What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Each puppy is held daily. My kids and grandkids come and visit and occasionally my niece(s). They go outside and hear and see the sounds of the outdoors. Bio Sensor is also applied. - See below... From: "Developing High Achievers" by Dr. Carmen Battaglia May 1995 AKC Gazette The U.S. Military in their canine program developed a method that still serves as a guide to what works. In an effort to improve the performance of dogs used for military purposes, a program called "Bio Sensor" was developed. Later, it became known to the public as the "Super Dog" Program. Based on years of research, the military learned that early neurological stimulation exercises could have important and lasting effects. Their studies confirmed that there are specific time periods early in life when neurological stimulation has optimum results. The first period involves a window of time that begins at the third day of life and lasts until the sixteenth day. It is believed that this interval of time is a period of rapid neurological growth and development, and therefore is of great importance to the individual. The "Bio Sensor" program was also concerned with early neurological stimulation in order to give the dog a superior advantage. Its development utilized six exercises, which were designed to stimulate the neurological system. Each workout involved handling puppies once each day. The workouts required handling them one at a time while performing a series of five exercises. Listed in no order of preference the handler starts with one pup and stimulates it using each of the five exercises. The handler completes the series from beginning to end before starting with the next pup. The handling of each pup once per day involves the following exercises: . I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized in new places, Scent introduction, "No" Biting or Chewing, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Sound Stimulation, Household Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Grooming Desensitization, Touch Desensitization, Toys, e.g. Ball, Scents, Structures, e.g. Climbing, Strangers, Chew, e.g. Bone, Noises , Texture Stimulation, Various Surfaces , Noise desensitized , Outdoors (when Weather permits), and also have lots of friends and family who come over to handle the puppies and help out with the puppies daily. I do not take them to public places to expose them to people as they are not fully vaccinated until 16 weeks. .
