Mayerzon Dog Muzzle, Basket Muzzle for Small Medium Large Sized Dogs, Muzzle for Dogs to Prevent Biting for Grooming Scavenging, Breathable Muzzle for Husky Golden Retriever Labrador Beagle

Note: When measuring my dog, I added half an inch intentionally to the snout circumference to allow for a bit of growth, as he is only 9 months old. Q: Does this muzzle offer enough room for a full pant? A: The design allows for a moderate pant on a large dog (i.e. my German shepherd / Labrador retriever mix), though not quite a full pant. It would need to be taller in height (vertical/nose to chin) to allow a full pant for my dog, but this is a great start for folks who want or need to condition their dog to wearing a muzzle. Q: Is it easy to feed treats through this muzzle? A: As long as you are using small training treats that will fit through the holes, yes! Q: Is it easy to take off of my dog? A: Incredibly easy to remove, yes. You just unclip it like any regular collar clip. Q: Is it comfortable for my dog? A: Make sure that you've measured correctly, and it should be decently comfortable. The key is to slowly desensitize your dog over the course of a few weeks. I recommend starting with a large bowl and training your dog to voluntarily put their face into the bowl to eat treats at the bottom while you hold onto the bowl between both hands, to mimic the way you would need to hold the muzzle. Q: Why would I need this muzzle over the other options out there? A: This muzzle allows for a wider pant, or otherwise allows the dog to breathe better while exercising. It is also softer and a little less painful when your dog inevitably decides to muzzle punch you, another dog, or another person. You should consider training your dog to wear a muzzle if you have a dog with any type of reactivity, be it fearful, exciteable, or aggressive reactivity. Q: Will this muzzle lessen barking, growling, or whining? A: The purpose of this muzzle, like any other muzzle, is to prevent your dog from biting, not to prevent barking. No muzzle will truly prevent barking. Please do NOT buy a muzzle with the intention to make your dog stop vocalizing. Talk to a local behavioral-educated dog trainer to manage unwanted vocalizations. Q: How can I make it easier to encourage my dog to willingly put their face in it? A: I have found that smearing some canned dog food along the bottom half of the inside, just in the very front, and setting the muzzle in the freezer (with the straps clipped on the "wrong" side of the muzzle so they don't get stuck out weird) for 20-30 minutes, really helps with sensitive dogs who need that extra bit of encouragement. Make sure to hold the muzzle for them for the first few days, even when it is clipped together on them, to prevent head shaking and other less than ideal behaviors.

Leider passt der Maulkorb irgendwie garnicht. Die Kanten sind sehr scharf und kein vernünftiger Abstand zu den Augen einstellbar. Material sehr steif. Für mal 10 Minuten im Bus bestimmt ok aber für längeres tragen ungeeignet.

Our female dog ... nervous aggressive. 3 behaviouralists, 2 trainers and a lot of time and money ... the conclusion is that this is simply not curable but has become manageable. She is no longer a danger (we think) but cannot be sure. Our anxiety affects her. So to remove our anxiety we have tried a number of muzzles all of which she wears relatively happily. The Baskerville was too heavy and packed quite a punch, the metal basket variety was lighter but still packed a punch and maybe we didn't get a good one but it rusted. This one ... works best. It's lightweight on her and soft on us... she is happiest in it and while giving treats is nigh on impossible she can pant, yawn, drink and grin at us. She just gets a whopper of a treat at the end now (Iceland burgers... the dog's nuts of treats!!). Have ordered a second as cannot bear the thought if not having it available. As an added bonus... a concerted 1 hour "I will remove this" at the beginning ... achieved nothing... and had no impact on the muzzle at all. I am 100% satisfied with this purchase (though quicker delivery would have been nice).

This works amazing for my reactive Australian shepherd. This is the most bite-proof muzzle we've tried and does not make him look scary because you can't see it from a distance. I had to modify it to make sure he couldn't take it off, but for the price I was incredibly impressed!

The measurements given in the pictures are referencing the sizes the muzzle will fit, not the actual muzzle itself. I can only say what the XL measurements are as thats the one I purchased. The actual measurmenta of the muzzle itself are as follows: 15.5 " circumfrence, 3.5" along the top of the nose, & 5.5" from nose to chin down the front. I am giving the actual measurements to help anyone who is unsure if it will fit their dogs. My GSDs measurements himself are: 4.75" long muzzle & 12.5" circumference. This muzzle fits him decently with a bit of adjustment and gives him a good amount of room to pant (not a full pant but better then I expected) I was skeptical of this muzzle because of the price point. It feels like it is well made. It did come a little bent out of the package so I had to shape it back to form a bit but that isn't really a big issue, I took a star away for that. I would not say this muzzle is absolutely bite-proof, but does a fairly decent job of it. If a dog really wanted to bite they could probably find a way to do so, but I would say this works well in general for most reactive dogs in training. I haven't used it too much out if the house, but my boy doesn't seem to mind wearing it (I have muzzle trained him with different muzzle so this wasn't his first muzzle). Its light and let's other dogs see his facial communication well. I might cut open the holes near his mouth a bit bigger to give treats, but still undecided on that. All and all, a good muzzle for the price and works well for what it is.
