As the puppies neurological system is forming, research has shown that stressing neonatal puppies, very slightly produces benefical effects on them for the rest of their lives. This is part of the Puppy Culture Program.
Puppies who have undergone early neurological stimulation have;
- Greater Stress Tolerance
- Greater Resistance to Disease
- Faster Adrenal System
- Stronger Heart Rate
- Increased Heart Rate
More information on Early Neurological Stimulation including the research behind the exercises, can be found here;

The program utilises 5 exercises that are designed to stimulate the neurological system. the handling of each pup once per day involves the following exercises;
1. Tactile stimulation (Tickling between ties with a cotton bud)
2. Head held erect
3. Head pointed down
4. Supine position
5. Thermal stimulation
These exercises involve gentle handling of the puppies, from touching their toes with a cotton wool bud to placing them on a cold surface for 5 seconds.
