If you have a Bully xl you are probably already aware & very worried about the proposed upcoming ban. One of the requirements will be for your dog to wear a muzzle in any public place. You will need to de-sensitise your dog to a muzzle to avoid them being stressed, anxious when wearing one & I strongly advise that you begin now. . Below is a super video which will guide you step by step through muzzle training.
It is actually a really good idea to de-sensitise any dog, whatever breed, to a muzzle, Any dog even the most passive, friendly can become reactive if they are suffering any sort of pain, as can an anxious, nervous dog. So if they are used to wearing a muzzle it will reduce the extra stress that would result from one just being put on them at vet or groomer visits for instance. Muzzles can also be very useful for dogs that have a habit of picking up & possibly swallowing everything they come across when out & about & so can keep them safe.

A video guide to created to assist you in teaching your dog to enjoy wearing a muzzle.
