A muzzle doesn't mean a scary dog.

My dog wears a muzzle when we walk bc he's dog reactive and my idiot neighbors let their dogs run off leash. He's a pittie and my job is to protect him at all costs.
If your dog is dog reactive, you are protecting other dogs from getting attacked. Let’s call it what it is. I’m a groomer and some dogs have to wear muzzles or they’ll bite my face off (literally). Muzzles are to protect others.
@@kristin4840 Well he's a pit and imagine an off leash dog running at his owner, he's gonna do what he needs to in order to protect me. So I'm protecting him from attacking another dog and being put to sleep bc of the irresponsibility of the other party.
@@kristin4840 muzzles are also to protect the dog that is muzzled from potential consequences.
@@kristin4840 I agree with you! But a muzzle also protects the reactive dog and owner from potential consequences.
Thank you for loving your dog and taking the best care of him . I'm sorry that your neighbors are irresponsible prats
Thanks for not giving up on him and making sure he feels more secure.
I work at a pet hotel and daycare and a couple of dogs who come in come in wearing a muzzle, but they’re so friendly, it’s just triggers that cause their negative reactions. Before working there, I was fearful of dogs wearing muzzles, but after meeting dogs with muzzles where I currently work, I now know that they’re nothing to be frightened of
Hello 👋
This is a good example of what I've always said. There are no bad dogs on earth, there are bad owners.
She does seem to be one.
She is such a good momma! Very responsible and compassionate with working with her precious Duke so he can have wonderful, fulfilling, safe and happy adventures!
The look on his face when he managed to ditch the muzzle ! 😸
The big smile 😁
That was pretty cute
Amazing! This lady has worked long & hard out of love & responsibility for her dog and other people/dogs.
Wonderful! This lady has worked long & hard out of love & responsibility for her dog AND other people/dogs.
I agree with her 100%! Most times, it's the wrong human for the dog.
Indeed. Like we say in my country: When you see a dog with "bad behavior" look who holds the leash. If there is no leash, it is even more obvious that the owner is at fault. If a dog is not trained AND socialized properly, do not expect him/her to behave properly.

Hello 👋
@@tibo2534😊
😊
I adopted a 2yr old 129# St.Bernard/lab mix once. My kids were younger & we spent a lot of time @ the ⚾ fields. The 1st time I was gonna take him, I knew he had shown 0 aggression but @ the ballpark, you really don't have control over who's gonna pet him, hug him, etc... So I got him the basket muzzle & he even had a team 👕 on lol. I got so many rude looks from adults & kept having to repeat "He's a new rescue. Better safe than sorry" & of course his big ol' bushy tail was wagging. He did fine & the 3rd game we went w/o the muzzle. Had 9 great yrs w/Denver! He was a loving dufus who couldn't swim lol. We taught him how since we have 2 rivers thru our town. Rest in Peace ya big ol boy!🐾
❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing this story! Cheers to Denver and his memory 🍻🐶🐾 What a good boy! You handled the situation perfectly. I love hearing responsible pet-owners’ success stories. 💕🤙
Muzzled dogs have gotten such a hard rap. Im so glad you have such love in your heart, to make a great example of your sweet pup to others❤❤ Dog love and kisses.
On the Girl with the Dogs channel, sometimes dogs end up muzzled because they hate having nails trimmed, or just feet messed with in general. They're not bad dogs, just not happy to have a stranger touching their feet.
Great, but that's for a situation like a groomer where the dog won't and can't be hurt so it doesn't *need* to defend itself. Contrast: Some random aggressive dog runs up and your dog cannot defend itself.
It is not only for your protection, but for the dogs protection. One single situation that escalated too quick too far, and your dog is out away.
