- I was also a practicioner of Vet Tech Do. (GRIN)
-
- What he said is right on, don't turn and flee.
- The technique i usually employed was to step sideways and push the dog out
- of the way, allowing it to land and not hurt itself.
- This did backfire with a cat that jumped at me, because i pushed it away
- and it landed behind me, it's kittens were in front of me, and the beast
- became very very violent, no scars, though.
-
- I also learned some holds for dogs and cats and raccoons and rabbits while
- working at the vet. Although, since I'm about 150lbs. The holds didn't quite
- work too well on Great Perinese (sp) or St. Bernards. THey tend to just
- get up and trundle off with you attached.
- B] Funny sight, me being dragged down the hall by this huge dog.....
