Reclining restraint. The veterinarian may frequently request that the dog be maintained using reclining restraint, also called lateral recumbent C, to perform reclining restraint on our dog. After lifting the dog onto the table, place the dog on its side. Stand behind the dogs so that the dog's spine is against the front of your body. Grasp the dog's four legs with one hand, securing your grip by placing one finger between the legs. Press down slightly with your forearm on the base of the dog's neck.

Use your other hand to grasp the dog's rear legs.
