We have begun using a SuperDog program that was developed by the U.S. Army for their working dogs (referred to as "Bio Sensor" program in military terms). The purpose of this program is to improve your pet's ability to with stand stress and to improve intelligence. There are four components of the superdog program. The first is Neurological stimulation, the puppies are exposed to environmental stimuli during their early developmental period (days 3-16). The stimuli consist of tactile, thermo, and positional stimulation and are non-invasive. The program works by producing earlier neurological development than could normally be expected.
The second aspect of the program involves socialization. Research has shown that there is a critical window early in a pup's life when socialization is most effective. This early socialization helps produce puppies that bond strongly with humans. The socialization period extends from the fourth through your puppies 16th week, so we strongly encourage you to continue the process.
We support our goals by providing high quality nutrition, this is the third aspect of the program. A good diet allows our puppies to develop to their fullest potential. Proper nutrition helps improve skin and coat, muscle and tissue condition, and weight control. We provide all new puppy owners with puppy food to help get you off to a great start.
The last aspect is placing our puppies with the best families possible. If you are looking for a sound, well bred cocker spaniel puppy and are able to give him a loving home, then we are looking for you.
