It's a good idea to muzzle train all dogs as there will inevitably come a time when they need to be muzzled. For example, most Veterinarians will want to have a pup muzzled when injured so they can be examined safely. And, you don't want that to be their first exposure to a muzzle. Also, some people muzzle train their dogs for competition as it’s a required exercise in a competitive sport called French Ring. Others may muzzle train their dogs for group walks to insure the safety of every dog in the walk.

This is a location to discuss your dog training goals and endeavors with other like-minded people. To help support the group, I will be doing live Q&A’s every few days or so.

And some countries require it for if they're travelling on public transport for example
Makes me realize how badly ppl treat dogs in general... Most ppl would just strap the muzzle on and yell at their dogs if they protest or start barking :-(
Planning to get a dog later this year - I absolutely love your vids and use them as a way to educate myself on how to treat and train a dog properly. Thank you for this channel, it's greatly appreciated (and a lot of fun to watch :) )!!! I'm sure
Thank you! I appreciate that and I'm happy you've been enjoying the videos. Cheers! :)
Thanks for the video Nat. I definitely needed to see this and teach my GSD to be comfortable with the muzzle so that option is always available to him/us, especially at the vet.
Glad it was helpful! 😁🐶🐕
Oh my god. Now i'll start teaching my dog right from the beginning again 😀😀
Thanks for this video! I plan on muzzle training my dobe in the future so he is prepared for any situation, but wasn't sure where to start for that.
Thank! I'm happy it was helpful!
Very useful information, thank you Nat !
Any tips on how to train my dog to guard !
Thanks Omar! Yes, that is on my list of video to make. Send me an email and I'll send you a simple breakdown on how to start this: NateSchoemer@gmail.com
@@NateSchoemer I'm looking forward to the video too, Nate. Just like how I taught my dog to bark and be quiet on command, I'd like to learn to teach him to guard and unguard/stand down. I think this would be very helpful for me with my GSD.
I got my dog comfortable enough to taking treats from the muzzle, he then began wearing the muzzle. I worked with him for about a month doing this. He wore it, I fed him treats with it on, I took it off. It all went fine, until I used the muzzle for a very nessesary grooming session, he hates getting his nails trimmed so one has to hold him while another trim the nails, it wasnt done in panic or with force, just four steady hands and calm demeanor) Now he refuse the muzzle and will become aggressive because he seem to make an association with the muzzle amd nail trimming. How do you start over in that situation when he has created avoidance and will bite when you try to lock the muzzle?
What if he or she is trying to get it of with the front legs anyways? I was trying not to force him to wear the muzzle with the exact same way except that in the beginning i introduce him with the muzzle and i let him sniff and find out a little bit what that thing is and before i put it on him, i put it around the neck just to be okay with the whole thing and he was doing great but as he was keeping it longer, he was trying to take it of with his legs but he still wants to put his nose inside....what am i doing wrong?
Could you please explain How to start using the e collar?
Check out my free audio book. I discuss e collars in it: th-cam.com/video/ERmJnSwGS4Q/w-d-xo.html
Hi Nate! How old should a dog be before introducing this? Also, do you have tips on how to desensitize a puppy to objects and sounds?
You can start this at any age. However, I usually teach it when the pup is around 7 months of age. Confidence building helps prevent a dog from having fear issues, but what if those issues are already present in our dog? This is when we use counterconditioning and desensitization. Counterconditioning is very similar to confidence building, but the main difference is that we use counterconditioning to help a dog overcome something they may be afraid of.
For example, your dog is afraid of the vacuum cleaner:
• Expose the dog to the vacuum cleaner while it’s turned off.
• Reward the dog with high value rewards just for being comfortable with the vacuum cleaner. The dog will start to associate the vacuum cleaner with high value rewards.
• Start moving the vacuum cleaner around the carpet (turned off). Again, reward the dog for behaving and being comfortable, but not if they’re barking at it.
• Turn the vacuum cleaner on, then off, treating it like a marker. Reward the dog.
• Keep turning it on and off, and eventually leave it on, and reward the dog. Now, the dog will no longer associate the vacuum cleaner negatively at all. You can also simulate the sound on your phone. Starting at a low volume and gradually increasing it as the dog becomes more confident.
Here’s another few examples: When I'm training a sports protection dog, they have to become desensitized to gunshots, because one of the exercises requires the dog to bite the decoy (person in bite suit) while the decoy is firing a blank pistol. We do this by first firing the blank pistol at a distance that doesn't trouble the dog. As the dog becomes more comfortable with the sound, we slowly, over time (could be weeks or even months), bring the gunshots closer and closer to the dog, until the dog isn't bothered by it at all. Keep in mind that each dog will take a different amount of time to learn a new behavior or increase in confidence.
I had a dog that I was working with a few years back that was terrified in public, and in two weeks I was able to fix the issue. Here's what I did with that dog using a combination of desensitization and counter conditioning: First I ONLY fed the dog and did obedience outside of the house. The first day I was in my front yard training, as the days progressed, I slowly moved to more locations with slightly more activity. As the dog's confidence continued to go up, we went to even more locations with more activity. By the second week I was doing obedience with the dog inside of a local Home Depot and a Petsmart. It's important to keep in mind that I did not feed the dog in the house where the dog was comfortable. I wanted the dog to associate the public locations with the pleasant experience of training and food rewards.
The idea is to be on the same team as your dog, rather than having a relationship based on fear, or the belief that the owner needs to be the "alpha".
Proper socialization early in the dog’s life will also help with confidence building.
@@NateSchoemer Thank you for your prompt and thorough response! I am picking up my golden retriever puppy on Saturday and have a plan, thanks to you and your videos. I wrote down a list of things that I want to do with my golden in the future. I want to go hiking and fishing, for example, with him when he is older. Therefore, I plan on introducing him to the trail and to kayaking, and swimming as soon as possible. I also know golden are big scaredy-cats. My list of sounds and items is quite long but I figure if I bring him with me to places where there are many things going on, he will be less nervous in the future.
What is muzzle used for?
It's a good idea to muzzle train all dogs as there will inevitably come a time when they need to be muzzled.

Why do you say "free" instead of yes?
You can say whatever you like for your makers. For the dogs I train, "Free" means release plus reward. :)
