Restraint

, General Restraint
Acceptable restraint should prevent injuries to the animal, the
owner and the handler. It should be humane and minimise
stress.
Basic Principles
• Be properly prepared before you approach the animal
• Have the animal in a suitable environment
• Be calm and patient
• Be clear and firm when using commands
• Assess the situation continuously so that you may react
quickly
• Use minimal but adequate restraint
• Use the correct equipment when needed

, Safety Precautions
• If you are not comfortable in a situation, ask for assistance
• Identify potentially dangerous patients by marking the
enclosure or cage
• Wear appropriate clothing
• Lift heavy patients with your knees to avoid hurting your back
• Work on a non-slip surface
• Do not put your face near an animals face

, Body language and approach
• Consider your appearance e.g. Flapping jacket, Hat or
sunglasses
• Do not work with horses or cats in the presence of dogs
• Do not surprise an animal from behind, approach from the
side
• You can reduce stress to the animal when you approach it
calmly and quietly
• Use a low, firm, soothing tone of voice
