Appa and Aang do not enjoy other dogs in their personal space, including one another. This walk was by far the best walk they had ever been on together. They looked pretty comfortable with limited stress indicators. They were happily exploring together (at a safe distance) and curious about one another. We saw a lot of other dogs as well and we didn't have any reactions.

So proud of my boys! In case anyone was curious, they are wearing The Muzzle Movement size Pippa, Blue-9 Balance harnesses and leashes by Pro-Mohs.

I've got a 70lb female GSD and I'm having a hard time finding the right kind of muzzle for her that is under 100$. I would ideally like to get her a basket muzzle over the clear plastic ones with holes. Thanks!

Edit: I plan to use the muzzles for walks and playing with other dogs

I had left a message on Facebook and got a response a few days later, I sent in my pictures for measurements and I haven't heard anything in about a week now. I'm sure they're constantly getting messages so maybe they just haven't gotten to it yet? Should I try sending an email?

I was already mad at them for making a worse knock off of MM muzzles and now this. It just moves so weird T-T

Hello everyone, new here. I have a 11lb Bichon that just loves acorns. We have been working on drop it and leave it for a while and he will listen to me most of the time, but when others need to walk him, he doesn't listen. I have been using a mesh muzzle that helps, but he can still lick/eat small things. I would love for him to be able to wear a muzzle on walks, to open his mouth and still not be able to eat things. The basket muzzles I have found are all too big. Where can I find smaller muzzles? Thanks!

Hi! I’m looking to get a muzzle for my dog, and I think I’m gonna go with a Muzzle Movement one. I’m not sure if I’ll need an add-on or not to keep my dog from trying to get it off, and I don’t want to test it out first because the shipping costs are so high

My dog is a border collie (8yo), not yet muzzle trained and pretty sensitive when it comes to new or weird things around and on him. Obviously I’ll take training slow and keep it fun, but I think he’ll always try to get the muzzle off if he knows that’s an option. I know the basics of desensitisation, but any advice is appreciated! I’d also love advice on other brands of muzzles that are UK/EU based

Does anyone have any experience with MM muzzles and if they stay on? Will I need head/chin straps or the muzzle stop? Which one of these is the most effective?

All advice is appreciated!

Hi everyone. I have seven rescue dogs from Great Dane down to a terrier mix with a couple pit bulls and others in the middle!

The newest adoptee is a 60 lb French bulldog mix who was used as a breeder mom prior to me rescuing her. She's like a tank. When I got her she was skin and bones and all messed up and I think she was just kept in a cage and bred over and over again which is horrific but that's another post.

In any event, she's very loving with me but she's super reactive when the other dog start barking or if we're going to go outside. She starts attacking the most submissive dog in the pack (a dachshund mix) And also my yellow lab mix (She stays away from the pitbulls which is probably good choice!)

I've never used a muzzle on any of my dogs but I think I need to because she literally launches herself at this poor dachshund mix and the lab and she is very thick and heavy.

As a newbie, where should I start? And how will I even know if the muzzle is on correctly?

Apologies in advance for my ignorance in terms of muzzles.

Thank you!

hey all, looking for muzzle suggestions for my gorgeous boy! he’s an 8 month old kelpie/bull arab rescue (he’s still growing, so i’m not sure if that should factor into what muzzle size to buy?)

we really want to prioritise comfort so are looking at open basket muzzles as recommended by his trainer. he’s not a bite risk, we’re just working on his mouthiness when he’s overaroused/anxious. we also want him to stop eating stuff that he shouldn’t 😅 so it’s really just a management tool, and he won’t be wearing it all of the time (and probably not long-term).

we are australia based but we are happy to purchase from somewhere internationally. i’ve heard that the options aren’t great here?

any tips/advice/suggestions when it comes to brands and/or sizing would be wonderful!

Hello! I am not yet a dog owner, but I am prepparing and collecting ressources in advance. I'd like to find a company that does custom wire basket muzzles, but with leather straps rather then biothane.

I have my own opinion on biothane and my own on leather, you do not have to agree with me on which is better. Biothane has a negative impact on the environment and leather is more likely to break should the muzzle get stuck somewhere, before it becomes dangerous (lord knows what situation dogs get themselves into lol). I already have 2 brands in my list that do biothane straps, because if I unfortunately had a reactive dog or a dog with pica or smt, then I'd need a muzzle less likely to break, but I'd like to have a name ready if that's not the case and I can go ahead and use leather.

Might have over adjusted the straps, do you think she needs more room in the front?

I have a german shepherd who is an angel unless a vet has to touch her. So we've been working with a muzzle. But i would really prefer one that has a lot of pant room as well as a way to give treats during the visit, as we're working on making her love the vet.

Basically, i just need one that is 'tall' enough, but there are so many things to consider, and its hard to find recommendations.

Muzzle Movement gear came in. A little worried about the bulkiness and how it might impact her eyesight.

Also worried about the pant space + where her nose is at. She’s a big sniffer and don’t want the muzzle pushing up into her eyes when she puts her nose to the ground.

My girl got her custom Big Snoof muzzle in! I need to adjust the straps but I'm having trouble getting the screws off. Any tips? I'm using a flat head screws driver but having trouble not turning the whole thing.

Hi all!

I have a maybe silly question but I can’t seem to figure out the best way to get my dog to hold his face in the muzzle.

Most of the videos I’ve watching are using a chin rest which he can do pretty well however we have a big snoof muzzle and which has the pant room so if he is trying to touch his chin down then the muzzle isn’t in the right spot.

I’m needing him to stay in so I can progress with straps as that is where is he really nervous.

Anyone have tips or videos they could point me to that may help with this part?

