[nagdu] muzzle question.

[Mária Orovčíková]

Hello debby and all,
thank you everyone very much for your suggestion.
I have a plastic basket muzzle. All I need to know is how to teach 
11-years-old dog to get used to it without salivating too much and 
getting infection.
The muzzle is not small for her.
As for relieving my dog on leash, I am not trained how to do that. I 
know it is not that difficult, but I cannot feel properly her movement 
and what she is doing.
I know some of you might suggest using gentle lead, but I am hesitant 
using it without training how to do it. I've never used it with my dog 
and I have heard if you cannot use it properly you can hurt your dog.
My instructor or trainer is quite far away from where i live, it is 
about 270 kilometers.
I would use the muzzle just for relieving when she is off-leash.
In my opinion it is better and safer for a dog to have a muzzle for a 
while than a dog being poisoned.
I would never let my dog to be hurt or be in the dangerous situation.
With kind regards
Maria and Demi
