, the pup is held perpendicular to the ground, (straight up), so that its head is directly above its tail. This is in an upwards position.

Time of stimulation 5-10 seconds
3. Head pointed down

Holding the pup firmly with both hands the head is reversed and is pointed downward so that it is pointing towards the ground.

Time of stimulation 5-10 seconds
4. Supine position

Hold the pup so that its back is resting in the palm of both hands with its muzzle facing the ceiling. The pup while on its back is allowed to struggle. While also rubbing all parts of the pups body with your fingers.

Time of stimulation 5-10 seconds
5. Thermal stimulation

Use a damp towel that has been cooled in a refrigerator for at least five minutes. Place the pup on the towel, feet down. Do not restrain it from moving.

Time of stimulation 5-10 seconds
