Super Puppy Exercises
It is believed that this Early Neurological Stimulation enhances a
puppy's development. Originally called the "Bio Sensor"
program, these exercises were developed by the U.S. military for
their canine training programs to give the dogs a superior
advantage. Their studies confirmed that there are specific time
periods early in life when neurological stimulation has optimum
results. Days 3 to 16 are one of those time periods.
The exercises (done for 3 to 5 seconds each) involve handling
the puppies one at a time while performing a series of five
exercises. The handler starts with one pup and stimulates it
using each of the five exercises. The handler completes the
series from beginning to end before starting with the next pup.
These five exercises will produce neurological stimulations, none
of which naturally occur during this early period of life.
Experience shows that sometimes pups will resist these
exercises, others will appear unconcerned. In either case a
caution is offered to those who plan to use them. Do not repeat
them more than once per day and do not extend the time beyond
that recommended for each exercise. Over-stimulation of the
neurological system can have adverse and detrimental results.
These exercises impact the neurological system by kicking it into
action earlier than would be normally expected. The result being
an increased capacity that later will help to make the difference
in its performance. Those who play with their pups and routinely
handle them should continue to do so because the neurological
exercises are not substitutions for routine handling, play
socialization or bonding.
Five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed
to the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises.
The benefits noted were:
1. Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate)
2. Stronger heart beats
3. Stronger adrenal glands
4. More tolerance to stress and
5. Greater resistance to disease.
1. Tactical stimulation (between toes)
2. Head held erect
3. Head pointed down
4. Supine position
5. Thermal stimulation (place on cool damp cloth)
