When puppies are born, their ability to experience the world through their senses is very limited. Their eyes are not yet open, and their ear canals are closed. They do have a sense of smell, touch, and taste. Amongst other things, their mother’s milk stimulates their smell and taste.

Stimulation is key to socialization. Republic Dobermans takes pride in breeding the highest quality Doberman Pinscher puppies in Houston, TX, and it is our goal to do everything possible to achieve that. As a part of that commitment, we perform ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) training with all of our puppies. This develops a better temperament in the puppies, from a young age.

For more information on ENS, check out the AKC.org article “Puppy Socialization Starts with the Breeder: Early Neurological Stimulation” detailing it.
