[nagdu] muzzle question.

Fri Apr 3 18:47:08 UTC 2015

I agree, relieve on the leash.
there is no way that i would ever muzzle my dog and then let it run free.  you are taking away it’s ability to defend itself.  i am sorry to say but, not all dogs are friendly, and not all people want dogs around.
use common sense handlers.  don’t let these wonderful guides into harms way.
