Four of these sweet babies have future homes secured, so eight spots are still available on our reservation list.
This was a huge growth spurt week for these little nuggets — big weight gains and now almost all of their eyes are open! They are wobbling around trying to stand and walk on their own. I call this the drunken sailor stage — where they are not steady on their feet and make random noises.. 🙂
Below are updated photos and weights at 14 days old.
Curriculum: This coming week we will finish up ENS and ESI (see explanations below) and move into daily gentle and safe handling exercises. We’ll also start very brief loud noise exposure exercises. My goal is to condition them to human touch in a positive way and begin to desensitize them to sudden loud noises. This coming week I’ll also bring our Amazon Alexa into the nursery to start playing soft classical music to signify quiet time overnight.
Early Neurological Stimulation
ENS is a process that introduces short, mild, and gentle stresses to very young puppies in a controlled way.
Benefits of ENS:
- improved cardiovascular performance (heart rate)
- stronger heart beats
- stronger adrenal glands
- more tolerance to stress
- greater resistance to disease
Early Scent Introduction
ESI is a process of introducing puppies to a different, pungent smell each day during the first 16 days of life. Their reaction (positive, neutral, or negative) is charted.
Benefits of ESI:
- increased nose awareness
- increased confidence
- great for hunting, tracking, and diabetic alert dogs
