It’s Not A Muzzle, Dammit!

April 3, 2008

People are always asking if I am on a muzzle and do I bite?  This drives me nuts.  I walk on a head collar because I pull on the leash.  This thing won’t stop me from biting if I really wanted to.  I’ve been on the Gentle Leader for 2 years now.   It doesn’t hurt and I’m used to it.  Mom says it’s better so I won’t drag her down the street during our walks.  Also, if I go into a squirrel frenzy, it’s easier for her to control me by leading me by the head.  Highly recommended if you have a dog that pulls.  But it must be used properly; it has to be fitted snugly behind the head.  Some dog owners give up after their dogs paw it off.  It takes patience and time.  And its a lot better than using those draconian methods of training such as choke chains or prong collars like Uncle Paul recommended.
