Baskerville ULTRA Muzzle - Patented Humane Design, Breathable, Dog can Pant and Drink, Adjustable, Padded, Dog Training Muzzle for Large Dogs, Prevents Biting, Wildlife Scavenging (Size 5, 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.

My rescued pitbull mix was a street dog so she has very protective tendencies. She has come a long way, but still reacts to some dogs on occasion, even biting and injuring dogs she already played with. This muzzle solved everything! I had no trouble getting her to wear it on Day 1, except for twice when she pawed at it to try to get it off. I just said "no, no" and then put on her harness and leash. She was so excited to go on a walk, she forgot all about the muzzle. On Day 2, I picked up the muzzle and she sat down, waiting for me to put it on her; she knew we were going for a walk! I now have stress-free walks and off-leash runs knowing she cannot hurt another dog (or squirrel). Great muzzle; I highly recommend! The only "modification" I made was adding a little tape to stiffen up the strap that goes over her head. I wasn't able to adjust it tight enough so it wouldn't slide back & forth when she was running.

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.

very sturdy, Easy to put on and remove, Fits well, if you get the right size. The design is for ease of breathing and comfort for the dog. When you put it on right, your dog will not be able to remove it easily by him/her self. You can adjust it to fit a bigger head and neck. If you bot it too large, you can put some Vet-wrap on it to cushion it. If you buy the right size, you will not need to do that. I like that there is no bar over the nose. This will help avoiding chafing of the soft part of the nose. My Rottie will but her nose voluntarily in the basket of the muzzle. Yup, even though she knows she will get her nails clipped.

I'm still not sure what I think about this mask? I think it may just be that I am not familiar with a muzzle and I am just learning. It is very sturdy & it is adjustable, but not easy to adjust in my opinion. It is easy to clean. It is easy for a dog to drink if it is fitted correctly. I had a hard time getting the right fit for my border collie, narrow face with long nose. It fit my pit just fine though. I don't see how it can't fall off though if there was a dog fight? Was a good price.

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.

Works great, we ordered a 5 but exchanged it for a 4. I should have measured my dog's snout like they suggested. I ordered the 5 because it said Labrador Retriever on it. The 5 sat in his eyes, we received the replacement the next day and it was perfect. He couldn't slide it off like he does the mesh one we have. Highly recommend if you have a dog that needs to be muzzled on occasion.

I have two, two-year old male dogs -- an 80lb husky/pit bull mix, and a 90lb pit bull -- that have very recently decided they want to go to war over everything instead of using some manners and mutual respect to solve their issues. The most recent fight resulted in vet bills and both me and my fiance being bitten trying to utilize some bunk "throw a blanket over fighting dogs to make them stop" method from a trainer who I now realize has never even probably seen or attempted to break up a fight between two very strong, very evenly matched, pissed off pit bulls. These two have snapped and torn collars lunging at each other when they were being restrained with them. The pit bull was a stray we rescued that was obviously abused and used as a bait dog. He has some serious fear issues with humans and other dogs and muzzles are critical in teaching these two how to deal with their emotions non-violently and that there are other ways to solve problems besides being aggressive... like asking me to handle it. Which is my job as mom and pack leader. :) Like other reviews stated, the size charts are WAY off. I measured my dogs' snouts and the chart recommended a size 5 and a 6. Fortunately I went with my gut and ordered sizes 3-6 just because of the wild reviews. The pit-husky ended up in a 4 and the pit bull in a 5. The four stars is due to the difficulty in sizing. Amazon makes returns easy, but spending an extra $40 on two extra muzzles and the 30 minute drive to drop off the boxes at UPS is kind of a hassle. I like the fact that there is a loop at the bottom for the collar to go to. Neither one of my very strong boys was able to get these off, and I gave them 10 (supervised) minutes and watched as they tried very hard to get them off. Eventually they whined with frustration and stopped messing with them and were given treats. Now they are happy to put them on and don't fuss with them. The only way I can imagine a dog getting it off is if the muzzle is too big ( if its too big the dog can easily get their mouth out of the bottom) or handler doesn't put the muzzle on tight enough. You should be able to get one finger under the strap behind the ear and it should not move. No more, no less. Add in the head strap and it's not going anywhere. Others have complained about a plastic snap on the head strap, however neither one of my muzzles has a snap. The head strap is looped through the rubber so they must be making them differently now. Good construction and design. Not uncomfortable for my dogs, and the peace of mind knowing we can finally go to the dog park and out for walks without people bothering us (I have even tried yellow ribbons tied on the leashes. Kids always want to pet puppies, and it's mortifying when your huge, muscular dog greets their smiling face with raised hair on his neck and a low growl) because the muzzles themselves look a little intimidating. Nobody wants to touch a dog in a Hannibal Lector mask and that in itself helps with training. No over stimulation of my dogs and I don't have to explain why little Johnny can't touch without getting distasteful looks.
