Why is muzzle training important?
This is why.
Some dogs will be the best behaved dog in the world...until it's time for a vet or grooming appointment.
Just because this behaviour isn't happening all the time, does that mean you shouldn't try and keep your pet professional safe while they take care of your pet? Absolutely not. It is 💯 your responsibility to ensure they are as safe as possible. Having them muzzle trained ahead of time also helps reduce THEIR stress during a difficult situation, instead of adding to it with something they haven't been accustomed to wearing.
Kudos to this owner for coming prepared and ready to be honest about their pup's difficulties. We're happy we were able to help keep everyone safe during this challenging groom with our muzzle.
Remember, just because you see a dog having reactivity issues like this, does NOT mean they aren't currently working on it with their owner. Training does not happen overnight, and you never know what progress has been made at any point. There's no shame at all in staying safe!
