Here is the vascular system in a canine head. This highlights the enormous amount of blood flow in the dogs nose. This blood flow serves many purposes, fuels the scent chambers, aids in temperature regulation, allows dogs to effectively track, but this also makes the dogs nose incredibly sensitive to touch. This is the main reason we do not use face harnesses. There are plenty of tools designed to communicate with dogs that do not put pressure on one of their most sensitive features.
