There can be many great reasons to muzzle train every dog , just in case they ever needed it. These include:

🐾Accidents and emergencies – if a dog is in pain they can be unpredictable sore and aggressive in an attempt to protect themselves. Placing a muzzle on them without any training before hand can stress them out even more and could mean treatment is delayed. This can happen with ANY dog even if they have never shown aggressive behaviour before.

🐾Summer – As you may have seen in the news, very sadly a dog attended a tulip festival and after eating some passed away. More people will be having picnics due to the lovely weather and we don’t want a stressful and expensive vet trip if your dog eats something.

🐾A change in behaviour – a muzzle keeps your dog, people and other dogs safe. 

🐾Travel – Many ferries and countries have rules that dog’s must wear muzzles. 

There is also a good website here, that takes you through steps.

I am going to host a muzzle training workshop - you can find out more here.
