We do not like dog muzzles. It is treated as if we kept a child on a leash. But dog muzzles are indispensable in certain cases.
We cannot get along without muzzles on dogs which we cannot control. If a puppy bites, you can find many reasonable troubles for not putting a dog muzzle on your pet.
Sometimes you may get a requirement from the courts to put a muzzle on the dog:
1) For violent behavior in the puppy history.
2) For a puppy of definite aggressive dog breeds, that is legally required to wear a muzzle in definite regions (even for a puppy without acts of violence in the behavior history).
Dog muzzles are not the salvation for dog aggression. A dog muzzle is a tool to prevent biting.
A dog muzzle may be the reason of growing aggression if worn on a puppy. It is natural for a dog feeling uncomfortable and not natural being muzzled.
That's why it is very important to choose a proper muzzle size and model individually for the dog breed and the size of your dog.
A dog muzzle for aggressive dog is just a temporal safety precaution. In the order to stop dog aggression and dog biting we should use both the precaution tools (dog muzzles) and special dog behavior correction training with the help of a professional dog behaviorist.
It is natural that dogs don't like muzzles. They restrict moves and in many cases are uncomfortable artificial devices created by people.
But if your dog is induced to wear a muzzle for its own safety (i.e. stop picking up from the ground and prevention of poisoning, to be taken to a vet to get proper help) or the courts prescription, you must pick up one most comfortable for your dog.
The best dog muzzle is a muzzle that allows a dog drinking, panting and breathing free.
The best dog muzzle is also designed for a definite dog breed. Of course a French Bulldog muzzle will not fit Siberian Husky.
