BARKLESS Dog Muzzle, Basket Muzzle for Biting, Chewing and Scavenging, Humane Cage Mouth Cover, Perfect for Grooming and Training Large Aggressive Reactive Dogs (XL, Brown)

You need to understand that this device isn't going to be a "fix" to your dog's behavior, but rather it's a tool to help aid it. I say this because I have a medium sized red nose pit mix, who is 40 pounds and very muscular for her size. She's a very sweet girl, but unfortunately her animal instinct is too strong for us to be able to control her completely. I've done my best to train her and she is a very good listener, but the moment something brings out that canine nature she can fly off the rails very easily. Triggers like a dog barking or whining, all stuff that make it more difficult to control her in public. That's where this mask came into the equation. She had an appointment today at a mobile clinic to get her annual rabies vaccine and the heart worm vaccine, and I knew I was going to be fighting with her through the appointment as these events tend to be a little chaotic at times. The mask did a great job. It fit her right, and though it was restrictive enough to prevent her from barking, it wasn't too aggressive to where it would hurt her. The rubber is soft, and she can breathe very well through the shape of the mask. The straps also make it easy to adjust/tighten, and because it has a top strap, you don't have to sacrifice losing tightness to keep the eyes unrestricted. This was very important because she does have a bit of a stubbier snout, so I worried it would be digging into her eyes. Still, I felt comfortable tightening it on her for this reason to make it more difficult for her to fight it. The mask is also very light, so if they're distracted enough they'll forget about it being there. Sure enough when vaccine time came around, the mask combined with my control of her kept her on good behavior, and it greatly reduced escalation. Even as she was getting her shots and a blood sample taken, she was calm as I kept reassuring her. I just had to make sure I kept discouraging her from trying to rip it off her face, but it was giving her enough of a tough time that a couple of stern "No's" were settling things down. She wasn't able to get it off once through the event. To the lady that wrote the review accusing this mask of killing one of her pups: I am sorry you had to experience such unfortunate circumstances, however I will be blunt as a responsible dog father and tell you straight up that part of that might've been a fail on your end in controlling your pet. I can't blame the dog itself for having tendencies as I understand and explained that my dog can be the same way sometimes, but that's where it's your duty to step in and make sure YOU as the owner have full control. Either of making sure the situation was contained or planned, or of having full control and restraint of the dog beforehand. One restrictive device wasn't going to make all the difference on that, especially on a bigger, known to be aggressive dog.

I bought this for my Staffordshire Terrier, and overall I’m really happy with it. The first size I ordered ended up being a little too tight, but customer service was amazing—they sent me a replacement right away and even let me keep the original one. No hassle at all. The new size fits perfectly. My dog has enough space to pant comfortably, and he actually seems to like wearing it. The design is sturdy but still lightweight, and it looks surprisingly stylish for a muzzle. If you have a broad-headed dog and need something secure, comfortable, and easy to adjust, I definitely recommend this muzzle. Great product and even better service.

This is the right size for my medium-sized German Shepherd and she is ok wearing it. The strap adjustment is a little difficult (as in, it may have been made a little better) but I would order the product again.

I started a return on this item and wish i had completed it but instead we kept it and it was snug and tight and on the correct way. Well now because your item did not keep her from biting my little dog, in which she proceeded to get the muzzle off after she started the attack. I thought she killed my little boston who is almost 14. Its a wondef she is still alive but because your muzzle failed the dog had to be put down. So we lost one dog and have $1000 in saving my little dog because you claimex she couldnt bite or get out of it. Your claims were false and we r left heartbroken. Dont buy this if u have an aggressive dog it will not keep them from biting. Absolutely hurt and pissed off that i put my trust into your item. You cant being her back and u cant help my little one heal. But u should fix your claims or not sell it. You should be sued for false advertisement. The blood of two dogs are on the manufactors hands. I coild send some very disturbing pics of my little one cause she has stitches all over her but i wont upset others. Yes im pissed off and very hurt and its because the item failed to do what it claimed. Faulty crap cost me my dog and almost my other one and alot of money and has cost my little one alot of pain. FIX IT OR STOP SELLING IT ! Update $1400 and we could not save our 14 yr old. It took me this long to be able to update it has had me in bad shape. Now your product cost me 2 dogs $1,400 and my sanity because all i can see is my dog being attacked and killed in front of me.

This muzzle has a very intuitive design. Its super easy to figure out how to secure it on a dog. It also fit my 85lb american putt bull perfectly. He has a stout wide nose, typical of pitties. I was worried about ordering a muzzle online, when its something you really need to fit right. My pup can also take treats with it on (you have to maneuver the treat in thru the holes but it still works) & he can open his mouth & pant still while its on which is what i wanted. My pup, Taco, really doesn’t need a muzzle. But hes really skittish around new people, especially at the vet. Which makes the vet techs nervous. He isnt aggressive & they typically realize that & let me take it off. But i got sick of having to use the cloth muzzles the vets provide. They always held his mouth completely closed so he couldnt pant or take treats & his anxiety would get so much worse. It really stressed me out. I looked at tons of muzzles, custom made ones on etsy that cost +$70. I finally took a chance on this since the cost was great & im really glad i did! Taco was leash trained using a head halter, so he is comfy with me putting random headwear on him. A dog not used to that may resist but you can train them to use it by holding a treat thru the holes in the front so they have to put their face in to get the treat. I wouldnt snap it on until theyre very comfy taking a treat by putting their face in it.

Mi perro tiene casi 5 años y pesa 30kgs. Es mestizo entonces no puedo decir más que es talla mediano a grande, como un Husky chaparro tal vez. Había comprado un bozal rígido marca Baskerville y le quedó enorme aunque me guié según su tabla. Aquí me guié más por la lista de razas sugeridas y elegí una talla M. Mi perrito es un poco narizón pero su cabeza es pequeñita (no como la de un labrador o un golden, por ejemplo). Le quedó perfecto! Las dos correas se ajustan, y la que pasa por el medio de los ojos ayuda a que no se lo quite tan fácilmente (si lo dejo sin supervisión, sí podría). Yo buscaba esto porque mi perro come todo lo que encuentra, entonces lo usamos en nuestras caminatas de 30-60 minutos. El bozal le permite jadear perfectamente! Y el material es como goma rígida o casi como caucho (NO es silicona super suave o moldeable) entonces no logra pescar basura cuando se la encuentra. Es fácil de limpiar y no le lastima su carita. Lo recomiendo mucho

great muzzle Stops from nipping only problem as it can slide off. and the strap sometimes covers the dogs eye as it slides around as well. Great idea but needs more to keep it all in place and on the face. I will go for another next time hopefully will find one that works better and safer. This will do though most of the time

Great product

Muy recomendable! La talla,calidad y precio todo muy bien

This muzzle is perfect. Measures my dog snout and bought size 2 according to measurements and it fit him perfectly- I didn’t even have to tighten the straps. We are using it because my dog does not do well with touching his ears and feet and both are infected, do medication is needed and in order to apply meds he needs to be muzzled. Thankful it fit, and worked like a charm!
