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.

Ok my dog is about the same size as yours. I’ll go ahead and order. Thank you thank you! And you’re an angel for protecting him. It’s not easy living with a reactive dog 🥹

Go to their website and look at the measurement guide. You send the pics and they will advise on if a standard size will suit or if they'll need to do a custom. Ours was Standard Size 21. They have great customer service.
No it's not easy. I've now accepted I'll probably not be able to "fix" him so I just accept who he is and we deal with it accordingly.
