BAB CURRICULUM
It Begins on Day 3-16 with Early Neurological Stimulation & Early Scent Introduction
Puppies are put through 5 ENS exercises and exposed to a new scent daily on Days 3 thru 16
Next we work slowly into Whelping Box Novelty Item Exposures, 1st one item, and building to many over the course of many days
Then we gently expose the puppies to New People they have never met, with the goal they will meet 7 new people by the time they go home
Next we begin working the pups with new exposures outside of the whelping box/room, varying outdoor locations, exposure items, and experiences as well as difficulty levels
Exposure items can be re-used, but we attempt to vary locations so the pups experience stress tolerance and confidence building in many settings
More Outdoor Exposures
At Week 4 the pups are introduced to the Doggy Door and begin going potty OUTSIDE! Dogs are naturally Den Animals and if given the opportunity, will not eliminate in the same space that they eat and sleep in. The doggy door doesn't even have to be TAUGHT, the puppies automatically seek that outside potty when their interior space is limited for a short time, then the behavior becomes habitual
We gradually increase the outdoor exposure difficulty, preparing them for the pinnacle of outdoor exposures...the OBSTACLE COURSE RUNS
