If we have a reactive dog, that is, an animal that gets nervous when it is with others of its kind or with other people, or if we live with a dog considered to be dangerous breed, we must make sure that both our friend and the others are going to be fine, so we will have no choice but to put a muzzle on it.
This accessory is not usually well seen by humans, as we automatically associate it with potentially aggressive animals. However, this should not be the case, as it is simply a security measure, sometimes mandatory, that we have to take. So if you need to know how to muzzle my dog, do not stop reading.
Putting a muzzle on a dog should be a simple task, but to achieve that it is essential that the animal associate it with something pleasant. So, with treats on hand, We will ask you for a »Sit» or »Sit» and we will put the muzzle inside the house for a few seconds without tying it well; simply to get used to wearing it little by little. We will give you a treatwe'll wait a few seconds and remove the muzzle.
After a while, we will put it back on, this time well placed. Again, we will give him a dog treat and praise him so you know that what we want is that, to keep calm while wearing it. Y we will repeat the next day, but this time, we will allow more time to pass from when we put the muzzle on it until we give it a treat.
Little by little and as the days go by, we will notice that our beloved furry is feeling more and more comfortable with the muzzle, so that we can start to put it on to go out for a walk. Of course, we do not have to forget the prizes to give them from time to time.
This way you are sure to feel good wearing the muzzle.
