Скачать или смотреть How to Pick us a small dog the correct way

Picking up a dog by lifting them under their arms (or front legs) is generally not recommended for several reasons:
1. Discomfort and Pain: This method can be uncomfortable or even painful for the dog, especially if they are not used to being picked up this way.
2. Injury Risk: Lifting a dog by their front legs can strain their muscles, joints, and ligaments. This is particularly risky for puppies, small dogs, or dogs with existing health issues.
3. Spinal Pressure: Lifting a dog improperly can put undue pressure on their spine and neck, potentially causing or exacerbating back problems.
4. Fear and Anxiety: Dogs may become fearful or anxious if they are lifted in a way that feels unnatural or insecure to them. This can lead to a negative association with being picked up.
5. Support and Stability: Proper support of a dog's body is important when lifting them. Lifting under the arms does not provide adequate support for their entire body, making them feel unstable and insecure.

To properly lift a dog, it is recommended to:
Support the dog's chest and rear end. Place one hand under the dog's chest, behind the front legs, and the other hand under the hindquarters.
Lift gently and smoothly, keeping the dog close to your body to provide a sense of security.
For larger dogs, it may be best to use both arms to support their entire body or get assistance from another person.
