Muzzles do NOT make dogs angry!! I live with a fear biter and he is muzzled at times that procedures must be done by myself or the vet and when it comes off he is just fine!
I also spend a lot of time at the groomer. With a pup that has major issues getting nails trimmed, she often will put a muzzle on them. They stand and let it be done and when the muzzle comes off, it is like nothing ever happened.
First of all, we are not talking about angry dogs. We are talking about dogs that have fears. It would be very difficult for me to believe that this puppy is angry. For NOW, I suggest a muzzle at bath time to protect yourself. You won't have to use it forever! With my biter, I am using the muzzle less and less....but he knows when I put it on that I am not going to hurt him! |
