Step 1 in our Dachshund Palace Puppy Raising Program is ENS. (Early Neurological Stimulation)

The first 3 weeks of your puppy’s life is an important time of rapid neurological growth and development, this is a key component for a well-behaved, confident and socialized dog.

The U.S. Military canine unit developed this system in an effort to improve the performance of dogs used for military purposes.

Later, this 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.

Military studies confirmed that there are specific periods of time early in a puppy’s life when neurological stimulation has optimal results. The first period involves a window of time that begins at the third day of life and lasts until the sixteenth day.

TACTILE STIMULATION

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 its tail. Time of stimulation 3 – 5 seconds.
3. Head pointed down – holding the pup firmly with both hands, the head is reversed and is pointed downward so that it is pointing towards the ground. Time of stimulation 3 – 5 seconds.
4. Supine position – hold the pup so that its back is resting in the palm of both hands with its muzzle facing the ceiling. The pup is allowed to sleep while on it’s back. Time of stimulation 3-5 seconds.

5. Thermal stimulation – use a damp towel that has been cooled in a refrigerator for at least five minutes. Place the pup on the towel, feet down. Do not restrain it from moving. Time of stimulation 3-5 seconds.
