Thank you to my brother and decoy, Jonathan Navarro of Iron Dog Kennels, for all the advice and helper work as well as allowing me to use his training facility. I love the artificial turf, makes working dogs so much easier.

Fatman not so fat anymore
Usually I like training dogs one on one, but a little multitasking never hurt
I recently got me a working line puppy bred by Bangalore K9, she's a fantastic little female. Here I am using 2 older dogs that belong to clients to help bring out my little girl with her bitework.

Neurostimulation
Excerpt from online article via https://breedingbetterdogs.com/article/early-neurological-stimulation
[
The U.S. Military in their canine breeding 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 because 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 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:
1) Tactile stimulation - 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. Time of stimulation 3 - 5 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
