We do MORE with our puppies!
Avidog's ENS Protocol
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) requires handling the puppies one at a time while performing a series of five exercises. This process is designed to introduce puppies to mild stresses in a controlled way, improve stress responses in later life, stimulate the neurological system, and improve puppies’ growth, immune and cardiovascular systems.
Avidog's ESI Protocol
Early Scent Introduction (ESI) is designed to enhance the puppies' ability to identify, and react to, specific scents. This is great as an addition to our program as it helps us imprint pups for future jobs in tracking, detection, scentwork, barn hunt, medical alert, and more! What seems like a small addition to our program makes all the difference in raising excellent working dogs.
Personalized Training
Most ethical breeders today recognize the importance of ENS and ESI in early development of puppies and have adopted those practices. What sets us apart is the personalized training that the puppies receive in our care! We start foundational obedience training at just 6 weeks old. Each puppy receives daily individual sessions, and after temperament testing, individual training that is specific to the venues/work they would likely thrive in, in order to set them up for a lifetime of success!
