Yesterday we started the Bio-Sensor program with each puppy. The program consists of five simple exercises lasting between three and five seconds long and is administered once a day. The program introduces the puppies to controlled stress at a young age which results in adult dogs that recover from stress faster, have improved immune systems, improved heart function and greater social skills. The five exercises are holding the puppy in a head straight up position, holding them in a head straight down position, holding them on their back, stimulating toes with a Q-tip and exposing them to a temperature change by placing the puppy on a cold towel. The duration starts at 3 seconds for each puppy and increase to 5 seconds by the end of the fourteen day program. More information on the program can be found in Jerry Hope's book "The Breeder's Guid to Raising Superstar Dogs."
