The one week old photos for Sunbuilt’s ‘G’alaxy litter! 🌌✨🐾We’re behind on posting but wanted to name them for their introduction! Introducing the girls: Celeste 🩷, Nebula 💜, Vela 💛, and Zenith 💚, and Boys: Orion ❤️, Quasar 🖤, Astro 🧡, Apollo 🤍, and Cosmo 💙!
Nursing, snoozing, and snuggling are their main priorities right now, and we’re soaking up every tiny squeak and sleepy cuddle.
We’ve been performing daily ENS / ESI and adding brief, gentle handling exercises to their daily care as we begin laying the foundation for their future adventures.
🧠 ENS is intended to support stress tolerance and adaptability through brief, gentle exercises involving touch, position, and temperature. Our hope is to help our puppies begin experiencing small, manageable changes as part of their early development.
👃 ESI gives their little noses new scents to explore! These brief introductions provide early scent neural connections and opportunities to observe each puppy’s interest and responses. We hope to encourage curiosity about scent, which can become part of future enrichment, scent sports, and service dog training. 🦮
Additionally, some research has suggested stronger heartbeats and cardiovascular performance, improved hormonal regulation, greater stress tolerance, and enhanced disease resistance with these procedures.
We incorporate this into a much broader curriculum of positive handling, enrichment, and age-appropriate socialization. Follow our daily IG stories for more stellar Golden fun!! 🤩☀️
