Military Tactical Stimulation –
for young pups.
Tactical stimulation (between toes)
Head held erect
Head pointed down
Supine position
Thermal stimulation
Tactile
stimulation
- Tactile
stimulation - holding the pup in
one hand, the handler gently
stimulates (tickles) the pup
between the toes on any one foot
using a Q-tip. It is not
necessary to see that the pup is
feeling the tickle. Time of
stimulation 3 - 5 seconds.
(Figure 1)
- Head
held erect - using both hands,
the pup is held perpendicular to
the ground, (straight up), so
that its head is directly above
its tail. This is an upwards
position. Time of stimulation 3
- 5 seconds. (Figure 2)
- Head
pointed down - holding the pup
firmly with both hands the head
is reversed and is pointed
downward so that it is pointing
towards the ground. Time of
stimulation 3 - 5 seconds.
(Figure 3)
- Supine
position - hold the pup so that
its back is resting in the palm
of both hands with its muzzle
facing the ceiling. The pup
while on its back is allowed to
sleep. Time of stimulation 3-5
seconds. (Figure 4)
- Thermal
stimulation—use a damp towel
that has been cooled in a
refrigerator for at least five
minutes. Place the pup on the
towel, feet down. Do not
restrain it from moving. Time of
stimulation 3-5 seconds.
