Early Neurological Stimulation is a series of short, gentle exercises that I do to each pup for 16 days beginning on their third day of life. It was developed by the military to help improve the ability of a dog to handle stress better as they mature. Of course, this was based on dogs in military service but is also useful application for any dog.
I also weigh each pup daily and wasn't I surprised that there are already three 'porkers' in the group! Blue Boy, Orange Boy and Black Girl are ALL (1) pound in weight on Day 4! Sheesh - Phoebe is producing cream for milk! Typically, the normal gain is that each pup would be a pound at a week of age - guess this group are high achievers. :+)
