When is it Appropriate to Use a Dog Muzzle? - EMERGENCIES: An injured dog who may bite due to severe pain or fear, this dog muzzle can keep safe. - KEEP PEOPLE AND ANIMAL SAFE: If dog is aggressive and has bitten another dog or a person in the past, this behaviour must be addressed proactively with a behaviourist, veterinarian,and/or trainer. - GROOMING SESSIONS: When properly desensitized (hint: it starts in puppyhood), most dogs are accepting of grooming procedures. However, some just never seem to get used to it, so a muzzle may be a safe bet, especially when the dog is not familiar with the groomer. - TRAVEL ABROAD TOGETHER: Some states or provinces have breed specific legislation (BSL), which requires certain so-called "dangerous breeds" to wear a muzzle when not on private property.

Repeat until he indicates that the muzzle looks interesting in a good way. 3. Hold the muzzle with one hand and a treat with the other hand, so he needs to put his nose inside the muzzle to get the treat. Repeat until this step is no big deal. 4. Gently slip the muzzle onto his nose and give him a treat. Remove the muzzle immediately. Repeat a few times. 5. Put on the muzzle and fasten the buckle. Treat. Remove immediately.
