Ideally, you have a veterinarian who will come to the house and he will do an at-home euthanasia. You're going have a dog who is going to be put asleep with a pre-anaesthestic, so the dog's going to be put asleep before the lethal dose is administered. You can hold your dog; you can soothe your dog. Your dog is in an environment where you feel safe and calm, and that's the most important thing.