What a fantastic dog mom!! She is proactive & responsible! How refreshing to see that. And her Rottie will have a wonderful life because of her 😊
💯👏🐶🐾
I also have a reactive dog that wears a muzzle. I’m so thankful for this video today as a motivator to get my girl out more and work with her 💖🙏🏼
Yay! 👏 Good for you! I love hearing responsible and loving pet-owners doing the work for their babies. 🐾🐶🤙
Of course, all dogs are good dogs and I love them. I learned some good things and changed my mind. I'm glad that duke and his owner are happy and enjoying their lives now.
It so nice to see a cuddle-weiler with a tail, both mine had wagler's......Dukes a lovely handsome lad, he's a real credit to the upbringing his mums giving him, well done you!. :)
Agreed! 👏🐾🐶
Love that she did this video! More ppl need 2 know this. Some moms have to use a kid harness, because she KNOWS that kid is going to run. That beautiful pup has a great Mom.❤❤❤
Exactly! 💯🐾🐶👏
A perfect example of an amazing dog owner!!
Rottie babies are the sweetest. I love how Sabrina celebrates Duke’s wins and self control.
Thank you this video. My reactive dog thanks you. She’s a Velcro velvet hippo and very reactive but loves to go everywhere with me. This helped me.
Velcro velvet hippo 😆💕🐶🐾💕
One time I was petting a small dog and I felt something cold press into my arm. I turn around to see this big dog with a muzzle. I instinctively was scared and asked the owner if the dog was friendly. Turns out the dog is super friendly, just eats stuff off the sidewalk haha. Big sweetheart
My dogs are muzzled for different reasons. My aussie is reactive and kids around here tend to run up to her to pet and i dont want to put either one in that position. My rottweiler is a walking garbage disposal system. I tried to train him to leave it for years but he literally will not listen to that one command.
This!!! Good point… There are multiple reasons for muzzles. 🐶🐾👏🤍
I love this for you all! Muzzles are a training tool--not a bad thing. So glad Duke has a chance to work on his triggers in a safe manner. And really love that he just wants to be nakey outside (no muzzle, no raincoat??? LOL)!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Heheeee “nakey” makes me giggle 🤭 😂 He just wants to be nakey outside, who can blame him?! Did ya see how happy he was!! 🐾🐶💕
“Dis hooman is making me wear CWOTHES. Take dis fing off me.” 😆😆😆
I love dogs.
Well said 👌🏾
Me too ❤❤❤
@@Thatveganlifestyle Thank you
What a wonderful owner taking the time to actually work with her dog.
You’re SUCH a good Momma. You’re working with him. And it SHOWS. He was just SO proud 🥹 of himself when he got out of his rain coat 🧥 AND muzzle. Bless you for NOT giving up on this boy. You’re doing awesome 👏🏽 work with him. He’s loved 🥰 and has a great life. That’s ALL anyone could EVER ask for. 🙏🏽🐾😇❌⭕️🫂👏🏽
You are an amazing dog-mom. What a great example of being responsible for working through issues with excellent training, instead of giving up the dog. There are no bad dogs.♥️💕♥️
What a fabulous dog owner and a gorgeous dog!
Good job 👍🏾 That's some serious dedication and ❤😊
Bless this wonderful woman and her dog
That's a good, responsible dog Mom! 🧡
Thumbs up for the responsible owner. Good job.
That Dog Momma is Golden!!! ❤❤❤ So responsible and commited 😊❤
Duke is a beautiful dog. Thank you for training him to make sure he doesn't live secluded.
Thank you for the update, The Dodo..!! Such a good Rottweiler..!!
Sabrina saw the signs and reacted immediately ❤... That is how it should be 👍👍👍❤❤❤ Thank you so much, dear Sabrina 🤗 for giving Duke the best life possible 🥰
You are a responsible respectful puppy mum…. A role model…. Great video…. 🍂🌻🍂🌻🌸
This mama loves her boy and is doing what’s best for him. Good job!
He is awesome and a good boy...I love him..❤❤❤😊
What an incredibly talented owner she is! Wonderful job 👍
Go momma!!!
