Dog Muzzle Training
A muzzle is an effective humane tool for dog training.
The basket type dog muzzles are the best for the dog because the basket muzzle will allow them to pant and drink water.
Muzzle training your dog does not need to be hard and stressful.
Slowly introduce the dog to the muzzle.
Let the dog sniff the muzzle.
Put treats in the muzzle & let him put his nose inside to get the treat out.
Some customers use peanut butter, dog food or treats. Make the muzzle a happy and positive thing.
For some dogs getting them comfortable with the muzzle can be done within 20 to 30 minutes, for other dogs it might take a few days.
Once you feel the dog is not afraid of the muzzle put it on him.
During this time be sure to praise him.
Some dogs actually associate putting their muzzle on with getting to go outside.

For most basket dog muzzles, the dog should be able to put his snout in a water bowl and
lap the water up from inside the basket muzzle.
Drinking water is something that your dog will have to figure out on his own.
LENGTHIf you get the dog muzzle too long, it will get in the dogs eyes.
If you get the dog muzzle too short, the dogs nose will be pressed up against the end of the basket.
