- Researchers have noted that new born pups are immature and under-developed canines that are sensitive to a restricted class of stimuli which includes thermal and tactile stimulation, motion and locomotion. Dr. Battaglia, discusses and demonstrates how to use the five stimulating exercises that give each pup an advantage.

I have performed the early neuro stimulation with each litter I have raised. The benefits are phenomenal. They learn faster and have few or no health problems during their life. I highly recommend breeders to learn about this process and utilize the knowledge.
This works so well thank you
Early Neural Stimulation is a game changer
It really works and super amazing!‼️
Awesome.
We did this to our litter but without a control it makes differential measurement impossible. They are little monsters at 12 weeks now
Evaluating the effect of early neurological stimulation on the development and training of mine detection dogs. By Adee Schoon, Terje GrothBerntsen:
"There was no observed effect of ENS on either the development of the pups when compared with those who were exposed to the standard GTC stimulation program within the same age range or on the later training results of the dogs in their careers as mine detection dogs."
Same study:
"One possible explanation for this may well be within the extremely rich GTC socialization program. All puppies are handled daily and are systematically exposed to extensive environmental stimulation. In addition, even the control pups were held by a human being during exposure of the experimental pups to ENS, thus all the dogs experienced handling, thereby suggesting that both handling and exposure, and not specifically ENS, contribute to the outcomes of testing. . .
The groups that are most likely to provide insufficient stimulation are ‘‘commercial’’ breeders who focus more on turnover rather than on the quality of puppies, including groups that breed dogs for research use, rescue or shelter organizations that may have limited resources, and working dog organizations with limited personnel and resources, and mandates that require production of extremely large numbers of dog. All these groups may benefit from the structure created from performing the ENS exercises with their pups."
Ie: its efficacy may be overstated, but it's not like it's not beneficial, so if it works for you, go for it would be my take. Also, this is one study, not an exhaustive literature search.
Not to say there aren't some rather large and dubiously substantiated claims going on here.
What criteria of observation did you use for the evaluation?
I haven't done this with my litters. I do normal stimulation and handling daily. I use normal house noise, vacuum, music, TV. Lights on early and complete darkness for eye development. I use small boxes and steps for skills and human interaction as well as with my other dogs. The other female and male dogs that I have will discipline and play with the pups. This is similar interaction as a pack. Most people that get my pups have other animals so this is extremely important for fundamental development. My dogs and I must be doing a good job since I have several repeat customers and referrals. Having a strong relationship with your females is 1 of the most important aspects also.
Funny, my pups almost always relax in the supine, and resist the other two positions.
Good
I have been really enjoying doing this with a litter of 12 puppies. When can I find the “ Scientific evidence“ to support this method?
It's already out. That's why the military and the police use this technique.
Wouldn't the obvious question then be,
"Why is this not done with human babies?"
❤️
Is it beneficial to do this occasionally past 16 days?
Guess they don't know or they can't be bothered to answer.
I would say a day or two couldn't possibly matter, but the 3-16 day window they specify, is apparently well researched. Since I started my litter 4 days late, on day 7, I am going to go until day 17, or maybe 18 of their life. No doubt the 3 to 16 day window was an average, can't possibly be an absolute, and can't possibly remain totally unaffected by the researchers beliefs and biases.
Because somebody doesn't answer doesn't mean they can't be bothered. This man is a breeder, a judge, a very busy person who is giving you information during this video for free.
But I will respond to that there are specific time periods for everything in puppies. They have three fear imprint. And you need to be aware of them because you do not want to expose them to anything that would cause a fear reaction during those periods. You should probably research those.
This is done day three two days 16 because that is a period of substantial neurological development.
And as she said if something is an additional stressor like tail docking, you would not want to add the additional stress of this.
Hi my working line GSD PUP is 40 days old, any data on pups over 16 days for the same 5 ENS Techniques ??
What if it's winter, I don't think putting them on cold towels is Good. Won't they get sick?
People like all animals do not get sick from the cold. We catch a germ which makes us sick.
When people live in warm climates they still get sick. That is an old wives tale. Ask any professional.
By the way. STOP Thinking. It doesn’t work for you.
If the dog is already stressed (from the effects of the cold from living outside?) then steps like this shouldn't be conducted. If the puppies are inside (with heat) then what difference does it make what the weather is like?
well they should be inside and during the winter i sure hope you have heat in your home lol
i’m sure breeders know the correct room temperature no matter the season
It seems to me like every one of these "exercises" is just triggering the 3 day old puppies fight or flight response. Doing this is obviously cruel. What is the end goal? The "advantage" it gives was never mentioned. I understand the 4000 year old idea that struggle makes strength, but what exactly is the goal here?
There is a measured response in the health of the dogs. This program is being used by the military and by the police now with their dogs. Much of the question that you ask is address during the video but there are other videos on this that you could research.
Did you not listen to the entire video?
He states what the "end goal" is:
*Stronger heartbeats,
*Stronger heart rates,
*An adrenaline system that moves faster when they need it, and
*More resistance to disease and greater tolerance of stress...
for the rest of their lives.
Puppies at age 3-16 days doesnt have the ability to feel the need to "fight or flight", they cant get scared. Only habituated (if you dont stress them to much and "overload" the neurological system). This is why you do these exercises in this particular window of time :)
