Instructions
Step 1
To train your dog to the muzzle was easier, it is imperative to choose it in size. The muzzle should not fall off or dangle on the dog's head, but at the same time it is necessary that she can drink in it if she wants to, throw out her tongue when she is hot.
Step 2
When you have found a comfortable muzzle, you can start training. First you need to get the dog to get to know the new subject. Let your dog smell it, but never turn the muzzle into a toy. Use the muzzle like a bowl, putting your favorite dog treat inside, so that she gets it, sticking her nose deep into the muzzle. When the dog performs this action, be sure to praise him, pet him. So you need to do this for several days so that the dog has pleasant associations with the appearance of the muzzle. When the dog gets used to the fact that you can get something tasty from the muzzle, you can proceed to the next stage of the study.
Step 3
When the dog sticks its nose into the muzzle to get the treat out of there, quickly put the strap over the head and immediately give it another piece through the hole in the muzzle, leaving it on the head for a few seconds. Repeat this a few more times, increasing the time.
Step 4
In most cases, this is enough to get your dog into a calm attitude towards the new subject. And if you put a muzzle on it every time before a walk, then after a while your dog will bring it to you, knowing that this is the only way it will get on the street.
