Doberman Ear Posting
Supplies:
2 Tampons (Cardboard Applicator Only) 1” Porous Tape 1 Popsicle Stick (Cut to length for in between ears)
You will do the following steps 2 times, one for each ear.
Set up your posting materials before you get your puppy.
- Push the cotton part way out of tampon cardboard applicator and tape it to the applicator. Use Cardboard applicators ONLY.
- With the porous tape, tape the cardboard applicator together.
You can put another piece of tape, reversed with sticky side out, around the
applicator to help it stick to the ear. - Insert applicator, cotton side, in the pocket of the ear.
- Pull ear up while tapping. Wrap 1” strips of cloth porous tape snug, but not tight, around the top and looser towards the bottom. Tape just as you would tape your own arm; careful as to not cut off circulation. Cover the entire ear, tip to base layering the tape. The “Bridge”
5. Cut the popsicle stick to size; to fit between the ears so the ears will be parallel standing straight up.
6. Using the porous tape, Cut a strip of tape, as a cross piece with the cut popsicle stick stuck to the middle of the strip of tape. Attach the tape to both ears. Then use the other tape strip to tape the bridge from the opposite direction; enclosing the popsicle stick between the 2 pieces of tape.
7. Cut a triangle out to relieve pressure on the front side of ear closes to head; the flappy skin that naturally curls back.
