2 Days into Muzzle Training...

And I'm alternating between asking Frodo to stick his muzzle into the...well, muzzle, and clipping it hanging around his neck and throwing treats for him. He'll only pop his nose in and out of the muzzle, not allowing it to stay in for any amount of time, but it's a start. I think the muzzle may be a bit too small, but I can't really tell without forcing it on him, which I won't do.

If I can get him to the point where he is comfortable wearing a muzzle then I will definitely be investing in a better built and more comfortable muzzle.

For now I just keep telling myself how much I never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER want a human reactive dog again. I am simultaneously thanking my lucky stars that he has never bitten anyone (though he's been given many chances), and that he makes it pretty darn clear when he doesn't want to be petted/looked at/talked to, now I just need to start listening.

About

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!
