Here at MarmeDuke Doodles We believe in training our puppies at an early age to learn as much as possible and get them introduced to the the world surrounding them prior to being adopted into their forever homes and making it an easier transition for them and their new owners.
Some of the ways to get your puppy ready for the world is to introduce them to site, sound and smells that can turn a potentially anxious puppy into a well behaved lifelong companion. Early introduction to smells which makes potty training easier, loud sounds like thunder rumbling and fireworks, balancing on objects, the vibration of a trimmer for early grooming, water for swimming and baths, basic skills (sit, stay, lay) off leash walking & obstacles’, socialization with people and more!
One product that we have been introduced to is Avidog’s Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) & Early Scent Introduction (ESI). ENS stands for Early Neurological Stimulation. ENS introduces mild stresses to very young puppies in a controlled way. These stresses help stimulate the neurological system which improves the growth and development of the pup’s immune system, cardiovascular system, and stress tolerance.
ESI stands for Early Scent Introduction. ESI is a training program for puppies designed to enhance their ability to identify, and react to, specific scents. After reading about Avidog’s product this is what we learned and here is a quote from their page; “We select pungent scent items based on the work that our dogs do (hunting, tracking) as well as items they may interact with during their daily life. You may choose additional items based on the pup’s future activities but avoid meats, since we are trying to stimulate scent not taste.
• Natural items (grass, tree bark, leaves, moss, dirt, leaves, evergreen needles and cones)
• Fruits, herbs and spices (lemon, apples, bananas, oranges, rosemary, mint, cloves)
• Training items (gamebirds, such as pheasants, grouse, ducks, pigeons; tennis balls,
leather, cloth, wooden and plastic items, essential oils, manufactured training scents)
• Miscellaneous (tolerant pets such as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils).
It’s never too early or too late to start training! We start at 3 days old!
