does the behavior communicate about how the dog feels? What does direct and prolonged eye
contact communicate about a dog: (Page 11) - ANS-Most dogs avoid eye contact as a sig of
submissive behavior, they do it to avoid certain situations or conflict. This usually tells us the
dog is feeling stressed or scared. Direct prolonged eye contact usually means the dog is alert
and is showing a level of intensity of threat or aggressive behavior.
What is "whale eye?" What does it signal about a dog's emotional state: (Page 18) - ANS-Whale
eye is were the white part of the dog's eye is repeatedly shown. A calm dog will usually turn
their head while a stressed dog will look out the corner of their eye which causes whale eye.

may employ this type of restraint. What is the goal of psychological restraint: (Page 23-24) -
ANS-Verbal or psychological restraints is a technique groomers will use to controls dog's
behavior through verbal communication. Two examples include positive
reinforcement/rewarding good behavior in a calm voice (no pitchy baby talk). Keeping a calm

obey/agree/behave on their own when asked.
What is the purpose of a loop adjuster? What is the purpose of a panic snap? How should a slip
lead be positioned on a dog's neck? Why: (Page 30) - ANS-The loop adjuster can
accommodate dogs of different size which also allows the grooming table arm arm to stay at
one height. A panic snap can help remove the loop from the arm in case of an emergency, like
the pet jumping. The slip lead should be positioned behind the dog's ears, and not in the middle
of the neck, as it can be ineffective and chock the dog. "Position the lead high on the neck, just
behind the ears."

reach a groomer, it's about 180 degree's around the edge.
