Restrain the animal for the behavior that it is currently showing – not for the behavior that you think it may show in the near future. The pole is famous for it's versatility. Up a tree - under a building - or in a storm drain, the animal can easily be rescued with a Ketch-All extension pole. When retracted, it may be used as a heavy duty restraining device. Appropriate restraint is all about empathy, finesse, and technique – it has little to do with strength. If any procedure requires more than two people to actually hold the animal, there is something wrong with the employed technique for that procedure on that animal for that day. The more people that are involved, the more threatened the animal will feel and the more easily someone will be injured.In 98% of cases, injuries to humans occur because someone did something unwise, became complacent while working on the animal, or did not know how to read the animal’s body language. Remember that behavior is constantly changing. Just because the animal is friendly at the beginning of the exam or procedure, does not mean the animal will remain so three seconds later. Always assume the animal may injure you at any time – be cautious and prudent, but not paranoid. Always keep your body parts away from the animal’s weapons.
