When Should You Put Your Dog On A Muzzle

 

On some occasions, you will have to put a muzzle on your dog. Even if you think that your dog is well-behaved, you still need to cover his mouth.

Some states require that dogs have a muzzle when they go to a public place. This requirement is breed-specific legislation (BSL) and must be followed accordingly. Even if you think that your dog is well-behaved, you still need to follow the law. If not, your dog might be impounded.

When going on a walk, some dogs like to poke their noses in almost everything they see. But this is not advisable because the dog might ingest something dirty and get an upset stomach later on. Putting on a muzzle might temporarily solve the problem. But of course, you can start training your dog to recognize “leave it” and “drop it” commands.

Finally, in some public transportation, dogs are required to wear a muzzle for the protection of other passengers.
