It's your calm demeanour that also puts the dog in the right mindset to manage whatever discomfort comes from the medicine going in the ear. I like the way you respect the dog by not taking too giant of a step at any one time. You look really carefully at the dog's ears to see when you're moving too fast and need to backtrack a bit. You're great! Thanks for posting.
Oh!!! So helpful. I watched the entire thing. My pup had an ear issue at 8 months. I had done a lot of handling prior, but the ear wash was naturally a surprise and uncomfortable and translated to nail trims. Bottom line, this gave me tools to help with both. Wonderful video!
Thank you for all your videos. They are so helpful & I love that you are so calm and patient with your training. Thank you also for letting us know the process takes time too. As a newbie in this process, I had unrealistic expectations & I was becoming so frustrated with myself. I hope you continue to make more videos!
Thank you 🙏 so much for this. I am now doing this for my 9 month old, as he had a really bad experience with ear treatment before which the vet made worse sadly. So I’m working with him using this method now to also clean his yeasty ears.
This is all well and good for normal training. Any advice for a 130lb dog in so much pain she's already nipped at an earlier attempt? I'm not concerned of the bite, I have a muzzle she doesn't mind, but I mention to show how unhappy she is with the ordeal. She is very strong and we only have one shot with the medicine as it's very expensive. I should add she's never been so difficult with normal ear cleaning.
Thanks for this, the tip of moving the bottle in a different way really helped, as I was trying a very similar method with eye drops, I managed to shape holding my dog laying her head on my lap, and getting the bottle near her eye and counting to 10, over many sessions. She was very happy and relaxed with this, but when I actually dropped the liquid into her eye she sat bolt upright. I said YES my marker word at the point the liquid went in, but the jackpot obviously came after she bolted upright. It took me 20 min to do the first eye and a 70 min to do the second eye. But after that I was having a real problem with bottle movement. Watched your video and just did both eyes in a hour. The bottle movement away from the eye really helped.
makingasplash4rescue Great to hear this:) Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. If you enjoyed the video please give it a thumbs up click:) Thanks
Start with harmless saline drops to perfect the technique, and then progress to the actual medication. Same when we practice with eye drops like atropine to dilate the pupil for ophthalmic examination

Well done! The biggest obstacle for the human is to be patient, And, to not rush.

Really nice! Title said "Long Version" - but I was engrossed and it flew by.

you were training this with an empty bottle? So when you squeezed it it actually delivered a little puff of air?

Great video!
det hjælper ikke en dyt, hvis der er syre eller alkohol i dråberne.....
