Muzzle’s carry a stigma that people associate with aggression. However, it’s extremely useful for all dogs to be comfortable wearing a muzzle for a variety of reasons. Wearing a muzzle can become as normal as wearing a collar, harness, or lead. Starting muzzle training at a young age tends to be easier but with time and patience, dog’s of any age can learn how to wear one. Wearing a muzzle may be a legal requirement for certain breeds.
Make muzzle training fun and positive, so your dog knows it’s nothing to worry about!
