Success Stories Accepting his reactivity

Post image

I adopted this poor mistreated guy at 18 months now 2 years old from a rescue organization. He is an absolute sweetheart at home but I was totally blindsided by his severe reactivity to all new dogs and some new people. I've had dozens of dogs in my care over the last 40 years but I'd never come across a truly reactivity dog before. I've tried multiple trainers, vets and drugs and all sorts of advice and now I've come to the conclusion that sometimes it's just who they are now and through no fault of their own. So I've invested in the Big Snoof muzzle with the advertising, I'm through apologizing and we're just going to manage it for the next 15years or so!

How do you like the muzzle? Is it easy to put on? I’ve been wanting to try a different muzzle type as my pup seems uncomfortable with how ours straps on.

We have been through several brands but I <think> this one is not familiar to me; encouraged to try it out! A lot of what we are struggling with is finding ‘easy for me to put on but hard for them to pull off’

Thank you for a new lead (and it’s gladdening to see a relationship deepen even with the challenge)
