How to Train Your Dog to Wear a Muzzle in 2023
The law on aggressive dogs has changed. If someone just feels worried that your dog could injury them, it can cause the involvement of the police!

You may find muzzled dogs look intimidating and that, often, other owners will even avoid a dog with a muzzle- which is ironic because they are actually safer than a dog without one!
