Does this sound like a nice chemical or do you think they hurt the dog (burn veins?) and should spend more money to get a nicer one?
Trust them?

BUT DO YOU REALLY TRUST THEY DON'T BURN?

As a former euthanasia tech, I can tell you that there are various drugs and methods that can be used. At my facility, (where I worked), we used an anesthetic consisting of phenobarbital and ketamine. We also gave them a sedative prior to euthanizing them.

About 15 or 20 minutes after they are given the sedative, (which BTW knocked them out so well that major surgery could be performed on them and they wouldn't feel a thing,) they are injected one of three ways, I won't go into any further details here, except to say that I injected them interveinously, they are sound asleep and do not feel the drug going into their veins, if it is done correctly.

That was a very difficult job to have and was only a small part of my work day.

I took care of the ones coming in after normal hours that were very sick, injured and in really bad shape, or very elderly and by the owners request.

I also had to have 40 hours training with the National Animal Control Association.

I hope this helped you in some way.

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more https://tinyurl.im/Hgpvl

After I started training my dog, he became very attached to me and loves to stay by side as long as he can. But just going to them won't help. You have to practice what they teach you outside of the class and you need to keep up with it at least every now and then after the class ends otherwise they'll just go back to previous habits. This course is a really good place to go for dog obedience classes. It get's your dog around other people and dogs to socialize while getting the training you need. As for electric collars, I would say to not get one. In my experience, they're only a negative effect on your dog. I mean of course you're going to need to correct your dog, but being positive and encouraging your dog works a lot faster and easier.

Every dog is different, so unless you have a german shepherd or a really smart dog, it might take a while to train her. You might get frustrated with her, but go easy. She's still a puppy and has a lot of energy. A backyard or somewhere to run will help her get rid of a lot of energy that might cause her to misbehave from boredom.

Euthanasia is an overdose of thiobarbiturate anesthetic. It does not burn, and actually the drugs we use for euthanasia today were used for anesthesia decades ago. That's how we know they don't burn. But there was a very slim "margin of safety"-that is, a very small difference between what would make you asleep and what would make you dead. There's safer things available for anesthesia now. The injection causes unconsciousness within seconds, and then the heart and lungs stop shortly afterward. Usually in less than a minute. The only thing the animal feels is the needle poke, the rest is painless.

They use a solution called "Beuthanasia Special" which is a barbituate. The drugs are designed to be rapid, causing as little discomfort as possible. It is fairly common to first inject with a tranquilizer, so that the animal is not aware of the euthanasia drugs being injected into them. I don't know what you're asking, but ask your vet if you're concerned about their methods, however, after witnessing 100s of euthanasias, I believe the drugs used are humane while being effective.

there are different chemicals but the most common used to euthanize animals is called pentobarbital. it is quick acting and there is no pain. the first shot they are given is a sedative. this relaxes them. then a few minutes later they are given the poison.

The person who answered anisthetic is correct. I don't think it hurts the veins. I do know that I had a rat put to sleep after he was suffering with cancer. This is worse, because they have to put the needle into the heart. He yelped as the needle went in, but soon passed. : ( I have to tell you....I am 26 and cried like a baby. Poor baby.

Rest in peace, Boy Bino...we still love you, buddy.
