The old way is to cover the tick in Vaseline or light a match let it burn for second blow it out and immediately touch it to the ticks body use tweezers to pull the tick off. If you are worried take the dog to a vet. Www.mayoclinic.com/health/first-aid-tick-bites/FA00062

 Well you need to get it off but you have to be careful doing that to make sure you get the head  grab it as close to the dogs skin as possible and the pull it off lewt the dog smell of it so he /she will know that your not trying to hurt  it  and them  if its big enough pop it  if not burn it with a lighter  good luck have any more ? Feel free to contact me

 The lighted match thing works good, if you hit the tick as soon as you blow out the match. The tick will release the dog, have a pair of tweezers handy if the tick does not fall off, then you must remove it as ladysmom, and nomad1 have said as close to the skin as possible in case the tick grabs hold again. Then burn the tick if possible, to make sure it is dead.
