Welcome to our Puppies journeys.
ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) Day 3 to Day 16
What does this mean I hear you ask?
ENS was introduced to the US military in 1995 documented by Dr Cameron Battaglia. Early when the brain is forming, we can influence it. Scientific evidence profoundly supporting the findings and their beneficial effects on the dog can support them for the rest of their lives. By stimulating the neurological system and boosting brain development, the benefits are improved stress responses, circulation, a boosted immune system, faster adrenal system, a stronger heart rate and heartbeat.
A holistic approach to beginning our puppies’ first hearts, hands, and educators, The Badass Breeder Way.
ESI (Early Scent Induction) is a part of the ENS program. A dog’s primary sense is sent and by adding early scent, it stands to reason that we improve their performance to help medical alert stimulation (for example diabetes, seizures etc.).
SI (Sound Introduction)
There’s not a lot of sound in a whelping box environment. Exposure by playing sounds of many different descriptions makes them less reactive in older life getting them used to grooming sounds for example clippers, dryers, vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers and everyday life.
MT (Movement and Textile)
The introduction of different surfaces, overhead movement, under and over, unsteady surfaces, rocky services, smooth surface is, sounds under foot Encouraging them and building their confidence and strength.
Selection and allocation will be based on the data recorded (regardless of colour and sex of the puppy) to insure we match your needs. We do, and will always, advocate for all our puppies.
In a holistic approach, I have chosen to follow The Badass Breeder program by Janette from 4E kennels. Completing a short couse in Mentorship and Evaluation program.
