I’m sad we can’t just have an open conversation about this without anger. There is no perfect solutions and we must realize each has their pros and cons. I never said I knew all about muzzles. I’m just not a fan of muzzles unless a last resort. The concern you seemed to ignore is what is a pretty big issue these days is the dog can not protect its self if another attacks if it has a muzzle on. I have found many safe areas to walk my dogs without issue. Concrete or even nice side walks generally aren’t full of poisonous stuff and it helps grind their nails down. Lots of dogs eat bugs or in my youngests case throws them around and plays with them. In the northeast there are less poisonous things then in other areas. I have had dogs all my life and never had a poisoning issue on a walk.
