Puppies Begin Early Neurological Stimulation

On day three, the puppies start an Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) program, consisting of easy exercises that were developed by the military to enhance the puppies' development, resilience, and coping skills. These exercises are conducted daily until the puppies reach 16 days, a crucial phase believed to align with accelerated neurological growth and development. Initially, the puppies squirm and try to get away, but after about four days, they transition from squirming to embracing the activities with enthusiasm.

The puppies remain unable to see or hear and navigate their surroundings by scooting on their stomachs.
