Puppy Neurological Stimulation

Between the pups 3rd and 16th days of life we will introduce them to neurological stimulation. This is a period of rapid neurological growth and development, and therefore is of great importance to the puppies. Not all breeders do this, however they should!

Benefits of Stimulation

Five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed to the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises. The benefits noted were:

· Stronger heart beats

· Stronger adrenal glands

· More tolerance to stress

· Greater resistance to disease

· Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate)

In tests of learning, stimulated pups were found to be more active and were more exploratory than their non-stimulated littermates over which they were dominant in competitive situations.
Secondary effects were also noted regarding test performance. In simple problem solving tests using detours in a maze, the non-stimulated pups became extremely aroused, whined a great deal, and made many errors. Their stimulated littermates were less disturbed or upset by test conditions and when comparisons were made, the stimulated littermates were more calm in the test environment, made fewer errors and gave only an occasional distress when stressed.
