How do I acclimatise my dog to wearing a basket muzzle?

It's important to remember that for your dog having a new training aid on their head / face will feel unusual for your dog and it is perfectly normal reaction for them to try and remove it. We encourage you to help your dog acclimatise to the muzzle by using positive associations methods. This can be through using treats to encourage your dog to place their nose into the muzzle and placing the muzzle on the dog for a few seconds, then taking the muzzle off and rewarding immediately. Build up the length of time the muzzle is on slowly, so your dog has time to adjust. You can find more information on how to do this with our 'how-to' video on this page. If your dog is trying to take the muzzle off, try to distract them with a treat or their favourite toy to stop this behaviour. In the early days of acclimatising your dog we strongly recommend you use the collar loop and the headstrap for increased security and stability and minimise muzzle movement if your dog tries to remove it.

How long can a Baskerville basket muzzle be worn?

Due to the Baskerville basket style design, our muzzles can be worn for longer periods e.g. for daily dog walks, as the dog can pant and drink at all times with the muzzle on. However, even with Baskerville muzzles we do not recommend leaving these on your dog for extended periods of time unless absolutely necessary e.g. your dog is aggressive even at home. We recommend, as with all our products, to fully supervise your dog while they are wearing the muzzle from both a safety and welfare perspective. In the early days of muzzle training this will also ensure your dog does not remove the muzzle and potentially chew the product.

FAQs

Unsere Größentabelle in der Bildgalerie oben hilft dir, die passende Größe für deinen Hund zu finden. Wenn die Schnauzenlänge und der Schnauzenumfang deines Hundes zwischen zwei Größen fällen, wähle den Maulkorb, der am besten der Länge entspricht.

Hier eine Kurzanleitung: Gib den Maulkorb 2 Minuten lang in heißes Wasser. Danach kannst du ihn einfach mit deinen Händen verformen (achte auf die Temperatur!), bis die Form der Schnauze deines Hundes entspricht. Dann lässt du den Maulkorb in kaltem Wasser erstarren. Überprüfe die Passform nochmal. Wenn nötig, wiederhole die Schritte, bis er perfekt passt. Hinweis: Das Material neigt dazu, über längere Zeit, wieder seine ursprüngliche Form annehmen zu wollen. Du musst den Maulkorb also ab und an wieder anpassen.

Es ist erstmal ungewohnt für deinen Hund, eine neue Trainingshilfe am Kopf / im Gesicht zu tragen. Es ist verständlich und normal, dass er es anfangs nicht tragen möchte. Wir empfehlen dir, deinem Hund in der Gewöhnungsphase mit positivem Assoziationstraining zu helfen. Zum Beispiel kannst du ihn mit Leckerlis ermutigen, die Schnauze in den Maulkorb zu stecken. Dann kannst du den Maulkorb für ein paar Sekunden anlegen und ihn beim Abnehmen sofort belohnen. Lasse den Maulkorb stückweise länger am Kopf, damit sich dein Hund langsam an „längeres“ Tragen gewöhnen kann. Mehr Informationen und Anleitungen dazu findest du in unserem Video oben. Wenn dein Hund versucht, den Maulkorb abzustreifen, lenke ihn mit seinem liebsten Leckerli oder Spielzeug davon ab. Zu Beginn der Gewöhnungsphase raten wir dir, den Maulkorb mit der Halsbandschlaufe und dem Kopfriemen zu befestigen – für extra Sicherheit, Stabilität und minimalen Spielraum, falls dein Hund versucht, ihn abzustreifen.

Dank des speziellen Korb-Designs, das deinen Hund uneingeschränkt hecheln und trinken lässt, kann der Baskerville auch länger getragen werden, zum Beispiel während dem täglichen Gassigehen. Trotzdem raten wir davon ab, Maulkörbe länger als nötig zu verwenden. Es sei denn, es ist absolut notwendig, z. B. wenn dein Hund auch zuhause aggressives Verhalten zeigt. Lasse deinen Hund für seine Sicherheit und sein Wohlbefinden nicht unbeaufsichtigt, während er den Maulkorb trägt. Das gilt auch für jedes Zubehör. Vor allem wenn dein Hund noch nicht an das Tragen eines Maulkorbs gewöhnt ist, verhinderst du so, dass er ihn abstreift und daran kaut.
