EARLY Neurological Stimulation - Page 2

Doting mommy......

Cool and damp as opposed to cold and wet, but I guess that's just your perspective. 

It has always amazed me that puppies remember so well.  One of our Dobies we sold to a lady trucker, and he grew up on the road with her. We talked to her on phone here and there, but hadn't seen the pup since we sold him at 9 weeks.  One night we ran into her at the store and she told us she had retired off the truck and asked if we wanted to come see him.  She said, "I can't guarantee how friendly he will be, he's very protective of me".   We walk in and he gives us the once over, then I said, "puppypuppypuppy" like I used to call them to feed them or herd them in or out of the puppy pen.   His ears went UP and he raced out of the room and came back with his toy and ran and dropped it in my lap. He was ready to play!  Then I guess that triggered him to remember Steve, too. Then he was all wiggly-butt for him too.

I've done ENS on four litters, including two control groups for each (entire litters before and after, same parents, rather than portions of litters). I've noticed no difference of improvement, in fact, one litter without ENS was hands down the best of three from the same parent combination. I'm convinced there are more effective windows of opportunity to take advantage of.

Yes this was done with Astra and Jami, it made for easier training.

I should hope anyone breeding dogs will handle them a great deal, heck, each one of my kids take a pup
and sit with it in their lap away from the mom, they get alot of stimulation, you just can't let the mom see you walk in the
other room with the pupsometimes when the mom comes over looking concerned, it helps her to trust us, that we
will return the pup unharmed, hopefully

What also helps is the on going weekend warriors fixing up the house and finishing up on different projects that

require the use of nailguns & power saws, one guy said when he brought his puppy home it was already bullet proofed,

nothing bothered the pup, !  And that was a litter of labs I had ......
