Do you need to be taught how to hold a husky? Our answer is yes, if you hold it improperly and make it feel uncomfortable or even in pain, it can easily lead to the dog’s dislike of its owner and reluctance to approach people, or even running away when it sees someone, which is not good for future care and training. We cannot hold a dog like a baby, face up, because almost all animals do not like to expose their relatively vulnerable bellies, it is instinct, we should respect it. Also, never grab the dog’s tail, ears or back skin, these are sensitive areas that will make it very uncomfortable.
It is not advisable to grab the skin on a dog’s neck lightly either. This method of handling is only suitable for a short period of time to prevent the dog from resisting, and it can cause choking and vomiting over a long period of time. The correct way to hold a puppy that is still very young is to hold it with both hands, one hand supporting its chest and the other supporting its hindquarters. The hand holding the chest should separate its fingers and hold the dog’s front legs, while the two arms hold the dog tightly to give it a sense of warmth and security.
For medium-sized dogs, bend one arm and let the dog sit on it, then use the other arm to wrap around it. For large dogs, if you have to hold them for some reason (some dogs are too heavy for you to carry!), don’t hold their bellies, let their legs hang freely, as this will make them feel very uncomfortable. You can wrap your arms around them and hold their legs close, supporting their thighs, which will also prevent them from struggling too much.
