Early Neurological Stimulation - ENS
For us, breeding Olde English Bulldogges is a lifelong passion that fuels our hearts and minds, we care deeply about all our dogs and welcome all new owners into our extended family, which is why we take the time to conduct thorough personality interviews and meticulously check references to ensure that each applicant is perfectly suited to give one of our precious puppies a forever home. It is our heartfelt requirement that all owners stay in touch with us and share updates on the journey of their beloved companions.
We are dedicated to carefully matching pedigrees to guarantee health and stable temperament, investing considerable time and resources to ensure that only the most balanced, calm, and loving dogs are part of our program.
Like every endeavor, unexpected challenges may arise, but it is our unwavering commitment to learn from each experience and prevent similar situations from occurring in the future. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, embracing constructive criticism and striving for excellence in ethics and compassion. We believe in transparency and openness, expecting the same from those who visit our home or seek to join our family of owners.
We firmly believe that a well-socialized puppy will blossom into a well-behaved adult, which is why we cannot stress enough the importance of training classes for our puppies, even after all the love and care we provide while they are with us. We work tirelessly to ensure our puppies receive ample mental and physical stimulation, nurturing calm and stable temperaments. Early stimulation not only helps puppies adapt to the world around them but also empowers them with vital survival skills.
We proudly offer lifelong support, guidance, and advice for every puppy that brings joy to our home. If there is something we have yet to learn, we embark on that journey alongside our owners. ❤️🐾

Methods of Stimulation

The U.S. Military in their canine program developed a method that still serves as a guide to what works. In an effort to improve the performance of dogs used for military purposes, a program called "Bio Sensor" was developed. Later, it became known to the public as the "Super Dog" Program. Based on years of research, the military learned that early neurological stimulation exercises could have important and lasting effects. Their studies confirmed that there are specific time periods early in life when neurological stimulation has optimum results. The first period involves a window of time that begins at the third day of life and lasts until the sixteenth day. It is believed that because this interval of time is a period of rapid neurological growth and development, and therefore is of great importance to the individual.

The "Bio Sensor" program was also concerned with early neurological stimulation in order to give the dog a superior advantage. Its development utilized six exercises which were designed to stimulate the neurological system. Each workout involved handling puppies once each day. The workouts required handling them one at a time while performing a series of five exercises. Listed in order of preference, the handler starts with one pup and stimulates it using each of the five exercises. The handler completes the series from beginning to end before starting with the next pup. The handling of each pup once per day involves the following exercises:

Tactical stimulation (between toes)

Head held erect

Head pointed down

Supine position

Thermal stimulation

These five exercises will produce neurological stimulations, none of which naturally occur during this early period of life. Experience shows that sometimes pups will resist these exercises, others will appear unconcerned. In either case a caution is offered to those who plan to use them. Do not repeat them more than once per day and do not extend the time beyond that recommended for each exercise. Over stimulation of the neurological system can have adverse and detrimental results. These exercises impact the neurological system by kicking it into action earlier than would be normally expected, the result being an increased capacity that later will help to make the difference in its performance. Those who play with their pups and routinely handle them should continue to do so because the neurological exercises are not substitutions for routine handling, play socialization or bonding.

Benefits of Stimulation

Five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed to the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises. The benefits noted were:

Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate)

Stronger heart beats

Stronger adrenal glands

More tolerance to stress

Greater resistance to disease

In tests of learning, stimulated pups were found to be more active and were more exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates over which they were dominant in competitive situations.

Secondary effects were also noted regarding test performance. In simple problem solving tests using detours in a maze, the non-stimulated pups became extremely aroused, whined a great deal, and made many errors. Their stimulated littermates were less disturbed or upset by test conditions and when comparisons were made, the stimulated littermates were more calm in the test environment, made fewer errors and gave only an occasional distress sound when stressed.Early Neurological Stimulation - ENS
