Remember to start the training by offering doggie treats each time your dog sees the muzzle. The idea is to make them associate the muzzle with enjoyable things. Then lay it down on the floor and give your pet a reward each time he moves toward the muzzle on his own, up to the point where he touches it.
Next, encourage your pet to put his snout in the muzzle, even just for a quick second. Never use force to make him put his snout in. Slowly increase the time that your pet’s snout is inside. Use a doggie treat or peanut butter that is dog-safe on the muzzle’s inside. As your pet relaxes during this part of the training, the next step is to fasten the muzzle around the animal’s ears. Again, the time for how long it stays fastened must slowly build up through multiple sessions.
Ensure that you conduct your training sessions within an environment that is not stressful and is familiar to your pet. Try to keep training sessions under five minutes, use rewards that have a high value to your pet, and do not try to skip or speed up any of the steps.
