Muzzles

Lisa/Colin · Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 11:59 am Post subject: Muzzles

After seeing the great pics of your walk yesterday, I too have some questions about muzzles. Luca and the other shepweiler looked like they were having a great time (even though they were muzzled) and now I am definately going to get one for Hektor. I really need to get him back out there in the company of other dogs to renew my confidence in him instead of avoiding the situation Embarassed

As he is better off-lead with other dogs and not so protective, this could be the best way forwards. What types are best? I am leaning towards the fabric one because it doesnt look so scary as the basket one but which do those who already have experience of them prefer?

I like the fabric ones too, but I feel Luka could still get a nip with the ones he has, they dont seem long enough for his big nose, I bought 2 types, the one he is wearing was from the poundshop and he has XL lol but even the mikki one i feel is too short and it was the best fit. I think I would like a basket one just in case tho but i dont think the dogs find them as comfortable

You can try one of lukas if you want, tho Hektor may need a broader one, not sure but let me know if you want to try, i have about 3 of them, lol just in case

I use both types of muzzle. I think JD is comfier with the basket muzzle he is able to breathe better when running around.

I use the fabric muzzle when at the vet.

Excellent - thank you! Basket type it is for walks then (IF needed) and soft for close contact work - I have a Mikki one too but their fitting is crap for Staffies, being short and sturdy of snout Sad
