Get a pair of what I call welder gloves! They are made out of suede (leather?) and should cover most of your forearm. Pick up your ig and support it somewhat like you would a young pup with one arm under its belly for support and the other up and over in a position to keep it from falling. Then just hold for a few minutes talking the whole time in a very quiet calm voice. I would also suggest that you do this when there are no distractions in the room such as noise or other people. The important thing is to only release when it is not trying to make you do so. It needs to know that its not fighting you that makes you let him go. Don't hurt him though...if he's still only a few seconds that's a good enough beginning! Keep it up daily and he will calm down.
