✨ Muzzle conditioning isn’t about labeling a dog “bad” — it’s about setting them up for comfort, safety, and success.
Harvey, the handsome/spicy guy in this video, has big feelings about the vet and the groomer. Honestly he has big feeling about Evvverything. While we’re building his skills, confidence, and trust, I still want to make sure everyone — including Harvey — stays safe in the process. 💛
The key is to condition the muzzle before a stressful event, not during one. When a dog learns that wearing a muzzle predicts good things — treats, calm energy, and praise — it becomes just another normal part of life instead of something scary or forced.
A muzzle isn’t punishment — it’s peace of mind. 🐾✨
