BARKLESS Basket Muzzle for Large Dogs, Humane Muzzle to Prevent Biting and Scavenging, Snap-on Treat Cover Helps Dogs Acclimatize Mouth Cover, Adjustable Mouth Guard for Positive Training, Grooming

Features

• SIZE L for Large Dogs: This option Size L is ideal for large breeds like Golden Retrievers and Belgian Malinois. The breeds listed above are for REFERENCE only. Be sure to measure your dog’s snout circumference and snout length accurately before purchasing, and refer to the size chart for the best fit. The tip of the nose should not touch the muzzle. A proper fit ensures comfort and effectiveness
• Snap-on Cover for Muzzle Training: The snap-on treat cup is a convenient distraction tool—fill it with peanut butter or other treats to make introducing the dog basket muzzle to puppies easier and stress-free. This feature also helps keep your dog calm while visiting vets and groomers. The slow feeder attachment enhances the positive experience by prolonging your dog’s engagement, encouraging them to keep their snout inside the dog muzzle for grooming longer than traditional treat rewards
• Acclimatizing Your Dog to Wearing a Muzzle: When your dog wears a dog muzzle for the first time, he may feel strange and restrictive and try to remove and chew on it. To prevent this, it’s crucial to perform desensitization training before using bite proof muzzles regularly. Begin by encouraging your dog to place their nose into the muzzle using treats, then briefly secure it, remove it, and reward them immediately. Gradually increase the duration the basket muzzle is worn, allowing your dog to adjust at their own pace
• Ensure the Muzzle Stays Secure on Your Dog: An improper size, poor fit, or lack of training can cause a dog to remove the cage muzzles for dogs. Adjust the straps for a snug fit—tight enough to keep the basket muzzle securely in place without causing discomfort. Double-check the head strap to prevent slippage. If your dog tries to remove the snap-on treat cover by rubbing their nose or scratching, redirect their attention with a treat or favorite toy to discourage this behavior
• Scavenging & Biting Prevention: If your dog has a tendency to scavenge and eat anything, this dog mouth guard is a true lifesaver. The BARKLESS anti-scavenging muzzle comes with a snap-on slow feeder pad to prevent biting, wildlife scavenging during walks, eating rocks, and licking wounds after surgery. It blocks access to food and harmful objects while still allowing your dog to pant and drink comfortably
