Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
These exercises produce neurological stimulations which don’t occur naturally during this early period of life. Done once a day, benefits bring improved cardio-vascular performance, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerance to stress and greater resistance to disease.
Stimulated pups have been found to be more active, exploratory and calmer with simple problem-solving tests.

Learning the words 'Come' and 'Sit'
At Aamberdell we endeavour to give our pups the very best start in life.
It's important for life long effective communication between you and your pup to teach the skills that enable the pup to 'have a voice' and communicate with you, so at Aamberdell we teach them to 'mand'. They will sit and look at you without command and wait for you to pay attention to them.
In this video. Litter E are learning to mand for treats and attention. During the video their litter mates are doing their best to distract, but the pup being trained mostly ignores them.

Here's a little video of the result of all the "Mand" training (sitting without command to gain attention). Even though these 6 week old pups are excited, they are still manding for a pat.
