At Justine's Retrievers and Doodles, we will spend hour upon hour using techniques and individualized training that will help make your puppy a wonderful addition to your family.  Because we have a passion for raising well balanced puppies, we have implemented several protocols into our program. Getting your new puppy started right is literally a 24 hour job.  We take our commitment to sending our puppies home prepared very seriously.  Your puppy will start their ENS (early neurological stimulation) and ESI (early scent introduction) at just 3 days old.

​

Early neurological stimulation (ENS) and early scent introduction (ESI) are two important practices that can have a significant impact on a puppy's development and future behavior. Here are some of the benefits of each:

​

1. Early neurological stimulation: ENS is a process that involves performing a series of gentle exercises on a puppy from birth to 14 days old. These exercises are designed to stimulate the puppy's neurological system and help them develop a stronger immune system, better stress tolerance, and improved overall health. Here are some of the benefits of ENS:

​

• Improved cardiovascular performance

• Stronger immune system

• Improved stress tolerance

• Improved ability to handle new environments and experiences

• Improved learning ability and problem-solving skills

• Improved overall health and well-being

​

Early scent introduction: ESI involves exposing a puppy to a variety of different scents from an early age, typically between 3 and 16 days old. The goal is to help the puppy develop a strong sense of smell and to become familiar with different scents that they may encounter in the future. Here are some of the benefits of ESI:

​

• Improved sense of smell

• Improved ability to detect and recognize different scents

• Improved ability to track scents

• Reduced anxiety and stress in new environments

• Improved overall behavior and temperament

• Overall, both ENS and ESI can have a significant impact on a puppy's development and future behavior. By providing early and appropriate stimulation and exposure, breeders and owners can help their puppies grow into healthy, happy, and well-adjusted adult dogs. However, it is important to note that these practices should be done under the guidance of a veterinarian or experienced breeder, as they require specialized knowledge and expertise to be performed correctly.
