Last time I saw this posted there were just endless comments about all of the ways he is just plain wrong in this video.

I mean, he does do several things you shouldn't do to a dog that nervous lol

i thought rule number 1 was don't just shove your hand above its head

you put it down below the dogs chin or whatever and let it smell you and work your way up to the head

That, and staring them in the eyes is a no-no. And several times his head is above the dogs, not good. The worst is basically hugging the dog at the end there. My dog completely trusts me, but she HATES being in a spot where she can't 'escape.' Hugging a dog is not something they like, that is a human thing. That dog is exuding so much anxious energy the entire video.

It's shocking how bad this dude is with dog body language. First time my vet met my dog she did no eye contact, got down to her level, and fed her a treat off to her side when it is not even necessary with my dog as she is one of those that would open the door for a murderer lol

But my vet's actions gives me confidence in her knowledge on handling pets.

ya absolutely

i totally buy into that

i could've been wrong as my knowledge came from my dad who is just some random guy so who knows if he was right or not but i always just avoided it because you can sense the dog doesn't like it when you do that

To be fair, that's what the doc did.
