Is anyone using this program?

If so- what are your impressions of it? Are you using an alternative program? What puppy raising techniques are you employing to best prepare working dogs?
Thanks!

i have been using early neurological stimulation on pups for years...pups are more calmer ..stronger nerves..more inquisitive..more self assured and confident...much easier to rear..i find it hard to believe that anyone breeding..... does'nt use this technique..

I use it also. Pups are incredibly stable, intelligent and well balanced.

The breeder for my pup uses it and his dogs are unshakable. I recommended this to Shandra and I think she said she used it, but not sure.
In the old days didn't they call this "letting the kids hold the puppies"?

This is very interesting - I did not know that there was a name to what I thought was natural to do. In raising pups & kittens over the past 25 years, I have always made sure to handle them each day and find that I was doing uncannily similar exercises with them. I will pay closer attention to the 3-5 second timing in the future but have always raised pups & kittens that were not fearful, playful, inquisitive and very well adjusted. I would say that this program is definately a major point in raising well adjusted animals.
And yes allabout, I do believe that's what they used to call it. As children we were always encouraged to handle the pups or kittens and found it not only good for the animals but also for the kids...
I enjoyed reading this article immensly, thank you auntievenom for posting it.
