Wire Dog Muzzles
Muzzle on the dog will allow you to feel more confident in confrontation with it in all kinds of unwanted aggressive behavior will help to avoid serious consequences. Pay special attention to the choice of a muzzle. Muzzle should be lightweight, free, allowing the dog to open the mouth and stick out tongue, hygienic and do not injure the dog, and others.
All these requirements are met muzzles of rather thick leather, which retains its shape well, and at the same time allows the muzzle to be elastic. Metal muzzles looks good, but a header can injure both struck and striking. If the likelihood of bites so large, get a “blank” (not the strips, and patches of leather), muzzle, reliably fixed on the dog’s head. Tight muzzle is uncomfortable for dog as a man and a tight shoe or clothing.
Muzzle should be a harbinger for the dog of a very important and pleasant events, and then the dog will not only allow it to wear, but will quietly move it to snout. What might like your dog? Likely to walk, your kindness, food and play with other dogs. Need to make something that everything what dog like, it received only wearing a muzzle. In order to teach the dog to the muzzle, you’ll need one to three weeks. The term is defined in your perseverance, consistency and stubbornness of your dog.
If used as a positive reinforcement to walk, go outside only with it – never without it.Wearing a muzzle, quickly get down to the courtyard and immediately remove it. Then gradually increase the time wearing a muzzle and a few times for a walk on and off it.
If the dog is actively trying to remove the muzzle, and the threatening tone and distracting leash jerks or commands that require alternative actions (“Heel”, “Sit”, “Down! “), does not help, remove the muzzle and scold the dog, you can even lightly slap and then again put on and immediately change the temper justice with mercy, as much as possible joyfully praise the dog. Or go to meet the dog, help to remove the muzzle and immediately return home or to the entrance. Wait there for 2-3 minutes, and say the most beloved team, “Walk!”, put the dog muzzle and exit into the courtyard.
After the tedious task of training let the dog go for joy break in the muzzle. The same goes for playing with other dogs. If your dog has worked out to perfect a skill, such as movement on command “Heel!”, you can wear a muzzle and on the run time of this reception, preventing attempts to withdraw it with executive command.
As the assimilation of the dog any general disciplinary skills, accustom it to the dog in a muzzle.
If your dog loves the attention and affection, wait until it is wants it; put it on the muzzle and plenty cuddle your dog. But removing the muzzle, immediately stop paying attention to the dog. Gradually increase the interval between putting on a muzzle and the start of your caresses. Over time, reduce the intensity of caresses, and the duration cuddle increase. Perhaps the most difficult to teach the dog to muzzle is the process of donning.
If the dog is not aggressive, just do it boldly and firmly. If there is a risk of being bitten, do the following. Do not feed the dog during the day, and then turn the muzzle in a bowl. Lay a piece of the muzzle and feed the dog lunch or dinner. I think two or three of these feedings will be sufficient. And once again pretend that put a piece of the muzzle. And after the dog put the snout into the muzzle and cannot find anything there, give a piece from your hands. Then for a second (and more!) put a muzzle on the dog and immediately allow the piece. Very gradually increase the time when the muzzle on the dog’s snout.
At a time when the dog is muzzled, you can feed it through the muzzle, gradually increasing the intervals between feeding. When the dog will stay quietly in a muzzle for 2-3 minutes, remove it and put in front of it bowl with a handful of feed. Repeat 2-3 times. At this stage, your goal is to develop the concept of dog:
• Before the dog eats, it sits in a muzzle. In this case, stop feeding the dog with a muzzle and extends up to the presentation of the bowl.
• To better accustom the dog to a muzzle, you can use simultaneously all the exercises described above.
When accustom the dog to the muzzle, try to make it as often as possible and for a long time try to make it be in it.
If the above methods do not help you in habituation to a muzzle, you have to use more stringent methods of using the choke or stun collar. But to do this, contact the instructor in training, read about muzzles for dogs too.
