There are many reasons why you might need to get a muzzle for your dog. Muzzles are sometimes recommended by trainers whilst building the confidence of a nervous dog or socialising a dog who has a history of being aggressive. Muzzles are sometimes needed at the vets, groomers or when travelling with your dog abroad. They are often only needed for short periods of time, but it is a good idea to muzzle train your dog so that if it ever is necessary it is not stressful for your dog. The best muzzle that we can recommend is the baskerville muzzle.
Why we needed to try a Baskerville Muzzle
We started to muzzle train our Patterdale Terrier for several reasons. Firstly, he started to get a bit nippy with other dogs and was muzzled at doggy daycare! Secondly, we are considering travelling or moving abroad. Thirdly, we started to realise that there would be some exceptional circumstances such as the vet where he might need muzzling and if he was trained to take a muzzle it would minimise his stress.
