Not all dogs are easy to muzzle condition, even after weeks of counterconditioning. Some have had poor past experiences with the muzzle or are extremely sensitive to its presence.
Dogs with intense reactivity or aggression resulting from anxiety tend to be the most difficult to muzzle condition. Rather than attempting to utilize strong corrections to create compliance in the dog, try utilizing this tip. Over time, even extreme cases can adapt to wearing a muzzle comfortably.
This technique helps your dog to understand that it is okay to panic and pull the muzzle off. It also allows them to feel empowered to give themselves a break when necessary. More often than not, these dogs find they need fewer and fewer breaks from the muzzle to remain calm and comfortable wearing it.
