Don’t forget to bend at the knees and lift with your legs. Don't bend over the dog to protect your back from injury. Place your arms around your pet to securely lift the dog. Bending your knees will bring you closer to the dog’s level. This means you won't be leaning over the dog which most dogs find frightening. Try to avoid picking up your dog when he's jumping all around and wiggly. You may have to work on training your dog to be calm. Establish a routine and begin short training sessions. Begin by keeping your dog in a seated position for several minutes. Gradually teach him to lay down. Practice having these calm periods of time. If you have to pick up a wiggler, use a short leash to keep a hold your dog. Or you could place a towel over his head and use it to hold his limbs. If your dog is actually injured, protect yourself by muzzling the dog (with an actual muzzle for dogs or use a leash to wrap around the snout). At least use a towel over the dog’s head before you pick up the dog.
