[nagdu] muzzle question.

[Becky Frankeberger]

Could there be a sharp part inside of the muzzle? I have never heard of one
cutting a dog's mouth so they get infections. So check that first. Secondly,
perhaps if the dog is dragging the muzzle through the dirt or something
similar, it might need to be washed between times the dog uses the muzzle.

Just wanting to help, warm smile.

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
