The Muzzle Up Project Muzzle Up! promotes safety and education on muzzles and dog behavior, and aims to reduce the stigma associated with dogs who have to wear them.

In the world of dog behavior, one of the most essential pieces of safety equipment we have is the muzzle. Unfortunately, their appearance and the judgments associated with them prevent their usage, sometimes with tragic consequences. Dogs’ welfare suffers when humans fail to use muzzles. They miss out on walks, trips to dog parks, and other key socialization opportunities that contribute to a ha

ppy and healthy dog. Muzzles allow dogs to operate safely in our confusing, sometimes frightening world. While positive reinforcement training techniques can address a dog’s aggression, and in many cases result in successful behavior change, many dogs need to wear muzzles during and after the training. This is for others’ safety, and many times for the safety of the dogs, too. If a dog develops a bite history, particularly a history of biting another person, that dog risks being relinquished to a shelter, being labeled a dangerous dog, and possibly being put to sleep.

I wanted to take advantage of Bonfires "spring line" so that I can get some tie dye tees, and some nice softer colors on other products. I have the pricing set so that we make no money off these, so the prices are as low as Bonfire allows me to set them!

Buy Muzzle Up! Project merchandise from Sarah Mcmanaman. Featuring Light Blue Classic Tie Dye Tees, professionally printed in the USA.

We LOVE muzzles. They’re a huge part of safety and management plans for some dogs, and can be a great “safety net” while working through behavior modification plans. *NOTE: If you’re training your dog to wear a muzzle as part of a behavior modification process, especially for safety reasons,...

Trust Your Dog's Expanding Worlds Fund 🌎

Muzzles have the power to save lives and to open doors. It can be especially difficult to find the right muzzle for hard-to-fit dogs, making the right muzzle even less accessible. Custom, handmade-to-fit muzzles are not always cost effective, no matter how hard Trust Your Dog strives to personally lower our cost. By making a small donation to the Expanding Worlds Fund you can help someone in need purchase a low cost or free muzzle.

If you're in need: Trust Your Dog is founded upon TRUST. If your dog or your rescue organization is in need of a muzzle and you are unable to find a standard market muzzle that fits AND can not afford to budget for a Trust Your Dog muzzle, this program is for you.

To make a donation or get more information check out the the link in the bio or at: https://trust-your-dog.com/expanding-worlds-fund

This group has put a ton of work into gathering info on muzzle sizing, and can offer you help on choosing muzzles based on your dogs measurements.

These forms are for those who need extra help with sizing and fitting a muzzle. MTT can help you with the whole process taking the confusion and (most of the) effort out of it. The forms will explain what measurements, pictures, and information we need and why.

The importance of proper pant room. Looks like a lot at first until you see them in a full pant. Finally got around to making one featuring my handsome boy Armin!

This is why we say to never sweat the people who criticize muzzle use.

Muzzles make dogs' lives BETTER 🥰

Thanks to Kara Brady for sharing this video, demonstrating how a properly fitted muzzle still allows for dogs to drink water.

Hey everyone! Somehow this slipped under my radar and I didn't realize these spam posts were happening on the page. I will get to work deleting comments and blocking accounts.

But a reminder to always use your online common sense! The Muzzle Up! Project does not sell anything. Any shirts/sweaters are sold on Bonfire. Never click links like these!
