Narrative:
As we were preparing to finish paperwork and push off of the gate; the ramp brought up their cargo load report and informed me that a dog was loaded in the aft cargo bin. They had also marked on the load sheet that the live animal was in the aft cargo bin. I informed them that the animal had to be loaded in the fwd cargo bin or else it would die. I then went out to make sure that they removed the animal and loaded it into the fwd cargo bin. I also informed all of the ground crew that live animals must always be loaded in the fwd cargo bin on all erj-170/175's. They moved the animal; and we continued on with a corrected load sheet.be sure that the ground crew is aware of the type of aircraft and that they are following the correct procedures.
