However I’m going to assume that’s been done so that she is happy to put the muzzle on rather than wrestle her into submission. I would suggest to keep looking round though, something might come up that’s perfect for her.
BaronessBL May 2018 8:52pm, 30 May 2018 7,224 posts	0 BaronessBL Getting it on her isn't a problem but she would keep rubbing her head on the floor to try to take previous ones off, which made the sore spots worse. However she does that less now and is more inclined to bash the muzzle against people's legs. The bruises I have had as a result are far worse than anything she would do with her teeth......... I will probably take the under chin strap off this one once I know she isn't going to take the muzzle off herself though.
Dave A May 2018 7:50am, 31 May 2018 21,999 posts	0 Dave A We muzzle most of the greyhounds and lurches where I work because of the breed behaviours of sight hounds (and because 2 cats live on site). Two of them in particular rub the muzzle on anything they can to try and get it off. This includes jamming heads between legs.
