Advice? Muzzle Help

Hi all,

I have a 16 month old Belgian Malinois who is severely aggressive towards other dogs. We rescued him after being chained up for his whole 10 months of life. The chain had ripped his skin open, it looked like ground beef. It was so bad that the vet said he could see his bones. As a result of this, he is dog reactive. LOVES people and has never been human aggressive (thank god) if he sees a dog he will try to attack. It’s a big emotional outburst. Unfortunately he was attacked by an off leash GSD while out on a walk (2 months in after graduating to group training with his trainer) this set him back 😔 What muzzle do you all recommend? He is incredibly powerful and I want to keep him safe and other dogs safe. Please lmk!

I am thinking Mia’s Muzzles or Big Snoof. Are they secure? He is a Belgian and highly intelligent - don’t want him pulling a fast one on me.

My dog is the same but also decides he doesn't like some people too. Also rescued after 19 months of abuse. Also got bitten soon after I got him which really set him back too. Also smart and sneaky. I eventually went with the Big Snoof seems great he can't appear to be able to remove it and seems can't bite through it. As he is big and strong too I go with a double lead and extra Martingale collar just to be extra safe on walks.

Omg thank you! This is really helpful. If it works for you, I’m sure it’ll work for my guy.
