Baskerville ULTRA Muzzle - Patented Humane Design, Breathable, Dog can Pant and Drink, Adjustable, Padded, Training Muzzle for Medium-sized Dogs, Prevents Biting, Wildlife Scavenging (Size 4, Black)

We needed a muzzle for our 2 Male Great Danes that are 2 year old brothers and are nervous around new people and new situations since they are rescues that were not socialized properly and were abused. We wanted to ensure that when going to the Vet for a check up that no one would get bit. We had tried another muzzle the vet let us borrow that had a belt buckle like closure but that took too long to close and our one dog would go nuts and we could never get it on him. So I knew I was looking for something that had a one click closure option. I read through a lot of reviews and once I came upon this product I saw how many great reviews it got, so we gave it a try and have been very happy with it for both dogs. The one click closure works quickly and solved the problem we had before. This product comes with an extra security strap that runs from the nose to the head to ensure the dog can not pull the muzzle off with their paws or by rubbing it on the ground. I love this extra sense of security. It also has a loop on the bottom where the collar could run through it to ensure the dog could not pull it off that way either, but we have not had a need to use that option. I love how the dog has plenty of openings to breathe easily while wearing it and how they can easily be fed treats through it and could drink if needed with it on. Very well made design all around and a quality product. Our Great Danes are both Males and one weighs 133 and the other weighs 139. We bought Size 6 for both of them and it fits both of them great and they still have plenty of room between the end of muzzle and their nose. We did lots of treat training for 2 weeks with the muzzles before attempting to actually have them wear them. Meaning the first day we just let them sniff the muzzles and then they got a treat. Then for 1 week we would hold a treat at the end of the muzzle and the only way the dog could get the treat was to put their nose in the muzzle and get it. Then the next week we would still hold the treat at the end of the muzzle, but the difference was that we would not immediately release the treat like before. We would purposely hold the treat tighter so that the dog had to work harder to get the treat and that way they would be in the muzzle for about 3-5 seconds, just to get them used to the feeling more. Then at the 2 week mark, while still giving them a treat through it, we closed it. At first they both tried to paw and rub to get it off but we immediately said lets go for a walk and they were so distracted and excited about that that they barely messed with them after that. Then when we went on a walk a few days later they had no issues with putting them on and they only tried to mess with them once and then stopped after that while on walk. Would highly recommend this product.

This is my 3rd muzzle (sizes 3,4, and now 5) works great. Gives my Rottweiler plenty of room to breathe and drink water while keeping him from eating everything he finds on the ground. Pictured is muzzle size 5 and my boy is 6 months old

