I have an akita who is very protective of me around men. He has NEVER bitten anyone, but I need a muzzle in case. Is this one a good choice?

No, this muzzle doesn't allow the dog to breathe. It's only good for a few minutes like at a vet visit. You should get a basket muzzle.

Well, I had a chow previously - similar to an akita, it seems to me. When she was muzzled (like at her vet's) she used a very simple muzzle. I like this design better...allows a bit more jaw movement while still keeping the dog restrained. I seems more comfortable in my way of thinking compared with that simple muzzle.

No, we sent back the 2 we purchased because they do not allow adequate breathing space for the dog.

We didn't end up using it as it didn't fit our dog. It's still in the package.

I also have a treeing walker coonhound for which I use this muzzle and the size 3 is a good circumference but too short for his snout. I'm sizing up one size.

French buldogs are really great dogs I prefer the four foot slip lead. I think it keeps just the right distance. not to far from you but long enough for you dog to be comfortable.

Yes, it's so soft it won't hurt your dogs skin. I use these frequently dry and our dogs love them. Just be careful they don't end up as toys! But again, just fine to use dry. If your dog has a heavy undercoat however like say an Akita these wouldn't be strong enough tp pull it out and you will still need a rake or serrated grooming tool. But that aside these work quite well at getting loose and sheddin fur out. Hope this helps!

Honestly i think its a good gun good accuracy and fair fps. But it wount be strong enough to scar a snake. It would probly make it more angry. I can shoot myself and be fine. If u want to scare snake a recommend u get a pellet/bb gun

I have two of these for two dogs that suffer anxiety. One was a biter when I got him as an adult Chihuahua the other is terrified of loud noises like thunder, etc. The trick is to train the dog to love the shirt first and recognize it as safe. Give a treat every time he wears the shirt for a few minutes and praise, praise, praise him so he understands it is good, not punishment for a bad deed. It works and works well IF you take the time to work with the dog in the beginning with the shirt on.

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 . :/

We have both and two of our dogs, shorter haired, love the Furnimator, as does the short-haired cat. The Border Collie has a very long coat with a lot of undercoat, and I had tried several devices including the Furminator on him The only one he would accept without growling is the Grooma comb, which has poor ergonomics for me for this job. He would not accept the Grooma rake, in which the teeth are more vertical in use.He has no problem with the Oster rake. For me the Oster rake was an excellent purchase.

Yes. I have a 110lb Akita and she hasn't hurt it yet. Have had it at least a year.

I have a new Queensland Heeler and have been using the 18 inch ones with great results. She is learning the difference between a 'play bite' and a 'work bite.' Was surprised to see so many responses for use with animals! Will be buying the 23 inch ones today. People keep looking at my bruised upper arms then at my husband. Thanks for the input!

Olivia, I am the creator of Scaredy Cut and I think it's wonderful for you and your dog that you have a successful relationship with your groomer. If you are getting the grooming your dog needs and wants to be happy and healthy with the groomer then you really don't need to add to that with SCAREDY CUT or any other tool. If you do need to do some maintenance at home you could use SCAREDY CUT to do single cuts only, which would not involve brushing through the hair. Sincerely, Matthew Michel (877) SCAREDYCUT

If you google search baskerville muzzles they have a sizing chart on there. You can then order it here.

YES,YES AND YES! I have one if these and had I not had it...my dogs would be dead! Have used it several times and it works. Do not be afraid to use it. Police were called each time my dog was attacked by Pitts. They told me to keep using it. Anyone who walks their dog and doesn't carry protection is going to wish they had if your dog is attacked.

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

It would be a good first step to try. I bought one collar at first to see if it would work, and then bought the 3 pack. The feliway defuser is also another option but the collar is cheaper and I think more effective in my experience. There are also other odorless options that you can spray in areas to discourage him as well if you would prefer trying those first.

definitely order higher. Mine broke as quick as I got it and ended up piecing one together out of spare parts... you get what you pay for I suppose. Ask a groomer, they are more likely to encounter issues requiring the use of a muzzle...
