With time, you can actually work up to fastening the muzzle. At first, just fasten it and take it off right away. Gradually leave it on for longer periods – but be unpredictable. Sometimes remove it immediately; other times leave it on for longer. Vary the places where you put the muzzle on (including doing it outside, in the garden or while you’re out for a walk) and vary the times of day that you practice. But remember to always associate wearing the muzzle with something your dog likes, such as going for a walk or being fed food treats while wearing the muzzle. By keeping your dog active and feeding them treats you’ll also reduce the opportunity for them to try and take it off. How to properly fit a muzzle One of the biggest features that drew us to this muzzle was the generously sized front openings for the nose and bottom jaw. This was a crucial feature for two reasons: The muzzle itself is made of high-quality thermoplastic rubber (TPR) which is durable and hard wearing, but also malleable and soft. This allows the muzzle to maintain its crucial basket shape, but still bend and give when necessary. In addition, the Baskerville muzzle was safe to use while swimming, as we didn’t have to worry about water logging or degradation.

If you've ever used a mouth guard while playing sports like rugby, it's a very similar fitting process. Gradual exposure to difficult situations may be part of an overall behaviour program. At these times, it’s appropriate to use a muzzle and to push your dog’s comfort level in a careful, measured, and controlled way. The Baskerville Ultra comes in six sizes, which supposed to fit dogs from a Maltese to a Bull Mastiff. Since this is a big scale, there are significant jumps between the sizes, so many owners find themselves in a situation where one muzzle is too small, but the bigger one is too big on their dog.

This allowed us to classically condition him to having it on and create positive associations. In addition, the extra room prevented his mouth being restricted and highly sensitive nose getting repeatedly rubbed (which, of course, would have caused negative associations, contrary to what we’re wanting!).
