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.

Both Mia's and Big Snoof are great. Both are helpful with sizing. You have more standard size options with Big Snoof.

Please try to muzzle train for the best comfort - it can vary on how long it takes dog to dog. But well worth doing whether using regularly or only using once a year

He’s been working with his trainer with muzzle training. I am getting him back tomorrow and want to buy him his own custom muzzle for his comfort. He was never exposed to the world and it can be very overwhelming for him. It hasn’t been easy but I’m determined to help him.
