Early Neurological Stimulation

Early Neurological Stimulation, or ENS, is a gentle process used by responsible breeders to give puppies the best possible start in life. Through a series of brief, age-appropriate exercises during the first weeks after birth, ENS helps puppies build stronger stress responses, develop resilience, and adapt more confidently to new experiences as they grow. Research suggests that these early experiences can support improved learning, emotional balance, and overall wellbeing throughout a dog’s life.

 

At Stargazer Cavaliers, we incorporate ENS as part of our early puppy development program to help our Cavaliers thrive in their future homes — calm, confident, and well-prepared for the world around them.
