Keep your dog safe, understanding muzzles with The Muzzle Movement

In this episode of The Yappy Hour, host Nathan Dunleavy is joined by Clara from The Muzzle Movement, an initiative dedicated to destigmatizing muzzles and educating dog guardians on their importance.
Clara shares the inspiring story behind The Muzzle Movement, from crafting a single muzzle for her rescue dog, Tolly, to running a multi-award-winning business that’s changing the narrative around muzzles. She dives into the misconceptions surrounding muzzle use, explaining why every dog regardless of breed, age, or behaviour should be muzzle trained.
Nathan and Clara also explore the controversial XL Bully ban, discussing its impact on dog guardians, the demand for muzzle training resources, and the emotional and practical challenges faced by XL Bully guardians. Clara shares insights on how to create a more supportive and educated community around muzzle-wearing dogs and how her team is helping dog owners feel more confident through free fitting days and resources.
