Muzzle Training.

After our last trip to the vet's office, where Frodo made the vet quite uncomfortable and reluctant to touch him (despite my holding his collar/head), I've decided that Frodo needs to be muzzle trained before we make another trip to the vet. At this stage I think it is impossible to have someone work on and touch Frodo to the extent that a vet would have to in order to fully examine and diagnose his issues, without pushing him way over threshold.

Yesterday I bought a mesh muzzle with an open end so that I can still feed Frodo treats throughout the training process and while we are at the vet's office.

I am using this video as a basis for the training. I think the trainer in the video breaks it down into more steps than I would have, had I tried training it on my own. This is a good thing because I am a serious lumper.

    You should come to the Sunday morning class to work on this. :) Elizabeth is very good at teaching dogs to wear muzzles, PLUS it's a fun class.

    I would definitely like too!
    We will see how the rest of this week goes and I will let you know whether we will be there. :)

      A training blog about the trials (not the fun kind!) and tribulations of trying to get my 4 year old insecure, reactive, ill-mannered, thick-skulled Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Frodo, ready to move from rural Pennsylvania to the city of Minneapolis in the span of a summer. Grab a seat and sharpen a pencil, class is in session!
