FAKE HANDS -
USEFUL TOOL FOR DESENSITIZING TOUCH SENSITIVE ANIMALS & TO HELP ASSESS ANIMALS IN RESCUE.

Assessorhands_small (7K)

FAKE HAND - rubber hand (left only) on a dowel with padded arm.

Sizes :
Short - 30 cm. (useful to keep in kit bag or working with small animals)
Medium - 45 cm. (helpful in kennels where space is restricted)
Long - 60 cm. (for working with larger animals or particularly aggressive cases)

Fake Hands are designed to give a nervous or wild animal an opportunity to learn new ways of coping with both touch and people.
Our hands are constantly giving off information (e.g. electromagnetics, heat/cold etc...).The Fake hand is neutral. You are able to touch the animal whilst remaining in full view of them - nervous animals can react more fearfully when they feel crowded; the hand gives them the space to think and breathe.
How many times have you worked with a potentially aggressive animal and worried about being bitten ? With the assessor hand you can be close to them and feel confident that if you do go further than they can handle the only bite marks will be in the rubber ! They will pick up on your confidence and feel more comfortable with you there. You will also not be tempted to pull the hand away quickly & stimulate the chase instinct (especially in cats).

FAKE HANDS MAY HELP WITH :

Assessing fearful & potentially aggressive animals safely
Allows an animal to be touched without fear of being grabbed
Getting an animal used to being touched and handled in non-threatening way
Keeps both the animal & you feeling safe & confident

Please note that we only have 1 Long hand left.
