Progressive Head Hold for Dogs
Controlling a dog’s head while using the least amount of restraint possible is essential for ensuring the safety of staff and patients during exams and treatments. In this video, you will learn the three levels of this progressive head hold.
Chin Wrap Restraint for Small Dogs
The chin wrap restraint is a quick and easy method to control the head of small- to medium-sized dogs. Many dogs tolerate this better than using a muzzle or hands around their face. It works especially well for wiggly, brachycephalic breeds.
Chin Wrap Restraint for Large Dogs
The chin wrap restraint can also be used on large dogs, who shy away from hands hovering around their face, as a method to control the head.
