What is the biosensor program?

​

In the 1970's, the US military developed a program called "Bio Sensor." The program was developed to improve the performance of dogs used for military purposes.

 

By exposing the puppies to early stimulation, it helps the pup develop more resilient responses to stress later in life.  By exposing the pups to a series of exercises from Day 3 to Day 16 you can improve neurological growth and development.

 

The Biosensor Program involves five exercises that will produce neurological stimulations, none of which naturally occur during the early life of the puppy. The benefits that have been observed by providing this stimulation is: improved heart rate, stronger heart beats, stronger adrenal glands, more tolerance to stress and a greater resistance to disease. In learning tests the stimulated pups were found to be more active and were more exploratory than the pups not stimulated. Secondary effects that were also determined were that the pups handled stressful situations with less whining, were much more calm, and made fewer errors.

Overall the benefits for the puppies and their new owner include a healthier life, lessened anxiety, a calmer disposition, increased intelligence and independence.
