what if I have to use this on a dogs muzzle? How do you keep them from licking it??

Just use a very little and rub it in completely - what little they lick off will not harm them and I am sure it will taste awful!! I have been very careful around the eyes and make sure they do not have any extra to rub around their face.

My dog had it on her cheeks and she didn't lick it. As for the muzzle, given them some benadryl to help with the itching. It makes them sleepy too.

I just got the stuff and my dog has a large manage sore on his upper lip near his nose. He will lick anything, including this product and bath water. The product is very runny--even with shaking well--and tough to rub into the wound. He does not seem that phased by the wound, but it is extremely challenging to keep moist; saliva exacerbates this issue and it has started to bleed. Cayenne is about the only thing that worked to keep him from digging in the grass, but I would not try that on a sore. You might end up needing to try a muzzle or something like gentle leader for a short period at least while product dries and exhausting your dogs first before putting product on at night.

Give you dog a good bone and he'll be too caught up with the bone or treat he has then to worry about whats on him

I put it in their mouth and hold the mouth shut until it disolves. Under the tongue has never worked for me with a dog. I would see if you can find the liquid or you can make liquid tinctures out of these pellets. Just google how to do it.

Mine has never tried to lick it off and the groomer that I use recommended this to me and she's big into all natural solutions she told me it wasn't a big deal if they lick it off.

I do not believe these would prevent the dog from chewing, when My dog did have something bothering him, he did pull it off. Sounds like medicine is needed. Good Luck

My dog is a rat terrier about 8.5 pounds, so pretty small. the muzzle did not work well for our dog. It actually took a little skin off his nose, so of course we do not use it. sorry

It totally depends on how determined your dog is. Our 16 lb dachshund is hardly fazed by the highest level. He is very stubborn and he will continue to bark after several "shocks". So on occasion I have to resort to a muzzle, for everyone's best interest . :/

Training is your best bet. However, pet stores do also sell products that would work - we got something to spray onto our dog to stop her biting repeatedly in one spot at the base of her tail.

Get the limbsaver glue on. I got the slip on which works well for 7mag, as good or better then my muzzle break but will move around if bumped hard enough. Both are guaranteed 50% less recoil (slip on or glue on) limb saver.

Depends on where you are talking about. If your dog has longer foot hair then I would suggest using a baby sock by cutting a small hole in the tip to get the nail through. I have a Bichon Frise so his tail has gotten caught before so I totally understand where you are coming from. My best advice in to make sure they don't stick their face down by it when you are dremmeling & when you are on the back feet make sure your tail is put up with a hair clip of some kind.

Use an invisible fence inside of your other fence. I saw inside because for me one thing I don't like about them is your dog may not go out of the yard but other dogs & people can come in. I used one inside of my other fence for a dog who would climb or scale any fence I put him in. Depending on your breed also you may want to trade the regular collar in for a "stubborn dog" collar. I have Rhodesian Ridgebacks & this male when he had the regular collar on just stood there getting zapped & looked at me like - ya right you think this will keep me in? Only 1 of my boys went thru it w/stbn collar on & he thought I needed him. I purchased not the "brand" name invisible fence a cheaper one. Just make sure if you get the wire kind to set it all down FIRST before permnantly installing! Also watch the training video & read the booklet & make sure you train the dog correctly. Do exactly as it says don't cut corners. The newest ones out that are wireless are incredible but a lot more expensive. What is your breed of dog? That would be my best suggestion. Otherwise you will have to secure your fence on the bottom with like 2x4's around the outside nailed to posts. Have a much heavier fence installed & high enough the dog doesn't jump and the weave close enough so he can't climb. The invisible fence would be cheaper & I think a better solution. One other thing I know someone who had a Boxer & theirs got a short in it & the dog stayed right in the circled area. Many folks tell me this they shut theirs off after a while & dog stays right in the boundries. Not so with a RR my two boys checked it every day to make sure it was working. My husband did not ground a new one we put in after moving & it got zapped & ruined (make sure you do that!) & one of my boys knew it was off in less than 1/2 hour & was out.

I don't think you're supposed to let them chew on it. You just brush their teeth with it and put it away. If they inadvertently bite down on it, I don't think that should be any issue.

Use clear nail polish. I didn't the first time and the dog on my gun fell off after I shot it.

Have not found a way-it's WAY too sensitive. It often sprays my dog while I'm putting it on him!

I would try it and different sizes in a pet store that can sell what doesn't fit to someone else, or I would type custom made muzzles in google. I love the Baskerville muzzle and use it with clicker training, we fix almost all types of aggression this way! Be a use they can eat and drink through it, some don't fit well but it's a small price to pay instead of a bite :)

I have this muzzle and use it without attaching to collar. I do believe that if a dog engaged in a "fight" with another dog/animal -- having it attached to the collar would keep it secure. Not attached, I believe it could be easily pulled off if grabbed onto with another animal's teeth etc. What is great about this muzzle is that it does not restrict their panting if hot and they can eat a treat with it on. My dog even grabs on to certain toys and plays with them with this on.

most likely the bull terrier will not be able to fit his muzzle in the grooves. i had a boston terrier who used this and she had a hard time with the grooves.

I would think a medium or M/L would work. The one thing bad about this muzzle is that it doesn't have a strap on the top of the head, so it's pretty easy for a dog to just rub it off their head. It's worth a try, but I've ended up using the rubber muzzle that a big box pet store keeps on the shelf. I had to buy two sizes of that and return one. Better would be to bring the dog with you to try it on. That one is labeled Baskerville but is actually made by Kong. It is the one that my vet recommends. I would not buy any of the other hard muzzles from Amazon. I bought two, thinking that the Baskerville one was so heavy it would be uncomfortable, but one was flimsy and the other had very hard spots that would be very uncomfortable. I've used the Baskerville one several times, and haven't had any trouble with it. (Scarey visits to the vet, toenail clipping before she finally got the idea that treats are worth it!) Good luck with it!
