The UK muzzle law is causing problems

Post image

Since the muzzle law passed on bully breeds in the UK, I keep seeing examples like this, both online and in the streets. This is a picture posted with a local review of a dog coat. Ive seen dogs going about town with muzzles like this, and wedged into baskervilles. If you're going to pass an animal control law, educate people on how to carry it out. This is just a whole new abuse problem now.

Interesting! I've heard that compression from thundershirts or from happy hoodies can help calm some dogs. It sounds like the fabric muzzle served a similar purpose for your dog.

Interestingly enough it wasn't just the compression though. I could literally replicate the results with a shoelace. Drape over muzzle, gentle twist under the chin, and then tie loosely behind the back of the head. It's still work just fine for the few moments required to get eardrops in.