After 3 1/2 years of getting along beautifully, my two girls, a Siberian Husky and a GSD/Boxer mix, decided it was time to renegotiate the role of Alpha dog. They had never fought before and when they went at each other with no warning (well, I'm sure there were signs that I, as a stupid human missed) I was absolutely terrified. There is no doubt in my mind that they were prepared to fight to the death. Both dogs had to be sewn up and my hand ended up in someone's mouth when I tried to separate them and was pretty severely injured. I was in tears for two days, wondering how I was going to make it work long-term with three dogs, two of whom could have absolutely no contact with each other. They were still total lovebugs and as sweet as ever with me and with my other dog. But they wanted to kill each other. After doing some research and contacting a behaviorist, the idea of muzzles came up. I hadn't thought of muzzles, since I guess I had bought into the idea that they were for "bad" dogs. That's not the case. Muzzles can be an incredible tool. They provide a safe, fail-proof environment and allow us to work on the real issues. They let us be a happy family again. I bought the Baskerville muzzles, as they seemed like the best choice for active dogs since the dogs can pant, drink, take treats and the ventilation is excellent. It honestly only took about 10 minutes each to get the girls comfortable with letting me put them on. As recommended, I held the muzzle cupped in my hand with plenty of choice treats at the bottom. Each dog put their face in on their own to retrieve the treats. Once the muzzle was seen as a treat dispenser, it was no problem to get it buckled around the dog's head. It is a bit of a pain to find the holes in the strap, but when I found the best fit for each dog, I marked that hole with a dab of paint so I could locate it quickly. I used the over the head straps at first, but they were always flopping in the dogs' eyes. I took them off and neither dog has ever pulled their muzzle off. Truthfully, they're so used to them that they don't try to pull them off. These muzzles have just become a part of life and neither of my girls has any problem wearing one. When they see the muzzles, they sit nicely and are more than happy to put their face in as I hold the muzzle out. They seem to know it means family time. When wearing their muzzles, they get along great and play together without any aggression. They're very active, athletic dogs and wearing these particular muzzles has allowed them to remain so. Neither their vision nor their breathing is hindered in the least. They both realized right away that they could drink with no difficulty. They even snuggle together for naps, just like they used to. I think it puts them on equal footing, and since they know they can't fight, they don't even bother. I know it's the muzzles that make the difference because when they're not wearing them, hackles are raised and they still snarl at each other through a gate. I don't ever leave the dogs unattended with the muzzles on. I have this great fear of someone getting caught on something or somehow getting them off and fighting. During those times, they're in separate rooms. I also take the muzzles off and put up a baby gate every few hours and at meal times, just to give them a break. However, given the choice, my 3 dogs want to be together, so they do wear their muzzles for many hours at a time. The one problem we had was with rubbing on the tops of the dogs' snouts. Like I said, my dogs do wear these a lot, but the rubbing was enough to cause discomfort and rub fur off. I added some neoprene padding and that took care of the issue, but I'd like to see more padding in the design. I'm so happy that someone recommended muzzles and this brand specifically. I was so afraid of the logistics of keeping my dogs separated while still providing plenty of love and attention and exercise to each of them. I was scared of what would happen if I made a mistake and forgot to close a door. How would we go hiking? How would we take road trips? With the Baskerville Ultra Muzzles, I can have my loves together and we can do all of the things we've always done. These have simply become part of our daily routine and everyone is safe and happy and loved. I hope we can work through the aggression to the point that we won't need the muzzles. But, if not I know we'll be okay and I can't explain how much that means.

This muzzle is a godsend! We’ve tried three other muzzles before this, a strap one that just goes over the muzzle, works well for our 6 year old Bully (Aliyta) but not for our 7 month old pup (Parker). We tried a harder muzzle too but he absolutely hated how unyielding it was and it didn’t have any room for growth. We got a mesh one, it was cute and super comfortable but it only lasted about two months before he chewed a bunch of holes through it and started chewing on the walls. I searched and searched for a good replacement, I didn’t want to keep having to buy a new muzzle every few months, and stumbled upon this one. I feel the reviews on this muzzle should be way better than they are! We got a size five based off the chart. The customization only took about 15-20 minutes and he loves it. Okay.. NO dog love a muzzle but he isn’t nearly close to hating it so YAY! It’s easy for him to drink water and get treats as well. I was super glad he couldn’t snatch it out of my fingers anymore lol. My one finger is still healing from the last nip he gave me in his excitement. He slept in it less than 30 minutes after I put it on him and has no issues with it while play fighting. I followed the instructions and heated up my water very well so I could adjust and cool as I went. Each time I let it cool a bit and tested it on him so I could adjust as needed. I made it wider than it needed to be so that he could still grow into it. Now both he and our our older female can use it with no issues since they have the same snout shape. I recommend pushing the center of the muzzle down were it rests between the eyes after the muzzle is the height and width you need if the muzzle keeps trying to get into your pups eyes. I also had to use two collars to anchor the neck strap better since he’s so small. One collar went through the loop and the other went the the extra length (slack) to hold it down better. The straps take a bit to adjust and get used to but they lock into place so I like that. The clip also locks automatically so it can’t be undone either. Just have to push the little button on the clip and it releases. Overall the muzzle is exceptionally well made and I will definitely be only purchasing this brand from now on. If you’re on the fence about getting this, don’t be! It’s definitely worth it<3

I bought a size 4 which I was sure was going to work but just wasn't wide enough so I may buy a size 5 next but am scared it will be too big. The length was great but it was too narrow for my 2 year old foster pit. It was super easy to put on after appropriate training. Very easy to adjust, strap-wise but NOT at all easy to manipulate as advertised with hot & cold water. I tried several times but it just goes back to it's original out of the box size. If this would have fit correctly or was manipulable, I would have kept it because the design is great and I love that he can breath & take treats in it.

