The pups are doing great, all are gaining weight. BioSensor exercises have been started on day 3 and will continue through day 16. The pups immune systems and nervous systems are triggered into development by introducing mild stressors to the pups at this age. The exercises were developed and first used in guide dog programs. The idea is to stimulate the growth of neuro patterns earlier to promote a better ability to learn and to develop a more resilent immune system.
The exercises involved holding the pup in various positions, head up, cradle, head down, tickling one foot with a q tip, placing all four feet on a chilled wash cloth for 2-5 seconds at a time. The pups were not phased by this and most relaxed easily over time.
