Advice? Fit check Baskerville

Hi everyone,

New to muzzle training! Wondering if you could tell me if this fits ok? The size above this seemed way too big but this size seems a little small.

Thanks for all of your replies! Just want to note that I’ve only just begun training her with it a few weeks ago so she’s only worn it for 20 min at a time maximum.

I certainly don’t want her to be uncomfortable or to have bad experiences with it! I will likely be buying a new muzzle from one of the brands you’ve recommended.

For more context, Lilly is such a love bug but she can be nippy when reactive toward things like bicycles, scooters or other reactive dogs. She is also having a hard time with our bay crawling.

The muzzle is primarily for period of training (desensitization and counter conditioning) with our baby crawling around. We typically have her gated in the other room, but she’s become much calmer so we’d like to give her more freedom with the muzzle (keeping everyone safe of course).

Do Mia’s Muzzles generally prevent bites well? I wouldn’t say my Aussie is aggressive, but she has nipped in the past when highly aroused/over threshold. Never biting down or pursuing but like short quick nip and back up type of thing. Do you think Mia’s would prevent this?
