    I have always been scared to hold dogs because I'm so afraid I'll accidentally hurt them. As someone who loves dogs- thank you for helping me learn!

      Youre welcome! you can hold them.. just takes patience and practice and you have to be confident because they can sense if you are nervous.

    I've only ever had a cat. Getting my first pup tomorrow. When I went to see him, he struggled in my arms because he knew I didn't know what I was doing then I dropped him about 2-3 inches from the ground when I went to set him down and he fumbled and fell. Anyways, realized dogs and cats are very different and I gotta learn how to hold this lil dude before he becomes a big dude

    There are several ways to pick up a dog. I had a trainer tell me that this is NOT the way you should pick up a puppy or small dog because you can cause issues with their stomach by lifting them from their chest. Instead, you should grab them by their scruff, place your arm in between their back legs and support them that way. And if needed you can use the other arm to keep them from jumping out of your arms.

    Can someone tell me if there's any negative affect of holding a medium-sized dog with the large(er) size hold (one arm in front of the front legs and one arm behind the hind legs)? For some reason i always default to that hold with any dog that comes above the knees.
