      Tweezers. Get the points of the tweezer right on the head of the tick. As close to the dog's skin as possible without pinching the dog and yank the tick out. Make sure you get the head as it can cause an infection if left attached and embedded in the dog's skin.

        When I found "Darrell", he was literally COVERED in tics.  I wrapped him in newsprint (puppy, thankfully) and hauled him to a veterinarian.  
         http://www.keepthetailwagging.com   is a video on how to remove tics safely. Watch and learn.

          I have always used a cottonball  and rubbing alcohol first and press it on the tick for 10-20 seconds. Then use tweezer. They come out easier that way.