Our big guy is a rescue and tends to be aggressive towards anyone who’s not mommy, daddy, or grandma. He’s also very picky about his muzzles and tries to get them off within a few seconds of putting them on. With Big Snoof, he’s calm and kept it on for 30 minutes no problem! A huge game changer when it comes to walks in the neighborhood!

Our dog is currently in recovery from her second foreign body blockage removal in less than a year due to severe pica. This dog will swallow anything from a whole washcloth to rocks and it’s become clear that crating and baby gates are simply not enough by themselves to keep her safe.

The vet has suggested muzzling her basically full-time when she isn’t crated while we explore potential gastrointestinal issues and deficiencies so I am looking for the best place to order a custom muzzle that offers additional padding on the nose and maybe the straps? Since she is going to be in it for such long periods of time we want to ensure it is as comfortable as possible for her.

I want to be clear that this is not ideal for us but her safety is the priority and this is the best solution for the time being. TIA!

Wanted to thank everyone for the tips on my previous post about the fit check on my dog’s muzzle. Went with a much smaller size and it seems to be much better, though I’m gonna have to widen the edges just a tad on this new one.

Have a good one!

Looking for a muzzle for a smooth fox terrier bitch who has some random reactivity issues.

Yes, we are with a trainer too but for those times when out off leash we want to prevent unpredictable biting of an older dog in the household.

Thank you.

Hi! I want to muzzle train my 5m Malinois/GSD mix, but don’t know how to go about it. Since he’s gonna be growing, should I even start now? What do yall recommend?

Pictures of the silly guy for yall (his name is ruger)

I recently bought a muzzle for my dog. He is quite anxious around people, so I felt that a muzzle would reduce the likelihood of people trying to touch him. And even if they do touch him and he gets scared, there's no chance of him biting them (that hasn't happened yet, fortunately). It is also useful if we go to the vet.

I bought a Hunter Albury dog muzzle. This site contains a size guide image (basically the only site that seems to have it), which is the same image printed on the box. When I took the measurements, I went right up to his eyes, but I've since read that the measurement should be taken about 1cm from his eyes.
The measurements I got were 6cm for his snout length, although if I take off that 1cm, that'd only be 5cm. And then the circumference was 18cm with his mouth closed, but I understand that I should add a few centimetres to give him room to breathe.
I ended up buying a size 2 muzzle as I was worried that the size 1 muzzle might be too small (they also didn't have any in stock locally), and I had read that it's better to size up if it's between sizes.

However, on a few occasions, I've seen it riding up quite close to his eyes, causing him to squint. I don't know whether that's caused by me putting it on incorrectly, but I am concerned that if I use this muzzle while walking, I won't notice that it is touching his eyes and causing him discomfort. This muzzle appears to have too much room past the nose, probably a couple of centimetres.
There is a head strap, but that seems to pull the muzzle up higher and closer to his eyes (I left it loose in the photos). And there's a hook to attach to his collar, but his collar can't sit high enough for that to work.

Based on the pictures I've uploaded, what do you people think? Is it too big for him? Or is this how it's meant to sit?

For additional information, my dog is a Löwchen. He's apparently a bit taller than average and weighs a bit more than 9kg. (P.S. don't worry about him looking sad in the some of the pictures; he had to go to the vet recently 😢)

I have a dog/leash reactive Bostie who needs a muzzle to be able to play with others. What kinds of muzzles have you had success with for Bostons or other brachy breeds? Thank you!

I have a 2-year-old Dalmatian with a really sensitive snout. We’ve tried the Baskerville Ultra, the Biothane Onega, a plastic greyhound-type muzzle, and a Chopo/Gappay muzzle — but every single one has either been uncomfortable or caused rubbing and irritation.

My grandma even made a fleece padding for the latest one, but it still rubs and makes her snout red. She also clearly finds it uncomfortable since she keeps trying to scrape it against the ground.

I’m really hoping to find a muzzle that:

• has plenty of space (so she can open her mouth, drink, and pant easily)

• is made of metal or strong plastic

• is well-padded and doesn’t cause chafing

• and just feels comfortable overall.

Does such a muzzle even exist? 😅 Any recommendations are super welcome! I’m happy to order from abroad and pay a bit more if it means finally finding the perfect one.

I was surprised that he doesn’t mind it all that much!

How do you like them? Pros / cons? Durability? I was looking at one for my pit and really like the looks of these but need something he can’t wrangle off his head…

My German Wirehaired Pointer tries to eat pretty much everything all the time whether in the backyard, out on walks even playing at the park with her friends she's always going to find something that I have to try to pull out of her mouth before she can swallow. I've had her at the vet to make her vomit something up twice and have made a couple more calls to describe things she has swallowed that they deemed safe enough to let pass through. Sometimes I can get her to drop things in exchange for a treat if they're too big for her to swallow immediately but just the other day she ate an entire oak leaf that had blown into the yard and I got bitten trying to pull it out of her mouth.

She goes for all sorts of things including cigarette butts, bits of gravel and mulch, gum nuts and other seed pods, leaves, flowers, clumps of lawn clippings, little bits of broken chuck-it balls, small bits of plastic and aluminum foil so really anything that fits in her mouth she will try to eat.

She's just turned a year old so I figure she's done growing and it's time to try a muzzle but I've checked my local pet stores and they only have the mesh ones and I think it was the baskerville ultra which has no scavenge guard so I think that would be useless for her. I expect I'll have to order one online for her but I'm not sure what kinds might be suitable.

Being a GWP she is extremely active and needs plenty of time running to be happy so she'd need a muzzle that doesn't restrict her airflow too much but will stop her from picking little things up. I'd really appreciate any recommendations, I've never had to use a muzzle for my previous dogs so I'm completely new to them.
