A puppy needs to learn how to put up with an examination of his whole body. He needs to be tolerant when having his nails clipped or temperature taken. The earlier he becomes used to being moved or handled, the better. Here is a procedure on how to train your puppy to become used to a body examination:
1. Grabbing his front legs, make the puppy lie down on the floor. Massage his back and neck while continue to praise him.
2. Once your puppy is totally relaxed, roll him over so he is lying on his side. If he struggles, press gently on his shoulders and say "no" or "stay".
3. Continue to massage him, until you reach his feet and tail. Always remain eye contact with your puppy when you show your praise or displeasure.
4. Next, grab all four paws and roll him over. Give him praises as you massage him while rolling him from side to side. Your puppy may think that you are playing with him; if he becomes playful, stop and hold him until he calms down.
Keep your puppy health and active by bringing him regularly to a vet Oceanway.
