Choking

What to do:

  1. Open dogs mouth and if you see something you can grab get it out

  2. Get the dogs head down (gravity) wheelbarrow position

  3. Thumbs behind (the ball part of throat) and push in a forward motion

  4. Sharp blow between shoulder blades

  5. Cup hands and tap from front to back (Coupage) along chest

  6. Last resort – abdominal thrusts 3.4 times - on the dogs underneath 3 to 4 times.