🥰Duke
this really opened my eyes and ive never even seen a muzzled dog in real life, but now i know. great story!
Kudos to his trainers and his mom for being responsible and willing to pay for his training!
Bravo, you are such a dedicated Mama! Duke’s happiness is your top priority. Love you, and Duke!! ❤
Such a sweet awesome good boy!!! (And momma too!)
I love dogs, but some of them must wear a muzzle. I was waking in the park recently and I stumbled upon two girls with their dogs. One of them was a large pit bull. I knew right away that he saw me as a threat, I don't know why. He was tied to a bench, but his leash was pretty long. So, as soon as he saw me approach the girls (they were in the way, and I was just walking in their direction), he charged me. I managed to walk backwards just in time before he bit me, but it was a close call. Bottom line is, if you know your dog has certain reactions, he must be muzzled, for his own sake (because he could be put down) and for other people's sake.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and not giving up on this sweet beautiful boy 💙
I love them. This is a great story. Great dog parent. Sweet boy who will thrive under her care.
We have a muzzled dog in my apartment complex. He has to wear it because he has a sensitive stomach and he eats poop. He's a great dog and very loving. Dogs wear muzzles for many different reasons.
What an awesome owner! Great to see you investing so much in your dog.
Thank you for caring and being a good dog parent. That shows you truly do care and love your animal.❤
Some people think, “oh I want a dog coz they are so cute,” but in reality, they are a LOT of work and at the same time the most loyal and one of the most loving animals. It’s just like two to tango, you need to work your relationship with a dog, so before anyone gets a dog, you gotta be mentally, emotionally prepared and not just give the dog up because they were “too difficult.” (But there are exceptions of course.)
So glad you spent the time and patience to train your dog. It keeps you both safe. Most excellent. You're a great doggie mom!
What a great dog mom!!! You go girl!!!!
He's beautiful
The muzzle is a great training tool. It worked for mine. You feel reassured, therefore the dog feels that you are relaxed and will relax too. Now we only use it when we take some public transport.
Responsible loving mama and beautiful Duke💖💖👍🏽👍🏽🥰.
Thanks for sharing this and for being a good to your pup!
Thanks Chris! I never knew this about muzzle training. I always thought they wore them because it was pretty much required because of the breed. Not required by the owner but because of some obscure dog laws. My Sammy, a Velcro Terrier, is not reactive which is great. We've never been in a dog park, but I took her outside of one. She needed to make a poo break since we had been out running errands. I took her up to the fence and the dogs all came over to check her out. She barely acknowledged them. But, she does love playing with other dogs.
Way to go Duke!!! You are a good boy and a handsome one!! 🥰😍❤️💞🌼
Greyhounds that have had any training, whether or not they raced, are legally required to be muzzled if off the lead (in the UK - I recommend it everywhere). Racing muzzles are very lightweight and they're used to them. It keeps them safe just in case their millennia of breeding kicks in if they see something small and furry running away. Even if they can catch whatever it is, they can't bite it. If they do bite they can kill, and that can end up with them being put down (if it's someone's animal) - just for following their human-endowed instincts. We are on our 8th hound, who is the best friend of every dog and human in our village, and pretty much anywhere he goes. He's so soft and silly. And he's not allowed off the leash. We do have muzzles around should we know we're going into a cat-heavy situation. We've had a few hounds who'd definitely go after one. I lost my soulmate when she decided, as an arthritic 12 year-old who should have known better, to go after a rabbit while still on the lead, pulling my husband over in a heavily-rutted field and damned near choking our other 2 hounds. She caught her leg in a hole and broke it so badly that it couldn't be fixed. It was a back leg, her hips were arthritic, and amputation was not an option. This was 30 years ago and I still miss her every day. Writing this now is making me tear up. Again. I mention her now because she used to be a lot less inclined to chase if she was muzzled, but also because had that been a cat and she was on good ground, we could have had a lot of painful explanation to do and could have lost her anyway. So please don't pay attention to other people and their attitudes, protect your friend from their instincts if you know - even if it's deep down - that they'll get into serious trouble if they slip the leash. I admire the lady in the video. She's doing absolutely everything right for her beautiful boy.
