Introducing a Muzzle: The Muzzle Movement
Source: The Muzzle Movement.
We want our dogs to see their muzzles as a really great thing and to enjoy wearing it. Does your dog get excited when you pick up the lead, or go over to the treat cupboard? This is an example of positive association!
Your dog has learned that when you pick up that lead or approach that cupboard, something really great happens! We can build that same brilliant association with the muzzle by pairing it with fun stuff that your dog thoroughly enjoys, such as food and play.
