1. The side of his mouth. Lift his gums up on one side and stick the syringe in between the teeth. Done.
2. my dogs like that, it be easy if someone helped you open his mouth and u put the syringe in his mouth.
3. You do not need to open the animals mouth. If you need someone to help hold the animal & make it easier-do so. Just like with a horse,place the syringe at the back of it's mouth(back of jaws or lip line for lack of better description) Be sure not to squirt to quickly and that the animals head isn't tilted too far back to avoid choking. You might also ask for a different form like a chewable or pill that can be hidden or mixed in food. Did the breeder show you how to properly do it?That might be easier to have someone properly show you.
4. Rub the tip of the syringe with a turkey hot dog. Wrap your dog in a towel with just the face poking out, sit on the floor with your feet under you sitting over your dog. Now you should be able to place the syringe in the side of their mouth. Rinse meat smell off the syringe. If this doesn't work, have a friend sit over the dog holding their mouth open while u dispense. I find faking them out with meat smell works for when my dog is begging for burgers in the car and won't ear his kibble, I touch the burger meat, pick up kibble, and he eats it right away. Because he thinks he's getting burger meat.
