Early Neurological stimulation
Introduce leash training!
The next step is socialization:
small amounts of outside stimulation are introduced around 4-5 weeks of age. Play with ball, playing on different surfaces outside of their kennel area. Different noises introduced around 3-4 weeks, such as banging, vacuum, clapping any kind of noise that will acclimate them to different situation.
Car rides start- Yes, load them up around 5 weeks of age and drive around a bit to acclimate them to motion. (puppies do not leave the car for safety)
1)Tactical stimulation (between toes)
2) Head held erect
3) Head pointed down
Supine position
4) Thermal stimulation
These five exercises are important neurological stimulations. This is started at 3 days and ends when they are 16 days old.
