MUZZLE MONDAY: Muzzle Sizing Modifications

The Baskerville Ultra muzzle in my opinion usually doesn’t fit most dogs that great. The biggest issue I see with it, is that the space between the actual basket and the neck strap is too long/large for most dogs, which ends up making the basket sit a little bit tilted upwards on the dog’s nose. This then makes it easy for the dog to paw the bottom of the basket forward and off the chin.

When you take the loop on the neck strap that is intended for the collar and put a keyring or a small carabiner clip onto it and bring it forward to attach to the bottom center bar of the basket, it resolves this issue. The gap between the basket and the neck strap is shortened and the basket sits at a more neutral angle on the dog’s nose.

Small modifications can make a big difference.

When we, as humans, live with other people (a significant other, a roommate, a family member, etc) we have the option and the ability to LEAVE the house, any time we want. We leave to go to work, visit friends, partake in activities, exercise, etc. And even if someone doesn’t have a car, they can still step outside and walk somewhere. By choice, if they need a break they can leave.

When our dogs live with other dogs, they cannot.

If they get frustrated, stressed, or upset with one another, they can’t just step outside and walk themselves somewhere, go for a drive, or blow off steam at the gym. They are stuck.

And THIS is why it’s so important to have individual confinement spaces AND designated time away from each other EVERY day, when you have a multi dog household.

In the “wild” there is plenty of space to regulate emotions around social situations. In our homes, there is not. We need to give our dogs breaks from one another so that way they don’t feel the need to act out with inappropriate behaviors towards each other, or worse, displays of aggression. Altar their daily routines before they try to altar it themselves.

Prevention in maintaining healthy relationships between housemates can go a long way.

“HE DOESN’T KNOW HIS [REAL] NAME”

During one of our sessions my clients were telling me about how their dog, Elmo, doesn’t know his name because he doesn’t respond to it.

As we proceeded with the session, it became apparent as to why.

They called him 47 different names throughout the hour.

No wonder he didn’t know his real name!

I know a lot of us call our dogs different things. I am guilty of it as well. But we do have to be consistent with what we call them when you are engaging with them during training and/or situations that we need to have a response from them!

Thankfully once it became apparent what one of the problems was with his name recognition, he does respond more to his real name now, though they still use a variety of things to call him in general haha.

MUZZLE MONDAY: it’s not that serious!

So many people think it’s such a “bad and terrible” thing to have to muzzle train their dog…

And it’s really not!

Muzzle training doesn’t have to carry the negative stigma that some try to give it. Muzzle training can still be fun and enjoyable. Your dog can still be silly and goofy. The training can still be useful and practical without such a serious outlook being put on it.

Perspective is everything and most people tend to find, after the fact, that the muzzle training wasn’t as big of a deal as they originally were making it out to be, anyway.

Story Time: “Too soft” for one side and “too cruel” for the other. For a long time I’ve never fit in with any of the dog training “camps” and just float around somewhere in the middle, and that’s ok. We all want to belong somewhere but sometimes labels do more harm than good.

Few people know and understand the immense gratitude and celebration to have dogs who once had to be completely separated within the home due to fighting, be able to spend time together, finally, especially without muzzles.

The work is intense. The commitment is deep. The resources required are a lot. But effort pays off when the expectations and environment are set up for success.

This family has gone above and beyond what the average family would, despite all obstacles. Their success continues to even amaze me.

One simple picture, represents so much.
