ENS and ESI with our Finding Nemo Litter 💙
Early Neurological Stimulation is a very important to start doing with puppies at 3 days old up until they are 16 days old.
We start out by holding the puppy upright, then on their backs, then upside down. We then place them on a cold mat. After, we take a cue tip and tickle in between their toes. We also do Early Scent Introduction (ESI) which helps enhance they puppies mental and physical development. Puppies respond was either a positive (they smelled the scent and were interested), negative (they pulled their head away immediately), or neutral (they just kind of sat there, didn’t smell it but didn’t turn their head away).
We do both ENS and ESI at such a young age because it not only builds a stronger cardiac system and adrenal response which helps them deal with stressers easier as they get older, but it also also boosts their immune systems. Overall our goal is to have confident and healthy puppies!

ENS and ESI with the Golden Puppies.
Read below on why we do this ❤️
I started the video a little late but the 1st ens exercise was already completed (head held erect)
ESI:
“Early Scent Introduction (ESI) is done in conjunction with the ENS training. ESI is designed to enhance puppy's ability to identify and react to specific scents. Fun Fact, the area in a dog's brain that processes data picked up by the nose is 40 times larger than in a human brain. So, we could say that a dog’s ability to smell is a function of their intellect. “
ENS:
“ 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 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

Oh Pixar 😂
This girl sure knows how to make people laugh 💗
Oogie will be visiting his Marine in just two weeks, which means he will get to go on his first airplane!
Service dogs typically need to be put in down stays and then recalled through the metal detectors at the airports.
Oogie got to practice this today at Graftons Police Department.
Thank you so much Village of Grafton Police Department for allowing us to come and train for a short time.
Stay tuned for some travel pictures and videos of our sweet Oogie!
(Crush also attended to get use to the noises)
