Muzzles, let’s talk.
Not only your pet will thank you, but you will have a peace of mind. Muzzles are very controversial topic for some and a lot of people will go immediately to “oh my god, it’s got a muzzle it must be aggressive!!” No, not every dog wearing a muzzle is aggressive.
At one point or another your dog may have to wear one, lot of vets, groomers, trainers, and also animal control will muzzle a dog for safety especially when there is dog a with hard to read body language, and there are dogs like this. Even if your dog is well trained, they have thresholds and easy to poke buttons a muzzle can be a great tool to introduce. My dogs always ware a muzzle when going to the vet, to keep everyone at peace of mind. Dogs with known history of reactivity, should be introduced into a muzzle, not only for public safety but your dogs safety as well.
When your dog is injured, they are in pain, and a number one communicator is their mouth, a muzzle will reduce their chances of biting while receiving help, transporting to a vet etc.
Basket muzzles are great, this allows for room to open the mouth to pant, drink water, and lick food.
Muzzle topics and training for muzzles will be introduced to our classes, for more info, message us!
