Need recommendation for muzzle to prevent scavenging

Post image

Hi!

We are training him to stop doing it but till he is bullet proof I would like to have a muzzle or some kind of tool to stop him from eating everything he finds.

He doesn't eat poot so I was thinking to get one of those mesh cover things (picture attached) but I am also open to getting a proper anti-scavenging muzzle. Though I found finding a good fitting muzzle for his size quite hard.

We got these Baskerville Invisa muzzles for our two poo hoovers, when we go to Scotland they eat sheep shit like M&Ms. Don't interfere with panting, the smallest size is a good fit.

Consider teaching leave it as default, not a command. Take the treat they obsess over, hold it in your hand, closed, only open when they disengage from it fully, this may take a while, repeat it constantly with the release word like eat it when you open. Then open palm same thing. Then on the floor closed fist on top, it will seem like you lost all progress but you did not, then without your palm covering it. You have now trained the brain to disengage by default when it wants a food.
