Baby Holding Method

The Baby Holding Method, as the name suggests, is to directly treat the dog as a baby and hold the dog directly in the arms. Many pet owners think that dogs should be very comfortable, but this is actually wrong. Because the dog’s belly is facing up, and the dog doesn’t like having its belly exposed, which makes it feel very insecure. Therefore, pet owners should never hug their dogs like this again.

Pick the dog up directly by its front legs

This kind of holding method is simply a nightmare for the dog. Because directly lifting the dog by its two legs will make the dog's legs unable to bear the weight of the body, causing the dog's legs to be dislocated, fractured, or soft tissue contusion. Especially puppies or dogs with short legs, their bones are relatively fragile, so pet owners should feed their dogs some calcium tablets or calcium-containing dog food to help them strengthen their bones.

Pinch the back of the neck method

Many people may feel that the pain in the back of the dog's neck may not be strong, so sometimes they like to pinch the back of the dog's neck and lift the dog directly. In fact, this is also the wrong way to hold the dog, because it is very painful to pinch the dog's neck like this, and some dogs may even become very irritable and restless and attack their owners.

Let the dog sit cross-legged on your shoulder

Many pet owners treat their dogs as their own children, so they want their dogs to enjoy the feeling of being loved by their parents, so You will let the dog sit on your shoulders with its legs spread, and then hold the dog's butt and let it play. However, this is very dangerous, because once the dog's center of gravity shifts back, it is easy for the dog to fall down or injure its waist.

The correct approach
