    • Things to Avoid When Muzzle Training
    Positively introduce the muzzle by placing it on the floor with ‘high value’ (yummy) treats in and around it.
    Give them their meals next to the muzzle for a few days.
    Once your dog is comfortable with the sight of their muzzle (i.e. they don’t react, or react positively to it), start encouraging them to put their nose into it by giving them treats through the gaps.
    Start with gaps close to the entrance, then gradually move the treats further into the muzzle until your dog is happy to take one from the end.

    Start holding (but not fastening) the muzzle straps behind your dog’s ears and give them a treat.
    Hold them for just a few seconds before gradually building up.
    Repeat until your dog is totally comfortable having the straps held behind their ears.
    If your dog shakes the muzzle off, don't tell them off. Go back a step, take the training a bit more slowly, and remain patient.
    Fasten the muzzle and give your dog a treat. As soon as they have finished their treat, take the muzzle off.
    Repeat this process, gradually increasing how long your dog wears the muzzle for each time.
    Try a little walk around the house/garden together with the muzzle on.
    Remove it if they seem stressed at any point.

    Never rush.
    Never use a muzzle as punishment, it should always be a positive experience.
    Never leave your dog alone with their muzzle on as they could get caught and injure themselves.

  7. Play with the muzzle’s straps but stop if it startles your dog. Tighten the straps and then loosen them to get your dog used to putting it on and taking it off. Once you can get it on and secure and your dog is comfortable, give them a treat. Get your dog used to wearing a muzzle around the house before you head outside.
