---------------------The Australian Shepherd ADsS - System
|
Rearing, desensibilisation and sensibilisation of puppies
under 18 weeks of age. |
******************************************************************** The ADsS - System
For several years we have given a lot of thought to the best way of acquainting puppies with humans and their environment.
The ADsS-System causes a balanced attachment to human beings and their environment. Overwrought instincts can be desensibilised in the first 18 weeks
Manners aquired in stressless situations will be sensibilised, enforced and well founded.

How do we go about desensibilising our puppy?
During the first three weeks we desensibilise the puppy on certain parts of the body
By stroking continuously with palm and fingertips the puppy will made acquainted with human’s leading role in a sensitive yet consequential way.
This step will substitute the bitch’s all-round care.#
The human has assumed his role as leader of the pack (alpha-role), and at the same time the puppy learns that this new leader can be authoritative and exceeds him in stamina.
This makes the puppy trust the human, therefore it will allow to be touched all over his body.

Over the next few weeks the puppy will be systematically confronted with his envireonment and his natural attachment to human being will be sensibilised.
It is important for is that all this happens in an environment that makes tge puppy feel comfortable.
The furtur dog owner will integrated in the process of sensibilisation.

In the fourth week one can start to work with the equipment.
It is important, that the puppy be introduced to the equipment without stress and pressure.

Usually this will take place by itself when the puppy goes out to investigate its new surroundings.
Certain proof of the Puppy’s taking to his environment is any sign that it has accepted his surroundings as a place of rest.

In the interest of a good human dog relationship, it is important that we work the equippment together from time to time.


Video Swimming in the river

It is an absolute highlight when we take our puppy swimming in the river after the fifth week.
Obviously the experienced breeder will use this opportunity of seeing them swim and interact to determine the dogs’ type (sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic)

If a puppy shows fear of a certain piece of equipment before the end of the 18 th week, it’ll give the responsible breeder enough time to take special care of this puppy.
Additionally, this method enables us to give every buyer the very dog he wants.
The puppy-test, which is given to every buyer with his puppy, enables him to ascertain what kind of dog be bought.,.
This experience will be rememberd by your puppy and will be helpful in its further develpment.
Seen on this light, I advise all potential buyers of insist of this or a similar type of rearing when choosing a breeder.
“just the best is good enough”
(would you buy a new car without an engine?)
We (as breerers) are very happy to share with you the experiences we have made with sensibilisation.
