BARKLESS Dog Muzzle, Basket Muzzle for Biting, Chewing and Scavenging, Humane Cage Mouth Cover, Perfect for Grooming and Training Large Aggressive Reactive Dogs (L, Black)

You need to understand that this device isn't going to be a "fix" to your dog's behavior, but rather it's a tool to help aid it. I say this because I have a medium sized red nose pit mix, who is 40 pounds and very muscular for her size. She's a very sweet girl, but unfortunately her animal instinct is too strong for us to be able to control her completely. I've done my best to train her and she is a very good listener, but the moment something brings out that canine nature she can fly off the rails very easily. Triggers like a dog barking or whining, all stuff that make it more difficult to control her in public. That's where this mask came into the equation. She had an appointment today at a mobile clinic to get her annual rabies vaccine and the heart worm vaccine, and I knew I was going to be fighting with her through the appointment as these events tend to be a little chaotic at times. The mask did a great job. It fit her right, and though it was restrictive enough to prevent her from barking, it wasn't too aggressive to where it would hurt her. The rubber is soft, and she can breathe very well through the shape of the mask. The straps also make it easy to adjust/tighten, and because it has a top strap, you don't have to sacrifice losing tightness to keep the eyes unrestricted. This was very important because she does have a bit of a stubbier snout, so I worried it would be digging into her eyes. Still, I felt comfortable tightening it on her for this reason to make it more difficult for her to fight it. The mask is also very light, so if they're distracted enough they'll forget about it being there. Sure enough when vaccine time came around, the mask combined with my control of her kept her on good behavior, and it greatly reduced escalation. Even as she was getting her shots and a blood sample taken, she was calm as I kept reassuring her. I just had to make sure I kept discouraging her from trying to rip it off her face, but it was giving her enough of a tough time that a couple of stern "No's" were settling things down. She wasn't able to get it off once through the event. To the lady that wrote the review accusing this mask of killing one of her pups: I am sorry you had to experience such unfortunate circumstances, however I will be blunt as a responsible dog father and tell you straight up that part of that might've been a fail on your end in controlling your pet. I can't blame the dog itself for having tendencies as I understand and explained that my dog can be the same way sometimes, but that's where it's your duty to step in and make sure YOU as the owner have full control. Either of making sure the situation was contained or planned, or of having full control and restraint of the dog beforehand. One restrictive device wasn't going to make all the difference on that, especially on a bigger, known to be aggressive dog.

I recently purchased the Large Basket Muzzle for my reactive dog, and I must say, it has been a complete game-changer! As a responsible pet owner, I wanted to ensure the safety of both my dog and those around us, especially in situations where my dog's reactivity could potentially be triggered. This muzzle has exceeded my expectations in every way. First and foremost, the size of the muzzle is perfect for my large breed dog. It fits securely and comfortably without restricting his ability to pant, drink water, or even take treats. The basket design allows for excellent airflow, ensuring that my dog remains cool and comfortable even during longer outings or training sessions. The build quality of this muzzle is outstanding. The durable yet soft material feels gentle against my dog's snout, preventing any discomfort or chafing. The adjustable straps provide a secure fit and are easy to fasten, ensuring that the muzzle stays in place without any risk of slipping off or becoming loose. One of the standout features of this muzzle is its design, which allows my dog to have a full range of motion with his mouth. He can still open his mouth wide enough to pant and drink water, which is crucial, especially during hot weather. Additionally, the spacious basket design ensures that he can still enjoy treats and rewards during training sessions, making it an effective tool for positive reinforcement. The muzzle has significantly improved our walks and interactions with other dogs and people. It gives me peace of mind, knowing that my dog cannot harm anyone or any other animal while we work on his reactivity. Moreover, it sends a clear signal to others that we are taking the necessary precautions and allows us to better manage potentially challenging situations. Cleaning the muzzle is a breeze too. I can easily wipe it down or rinse it off after each use, keeping it hygienic and ready for the next adventure. The sturdy construction ensures that it holds up well over time, making it a worthwhile investment. In summary, the Large Basket Muzzle has been an absolute lifesaver for my reactive dog. Its perfect fit, exceptional comfort, and thoughtful design have made a world of difference in our daily routines. If you have a reactive dog and are looking for a high-quality muzzle that prioritizes safety and comfort, I highly recommend this product.

This is the right size for my medium-sized German Shepherd and she is ok wearing it. The strap adjustment is a little difficult (as in, it may have been made a little better) but I would order the product again.

I started a return on this item and wish i had completed it but instead we kept it and it was snug and tight and on the correct way. Well now because your item did not keep her from biting my little dog, in which she proceeded to get the muzzle off after she started the attack. I thought she killed my little boston who is almost 14. Its a wondef she is still alive but because your muzzle failed the dog had to be put down. So we lost one dog and have $1000 in saving my little dog because you claimex she couldnt bite or get out of it. Your claims were false and we r left heartbroken. Dont buy this if u have an aggressive dog it will not keep them from biting. Absolutely hurt and pissed off that i put my trust into your item. You cant being her back and u cant help my little one heal. But u should fix your claims or not sell it. You should be sued for false advertisement. The blood of two dogs are on the manufactors hands. I coild send some very disturbing pics of my little one cause she has stitches all over her but i wont upset others. Yes im pissed off and very hurt and its because the item failed to do what it claimed. Faulty crap cost me my dog and almost my other one and alot of money and has cost my little one alot of pain. FIX IT OR STOP SELLING IT ! Update $1400 and we could not save our 14 yr old. It took me this long to be able to update it has had me in bad shape. Now your product cost me 2 dogs $1,400 and my sanity because all i can see is my dog being attacked and killed in front of me.

Mi perro tiene casi 5 años y pesa 30kgs. Es mestizo entonces no puedo decir más que es talla mediano a grande, como un Husky chaparro tal vez. Había comprado un bozal rígido marca Baskerville y le quedó enorme aunque me guié según su tabla. Aquí me guié más por la lista de razas sugeridas y elegí una talla M. Mi perrito es un poco narizón pero su cabeza es pequeñita (no como la de un labrador o un golden, por ejemplo). Le quedó perfecto! Las dos correas se ajustan, y la que pasa por el medio de los ojos ayuda a que no se lo quite tan fácilmente (si lo dejo sin supervisión, sí podría). Yo buscaba esto porque mi perro come todo lo que encuentra, entonces lo usamos en nuestras caminatas de 30-60 minutos. El bozal le permite jadear perfectamente! Y el material es como goma rígida o casi como caucho (NO es silicona super suave o moldeable) entonces no logra pescar basura cuando se la encuentra. Es fácil de limpiar y no le lastima su carita. Lo recomiendo mucho

Great product

Muy recomendable! La talla,calidad y precio todo muy bien

Parfais! S'ajuste bien et il a l'air plus confortable avec celle ci que son ancienne. J'ai un pittbull mêlé berger allemand.

Works great make sure you measure for the right size
