If two heads are better than one, then four hands must be better than two! If you have difficulty giving medicine to your dog on your own, try to get help from a friend. Preferably, it should be another human your dog loves. Having an extra pair of hands is useful for holding onto your dog or distracting them as you administer the medication. You can also recruit your friend to engage your dog in a friendly competition. To do this, simply offer both your friend and your dog some 'treats,' but give your friend more of them. The more treats your friend receives in front of your dog, the crazier your dog should become. Eventually, they should be so happy to receive a treat that they won’t realize there’s something hidden inside.
