The K9 Pro Conditioning Muzzle is made to introduce dogs to wearing a muzzle and to condition them to it. A larger opening at the front lets you give treats while the muzzle is on. This helps a dog build a comfortable association with it.
It has a basket-style design that is lightweight, flexible and well ventilated while still preventing biting. The dog can open its mouth, pant, drink and bark. A rubber strap wraps around the head, and a soft felt liner lines the nose area. A three-strap design helps keep the dog from easily removing it.
It can be used for muzzle conditioning and training, behavioral assessments, and safe handling. It also helps prevent wound licking and eating rocks, garbage and other unwanted objects. A muzzle training program written by behaviourist Steve Courtney comes with every K9 Pro Muzzle. It can be requested by email from info@k9pro.com.au.