This muzzle is exactly what I was looking for. These are hard to find in stores. The Velcro ones come off so easily. While my dog tried repeatedly to get this one off, it was very secure without being too tight.

A great product for the price and it does exactly what it says it will do. Our dog has extremely sensitive skin and has a bad habit of biting herself so we needed this temporarily until her skin got better. Of course she doesn't like it but she got used to it and was still able to drink from it. She can eat through it as well if you hand it to her other then that she would spend all day trying to grab a piece of food lol. It's made of a good material and the harness stays on her head and doesn't hurt her. It does run a little big as I measured before hand but it's still a bit long but you can easily adjust it for fitment. It's very easy to apply and is very flexible for each dog.

this is a very good muzzle, especially for the price point. I put off buying one for ages, put off by it being rubber... "plastic has to be better than rubber," I told myself- whatever the strength/consistency of the rubber- and kept my dog's plastic muzzle while looking for a local wire one (so I'd be able to try it on my dog before making such an investment). after being unable to find a wire one, someone at my local pet store brought up the Baskerville muzzle again. I decided to try it after all, because the plastic basket muzzle we had wasn't ideal for giving treats, which is an essential part of the counter conditioning I'm doing with my dog and her reactivity. the Baskerville muzzle is made with a hole at an angle down from the dog's bottom teeth. my dog often tries to take treats right in front of her nose, which is slightly more difficult because the holes there are different, but with some practice, she's much better at it than she was at first. treating with a muzzle is never going to be easy, but an added benefit of this muzzle is that i don't even have to treat from my hand; i can toss the treat on the ground and my dog can still get it. the size 3 muzzle is roughly the right size for my dog- a bit on the big side. size 2 is too small. due to the straps/padding that go on the underside of her neck and the length of her lower jaw, the muzzle pointed up at a good 60-degree angle when she wore it. it looked very uncomfortable and got in her line of sight, sooo... I cut the lower straps. good idea? bad idea? it's more comfortable for her now, so /shrug. whatever works the security of a muzzle is necessary to take into account, considering that many dog owners need muzzles for managing aggression. this is probably one of the muzzles capable of the highest level of safety, given its optional head strap and the collar attachment loop. using all of the safety options, a dog is gonna have a tough time getting this off. however, there is no muzzle in existence that a dog CANNOT get off if he is determined to get it off. "my dog got this off and ate it in three minutes/while I was gone/while I wasn't looking"- 99% of reviewers who say this about any muzzle have not conditioned their dog to tolerate a muzzle. put a muzzle on a dog who's not muzzle trained and he's going to paw at it, roll around, rub his face on nearby objects- anything to get it off. if someone were to put duct tape on your mouth, you'd do something similar. if your dog needs to wear a muzzle for any amount of time and you won't be able to actively keep him from trying to get the muzzle off, you NEED to muzzle train him before muzzling him. this means getting him to associate the muzzle with good things (toys, treats, belly rubs), THEN bit by bit starting to put the muzzle on. for a single second at first, then five, then ten, and so on until your dog is absolutely comfortable having the muzzle on his face. this is the only way for all these safety measures to work 100%. a muzzle, like any other tool, requires training before it can effectively be used. in closing- I wish that there were perhaps some other size options, more overlap maybe? so the size 3 wouldn't be too large for my dog, and that the padded straps had some method of adjustment, but other than that, I really like this muzzle. I absolutely recommend it to people who desire to muzzle train their dogs, for any reason.
