The posture of hugging the dog

Many The owner must have secretly chuckled inwardly when he saw this question. He still needs to teach him how to hold a dog? Can dogs still like to be hugged? Please put aside the expression of contempt. The answer from the editor of Boqi is yes. If the hug is not comfortable and even causes pain to the dog, it will easily cause the dog to have a bad feeling towards the owner. It will not be willing to get close to people, and may even become angry at the first sight. Running is very detrimental to future feeding and training. Let’s take a look at how to hold a dog correctly.

　1. Small dogs:When holding a puppy, many people will put their hands under the puppy’s armpits and let the puppy’s two hind legs hang in the air. However, Yes, this is the wrong way to hold it. Unlike humans, a dog's spine cannot cope with vertical pressure, so lifting the dog off the ground may cause damage to its spine or soft tissues.
You cannot hug a dog with your head high, because almost all animals are not willing to reveal their weak abdomen. This is a natural consequence, and we should respect it.
Also, never grab the dog’s tail, ears or even the skin on its back. These parts are sensitive places for the dog and will make it very uncomfortable. For a puppy, you should not scratch the skin of its neck easily. This kind of scratching method is only suitable for making the dog unable to resist in a very short time, and it may easily cause obstruction and vomiting in the long term.
The correct way to hold a puppy is to hold it with both hands, like a child, with one hand supporting its back and the other hand supporting its buttocks. Let the dog lie on your shoulder, and it will feel warm and safe.

　2. Medium or large dogs: First of all, you need to overestimate your ability and do not pick them up forcefully. This is not a heavy lift. You can stand on the side of the dog, put one hand on its chest, and put the other hand on its hip. Use the strength of your forearms to pick up the dog, so that its weight is borne by its chest and legs. The dog will feel Very comfortable. Bend one arm so that the dog sits on it, and wrap the other arm around it.

Holding a dog allows us to show a way to be close to the dog, so we must use a way that makes them comfortable, otherwise the closeness will not be achieved and the dog will be afraid of us. It's a loss that's not worth it.
