Using collar and lashes

USING COLLAR AND LASHES

  • Generally collars vary greatly in design. Their function is to carry identification plates or tags, kill fleas, or look pretty.
  • It is virtually impossible to place a collar tightly around the neck to preclude a determined dog from slipping out of it.
  • The only collar that is truly safe for restraint is a choke chain.
  • In lieu of a choke chain, a nylon cord 3mm diameter may serve both as a collar and a leash.
  • The aggressive, vicious dog may be subdued to administer a sedative by threading the leash through an eye bolt embedded in the wall and pulling the head up tight.
  • Another person grabs the tail or the hind leg and makes a quick intramuscular injection.
  • The leash should not be wrapped around a table or chair leg; because a medium sized or larger dog can easily upset a table.
  • If an eye bolt is not available, the leash may be slipped through a partially opened door, which is then tightly closed on the leash.
  • The dog is pulled up tightly to the door, which is held shut by the handler outside the door while the second person administers the sedative.
