Muzzles

While my dogs do not wear muzzles, I have had fosters who have needed them and I have friends who have needed them. Muzzles should not be looked at like some barbaric tool. They are necessary in some cases and should be treated with respect. If you have a reactive dog and are actively working with your dog to overcome that reactivity, do not be afraid to utilize a muzzle. You are showing that you are a responsible owner and are taking precautions while you help your dog overcome their fears and anxieties. My go-to in muzzle choices in the baskerville (pictured below). Your dog can still eat, drink and pant while wearing one. Muzzle training can also be made into a fun game so it doesn’t become an extra source of anxiety for an already anxious dog. If you need help muzzle training or know someone who does, feel free to reach out and we can work through that together
