When I had ticks, I had to man it up and tear them off. Remember when you tear it off flush it down the toilet, because you can't smash them.

I was told to burn them.

Put some alcohol on it, and then pull it off your dog.

I usually burn ticks. Or do it the safe way like Ashley said.

Ticks. You should get your parents to handle it - if you do something wrong, you might tear a part of it off and leave some of it on the dog, I'm not sure which part, but it does something - and I'd recommend leaving it to your parents to fix.

Tweezers is how I've always seen them advise. Grab as near the mouth as you can.

Also, make sure your dog has been vaccinated for lyme disease -- some ticks carry it.

Tweezers. If you just grab the tick and pull, its mouthparts might stay inside the dog and get infected.

Ask your mom or dad, they might have done this before.
