I have greyhounds and they are muzzled all the time and they start at a very early age. So when I leave they are muzzled, but the littles are crated with no muzzle. (they are crated for about 3 hours until the kids get home from work)
How long will they be crated? More than a few hours and I think I would board or have someone pet sit.
I didn't read all the responses, but why would you muzzle a "little" anyway? A good muzzle they can eat, drink and bark with it on! |
We got the muzzles to help with barking - they can drink with it on, but they really don't bark to much with them. I use the muzzles when I need to quiet them down - sometimes they are just too embarrassing when they bark ballisticaly. I did go out to the boarding kennel, and I will probably board them. I'd rather not, because there is very little human interaction there, but they would be taken care of & safe. I was thinking the muzzles in a crate were a bad idea, which is why I posted - thanks!