More people need to see this!!
Wow you are an amazing human! The commitment! He is a lucky dog to have YOU.
Good to know! Dogs have a range of emotions and anxieties, too! If muzzling them helps them to cope and understand the world better, then so be it! Of course, as long as the muzzle doesn't hurt or create additional stress.
Good on you for working so hard to make Duke's life, his best!
What a great PSA!! And an adorable dog too... :o)
Good for you. You're a responsible dog owner. I wish they were all like you.
Good for you for putting time into him. The dog will be worth it.
It's really cool that she's using a basket/cage muzzle. Unlike the velcro or fabric ones, with this type he can wear the muzzle & still open his mouth to drink, pant or bark/communicate.
I believe people who have a muzzled dog are responsible, caring and love their dog. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
Duke is amazing you are very patient nice to see! Love Duke's smile when he got out of his raincoat and muzzle so sweet💜😻😸😎
There are no bad dogs. True
I definitely agree❤
Great owner ❤
Awesome job with your dog. Absolutely outstanding. A million dog owners need to see this video.
She is so brave for training and muzzling her dog, especially since he is a Rottie. They get such a bad reputation and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets some nasty comments about it from other people, especially with the muzzle on. Rottweilers are really wonderful, loyal dogs if you train them, and she is absolutely taking the time to train Duke. Love to see more Rottie rep!
Great video. Every dog deserves a chance to succeed.
My small/medium dog recently got attacked by a large muzzled dog that broke loose from the lease. The muzzle saved my dogs life.
You are a good dog mama!
この子の為にも正しく愛してくれてありがとう❤️
That is one, handsome Rottie.❤❤❤
In my opinion...I think you are a GREAT dog mama! Keep up the great work. I like that you recognize when he should wear a muzzle and when he might not need one. Thank you.
Pets do have a right to feel secure
Thank you Sabrina!
Yes! Muzzle training is, I’d say, an essential tool to have for yourself and your dog. Whether your dog is reactive or not it should still know what a muzzle is and be comfortable with wearing one. :) One good example I always like to put out is in case of a medical emergency. Your dog may know you, but when in pain all sense of who is who can be lost. So instead of warranting a vet to the ER yourself, you can muzzle your dog while you care for it. This is so great to see! Thank you for sharing this!
That is what a great, responsible dog ownership is all about. You should be proud of all the work you both have put in!
What an amazing doggo momma you are! Videos like this make me so happy! ❤❤❤
Great commentary. I didn’t know. Now I know and I am grateful for the education.
Usually it's not a bad dog but a bad dog owner.
No one cares & irrelevant but I personally just make sure to always smile and look kindly at muzzled dogs; animals that deserve love too, and we never know what they've gone through
this is an amazing story. what a great dog mom
It's being a responsible owner and I thank them for it. It keeps others safe and it keeps your dog safe. There's a lot of reasons why a dog would wear a muzzle. A dog shouldn't be automatically put down just because some extra precautions need to be taken. Thank you to responsible dog owners❤️❤️❤️❤️
And, Ladies and Gentlemen - THAT is how you do it! Good for Duke's mom for recognizing the issues and helping him work through them in a safe and positive manner.
Good on you!
He's a lucky guy to have you ❤️❤️❤️
My dog came from an extremely abusive situation and goes into an immediate aggressive reactive state if he must be held still.... like at a vet. I am working on training him to be okay with a muzzle, (right now we build the cone around him at the vets office.) And when he gets the the point where it can be on his face, we are going to have to do a lot of fun activities with it on. Things like walking him around my apartment complex, where people usually see him without a muzzle, are going to cause some questions. Sometimes I feel like I should print out pamphlets with his story. 😂
love this channel ♥
I love this channel. Thank you.
