Train your Dog to Wear a Muzzle
A muzzle is an effective humane tool for dog training.
The wire basket or the Italian basket 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.
You should slowly introduce your dog to the muzzle.
Let the dog sniff the muzzle.
Put treats in the muzzle and let him put his nose inside to get the treats out.
Some customers use peanut butter, dog food, cheese or any treat that your dog likes. Make the muzzle a happy and positive experience.
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 the muzzle on with getting to go outside.
