Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)

and

Early Scent Introduction (ESI)

We agree with experts that these are important exercises for a healthier, more intelligent, better dog

That is why we do these exercises to each of our puppies from 3-16 days old.

 Days 3-16 are believed to be a time of rapid neurological growth and development.

ENS

ENS was developed by the US military and known as the "Bio Sensor Program" and later referred to by the public as

the "Super Dog Program". ENS is believed by some experts to enhance the natural abilities of dogs and give them a superior advantage. It involves subjecting puppies aged 3- 16 days to 5 forms of stimulation that lead to "stress" .


 It is said to benefit puppy development in 5 ways:

  • Improved heart rate           
  • Stronger heartbeats           
  • Stronger adrenal glands         
  • Better tolerance to stress         
  •  Greater resistance to disease       


 This is done by doing the following things:

  • Tactical stimulation in stimulating the bottom of the paw pad with a cotton swab
  • Holding the puppy's head up for 3-5 seconds                   
  • Holding the puppy's head down for 3-5 seconds   
  • Hold the puppy on their back for 3-5 seconds   
  • Putting the puppy on its stomach , on a cool towel for 3-5 seconds

ESI

ESI , Early Scent Introduction, is done along side with the ENS training. ESI was designed to enhance the puppy's ability to

identify and react to specific scents. Since a dog can smell  anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 times better than people. Puppies are introduced to a variety of scents from leather, pine cones, and grass to cinnamon, bananas, essential oils and cats,

but no food items or treats.


A study proved that puppies who participated in the ESI (Early Scent Introduction) placed higher in field trials, and accomplish higher placement as much as three years sooner. Dr. Gayle Watkins, a breeder of sporting Golden Retrievers, and over seven years ago, she began testing dogs to determine the effectiveness of ESI. This involved selecting certain puppies from her litters to receive ESI training, and others that would not receive ESI. The results were nothing short of remarkable. The dogs that participated in ESI had more scenting titles than those that did not participate, and they were achieving titles at ages of up to five years younger than the

pups that had not participated.



If doing things as simple as the Early Scent Introduction and Early Neurological Stimulation with our puppies at JUST the

right time in their development can help improve their abilities....we are ready to give them the best start we can!
