Can the dog still bark while wearing this muzzle?

The dog can do everything with the muzzle on that it can do with the muzzle off, except get a good grip on something for a bite

Yes,I use mine for Jack Russell racing and there is a lot of pre race barking

I wouldn't. It seems the bark limiter just doesn't work at all. It will just be a problem for you I would think.

My experience is that the collar allows the dogs to express themselves quietly -- growls, low unvoiced barks, etc -- and only reacts to a real bark. My dogs quickly learned how much noise they could make with the collar on without setting it off. I think your dog would probably be able to continue growling, unless he growls with tremendous volume.

Dear Magdalena, I don;t think your dog need a muzzle. Chewing on furniture is a sign of separation anxiety (he is simply very stress when you are gone. What you need is to see a trainer who will help you with this issue. Your dog will get worse if you punish him with a muzzle. Good luck

I've never used it that way. I would think that the dog would just run away from you if you did. I put it in a special no bark collar; it goes around the dog's neck and when the dog barks, it squirts citronella across the dog's muzzle. Please not that this does not work with all dogs.

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 :)

The collar emits a very weak sound can only be heard approaching the ear. Be careful to do it may be shocked. The dog listens well that sound. My dog is wearing the collar for over a year and it works perfectly. It is imperative to training the dog as the manufacturer instruction. It is long and tiring but it is very important to do it well.

I don't think a low growl will be enough to set it off. I believe it needs both a vibration and a bark to go off. I've noticed my dog will sometimes still give a low growl when the mailman comes. Plus I only put the collar on during certain parts of the day when I really don't want him to bark. It has been a lifesaver!

Yes. My dog barked once, I had it set to the mildest setting, -- she yelped in response to the shock. Did not bark again. Now I put it on her and do not even turn it on. Only need to use it when I go out and night, and she might bark. When the mailman comes, and I'm home, (I see his truck parked so I know he's coming) I'll put the collar on her (again) without turning it on ... she won't bark. My dog is a jack russel terrier

It has varying degrees of actual shock. My border collie learned not to bark after 3 barks with the collar on the lowest setting. Unfortunately, she knows she can still bark if the collar is not on so have to use consistently. It has held up well.

Sure. If it's a dog that has a neck and barks from time to time this item may work.

Yes, another dog barking can and will trigger the correction. In fact, if you lean to close to your dog and talk to him it can trigger it. It is very sensitive. Not sure about the weatherproof capabilities, my dog only wears it briefly. The prongs are about a half inch, but are mostly coated in rubber except for the tips. I like the the unit for what I need it for (driving in the car my dog would screech like a banshee when he got excited, which would lead to him attacking the other dogs, so this keeps him in check) hope this helps!

I really don't know. Our dog won't bark now when I put the collar on and don't even turn it on. Sometimes if he is barking I will just show him the collar and say "do you want me to put this collar on you?" and he will stop. I don't know you would use it without the collar as you have to inject this directly into the collar as it doesn't have a spray type nozzle..

No, the collar has no automatic response to a dog's bark or actions. For whatever the correction might be, the remote must be used to activate the collar. Barking is not a problem in my case so I'm not certain, but I suppose you would have to leave the collar on and hit the remote when the barking starts. However, the manual warns that you cannot leave the collar on indefinitely as it will irritate the dog's neck. Hope this helps.

Nope, they can even growl without it going off. It is just the bark that sets it off.

OF COURSE,It won't.When your dog barks,the warning tone reminds your pet without immediately applying painful stimulus.At each step,your dog gets to choose whether it's worth the increasing pain to bark again.We have found this technique of progressively increasing sound and shock is not only more humane,it is more EFFECTIVE in breaking the barking habit than conventional shocking bark control collars.PETINER can be adjusted to control the sensitivity of the voice,according to the size of dogs barking.

This muzzle would not provide full protection because the strap that covers the nose does not close completely. The strap only covers the opening, and you can easily place your fingers between the strap and muzzle. This space would make it possible for the foxtails to get into the nose if the dog is sniffing around in them. There is also mesh on both the top and under side of the muzzle.
