A well-trained dog won't bark when it's bedtime - they cuddle up and go to sleep with you. If you will train your dog in basic obedience daily, enrich its life with lots of daily exercise, challenging games and lots of loving and play sessions, you won't have a dog that ever needs a muzzle. The well-trained, happy, fulfilled dog will be proud and happy to live alongside you without needless barking and misbehaving.
