Please answer if you can! So I have a pitbull/boxer mix and hes shy and kinda scared of other people and I recently bought him a muzzle because he has to get his shots and I’m nervous he isn’t gonna keep it on or freak out. He has gotten neutered and was fine but it’ll be with me so I feel like he’ll be more comfortable so he’ll freak out more.

Hello! Great job with realizing your dog might react badly and taking steps to keep everyone safe!

There are lots of muzzle training resources out there. I would recommend looking at the Muzzle Up Project. I’ve seen your ask answered by other dog blogs today so I’m just going to second what most of them said: Make muzzle training a fun experience.

As far ass him getting it off, that shouldn’t be an issue with a properly fitted muzzle. You can find resources online (try YouTube) to show how to properly fit a muzzle.

Hope that helps! Good luck!
