In order to produce the most emotionally and socially well-rounded puppies, we implement early neurological stimulation which doubles as the adopted starting point of puppy culture. 

ENS consists of five basic exercises that are done daily for the first two weeks of life (starting on day three of life). They are very simple exercises to do that  all involve handling the puppies and exposing them to various stimulus so they can gain early exposure. 

Puppy culture is a program that was developed by Jane Killion, a dog trainer and show breeder. It's an organized program based on classical conditioning with detailed videos that you can watch, study, and implement into your own puppy raising process. 

 To read more about puppy culture I wrote a more in-depth blog you can find at the bottom of the home page. You can also go to https://shoppuppyculture.com/ if you'd like to continue your puppy's puppy culture training structurally after they've left us. 

This program continues through the 12th week of life and is a critical time for setting that foundation.
