DESIGN
- Designed to be worn for extended periods without inhibiting the dog’s breathing, barking, panting or stress responses.
- Designed so dogs can drink while wearing the muzzle, using a water bowl or bucket
USES FOR THE MUZZLE
- Prevents wound licking (replaces the Elizabethan collar in many cases)
- Prevents eating rocks, garbage, poison, etc.
- Prevents injuries from dog fights and conflicts during breeding
- Some transportation companies allow dogs if properly muzzled
- Helps with the handling or training of aggressive or problem dogs
- Ideal for police and protection training
FITTING THE DOG
- The felt noseband should be just below the dog’s “stop” (tear duct of the eye) with the end of the muzzle touching the dog’s nose.
While the muzzle is on the dog, test the fit by:
- – pulling the muzzle out and down
- – pulling the muzzle out and up
If it comes off, it is either:
- – too loose because straps are not tight enough, or
- – too big for the dog
The muzzle should fit comfortably and allow the dog to pant and bark.
