Veterinary Technician and Assistant Training: Handling and Restraining Dogs

[@not-the-body]

I'm currently in animal massage school and this was incredibly helpful to apply to the curriculum and paper I'm working on. Love having someone explain it as video is played and loved the safety tips for canine and human backs! Thank you so much.

Dogs are really going to use these videos when they finally organize.

In this episode we will be learning how to really gain that trust you've been looking for in a dog -Squat as though to poo -Trick the dog into thinking you are going to lift it -Whisper sweet nothings into dog's ear -And a secret trick that is scarce known: pet the dog

[@DrZoonotics]

With a heavy dog, both hands of the lifter(s) are too busy lifting to be able to pet. Pet before and after but fully concentrate on lifting the dog safely so the dog and the handlers don't get injured.

This video was really helpful for me, and these tips will come in handy when I'm working with animals! : )

[@boogedy21]

Thank you so much for making this video available! Great video :)

[@veterinarycontinuingeducat1606]

Very useful video, plenty of great tips and advice for veterinarians and vet techs in this short training clip!

[@PumpkinPrincess180]

This is great and all but I'm a vet tech that's less than 5 feet tall. I want to know is there anything I can learn to help smaller folks like me safely restrain a medium to big dog. Maybe a future video?

[@deaansugee]

Height really isn't that much of an obstacle here. My girl friend is like 155cm tall and she can handle cane corso and mastiffs with ease. Strength on the other hand, is a factor. She goes to the gym often. But mind you, not bodybuilder strength, just strength up until a certain point.

[@DrZoonotics]

Good video but it has one flaw - the techs doing the lifting do NOT, as the video commentator suggests they do, "use their legs" instead of their backs for lifting.

[@DrZoonotics]

Key ideas - feel your legs doing the work while keeping your back as straight as possible and keep the animal against your body while you lift. The further the dog is from your body, the dog becomes heavier (law of physics).

[@throughcolouredglasses9300]

I thought he was talking about keeping the dogs back straight and wrapping around around their legs for lifting?

[@DrZoonotics]

Nope. The dogs are just taking a ride. The assistants do the lifting and can seriously injure their backs in the process. Go to the links I provided to see how EVERYONE can avoid back injury when lifting ANYTHING.

[@nishalini1274]

Very informative!

[@NGPhotography1]

Amazing video. :)

[@karenspivey9420]

Great video! Where do I get the back brace you talk about?

[@DrZoonotics]

First, (unlike the techs in this video) use your legs for lifting, not your back.

[@shahrzaddl8991]

What should we do when the dog is very agressive and shouting and dont let us to examine?

[@jayking6830]

great learning video. thank you for sharing.

[@mskevywevy]

where is part 2?

[@SubhashChander-ii6pn]

Very useful

[@adriannehand1856]

What will I Learn from going to an vet tech school?

[@kwizeratv5724]

Very interesting!

[@caroldeveckadevogel2833]

I'm looking for Glenda whom we've adopted a Lab/mix from the college on Ulmerton rd in Largo on September 22 2012. The video of them playing in the yard is what convinced me to adopt Lola. Anyone with information please let me know. Thanks

[@Niloysharma-v7m]

Your content is very good. but?

[@yehhshhs]

@3:34 what is this dog breed?

[@ladysinister6241]

Squatting and offering your hand are not always good things to do....

[@treetopper91]

The body mechanics are terrible.

Dropped my phone trying not to drop my phone. 2:00
