We don\u2019t want a dog feeling like the muzzle is a punishment because it\u2019s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with desensitisation. Initially have the muzzle laying on the ground with treats surrounding it, then we move onto putting tasty stuff inside so your dog can pop its nose in and out at their own free will. Things like cream cheese or meat paste will mean your dog has its nose in there for longer periods of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having it in a cup initially, then moving to you holding it gets you closer to the next step.

The most important thing is that your dog has positive associations with the muzzle. So the more treats and rewards the better.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even if you have the friendliest dog in the world, it\u2019s always worth muzzle training because you never know if there\u2019s a situation that they might need it.
