Ensuring you have the correct size is vital. Always try the muzzle on your dog to ensure the right fit. The nylon muzzle should fit snugly, but allow you to insert a finger between the muzzle and your dog's skin. If your dog is prone to biting, always ensure someone is there to assist you to stay safe when fitting the muzzle. Praise your dog and reward them while the muzzle is on to create positive associations and prevent them from starting to avoid it.
