Bio Sensor/Early
Neurological Stimulation otherwise known as The Super Dog Program Surprising
as it may seem, it is not innate capacity that explains the difference that
exists between individuals; humans or dogs. Most seem to have far more
capacity than they will ever use. The ones who achieve and out perform others
seem to have within themselves the ability to use hidden resources. In other
words, its what they are Researchers
have studied this phenomenon and have looked for new ways to stimulate
individuals to improve their own natural abilities. Some
methods have produced lifelong lasting effects, and many of the differences
between individuals can be explained by the use of early stimulation. The
key, it seems, is adding just the right amount of stress early on: not too
much, and not too little. Because
of its importance, many studies have focused their effects on the first few
months of life. During the first few weeks of immobility, researchers have
found these immature and underdeveloped canines are sensitive to a restricted
class of stimuli that includes thermal and tactile stimulation, motion and
locomotion. Studies
show that removing them from their nest and stimulating them in a certain way
for a few minutes a day had tremendous value. Studies also confirmed that
there are specific time periods early in life when early neurological
stimulation has optimum results. The first period is a window of time that
begins at about the third day of life and lasts until the 16th day. This is
believed to be a period of rapid neurological growth and development. These
exercises affect the neurological system by kicking it into action earlier
than would normally be expected, resulting in an increased capacity. Five benefits have been observed in dogs
that were exposed to what’s called the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises: * Improved cardiovascular performance; 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.
When Konrad Lorenz first wrote about Imprinting and socialisation in 1935 he
differentiated imprinting from conditioning in that imprinting occurs early
in life, takes place very rapidly and seems to have lifelong results. The
Bio Sensor method is a work out that requires handling each puppy
individually, once a day, and performing five
exercises. These five exercises stimulate pups in a way they would not
encounter naturally at this early age. Each exercise is performed for three
to five seconds. Studies
by canine behaviourists John Paul Scott and John L.
Fuller show that, when given free choice, non-enriched pups preferred to stay
in their kennels. Other littermates that were given only small amounts of
outside stimulation between 5 and 8 weeks of age were found to be very
inquisitive and very active. When kennel doors were left open the enriched
pups would come bounding out, while littermates that were not reared in an
enriched environment would remain behind. The
pups that received less stimulation would typically be fearful and unfamiliar
objects and generally preferred to withdraw rather than investigate. EVEN
WELL BRED PUPS OF SUPERIOR PEDIGREES would not explore or leave their kennels
and many were difficult to train as adults. These pups acted as if they had
become institutionalised. Taken form an article written By Dr:
