I did it! I was brave and went for a grooming! I've been before, but I only lasted 5 mins as I was too scared. JJ's Groom Room is the best ☺️

@ShadowLakeDog Oh my dogness. Kibble with a side of mouse is an unusual combo. I would think steak would be a better choice.

[Augie (Shadow 🌈) @ShadowLakeDog]

‼️😮😮😮‼️ What a morning! Mom was scooping my kibble + suddenly SHE SCREAMED! I jumped back because...WHAT the HECK!? Then she explained there was a dead mouse ON TOP of my 2nd scoop (before she dropped it!). Ummm…no, Dad? You need to do a better job of sealing my food!

It wasn't long ago this park was popular with a rogue gang of Jack Rabbits🐇. Then the Cobra Chicken Gang🪿decided they wanted to set up shop here. I haven't seen a rabbit or hare here in two weeks.

I didn't expect them to surrender their territory so easily. Maybe they are planning an uprising? ☠️

@SelenUlusakarya Absolutely. A surefire way to make a dog really dislike the vet clinic is being forced into strange facial coverings during an exam. It happens more often than you'd think. Even during routine exams for dogs that nip.

Kenji, the baby Mooseweiler, is learning to be comfortable with a muzzle. He isn't aggressive or likely to bite someone, so why do we do this?

Emergency preparedness. If he's ever seriously injured the vet clinic will likely muzzle him as soon as they take him into the back. Even the gentlest of dogs with the best temperaments might become fearful and bite if they are in pain and someone tries to exam their injury. Especially if it's a stranger or they already have negative feelings about vet clinics. Even something as straightforward as a torn nail can be painful enough that a muzzle is used.

Putting the muzzle on allows the veterinary team to quickly and safely examine the dog, perform first aid, or start an IV for sedation if needed. If a dog has never worn a muzzle, it can add to the stress and fear they are already experiencing from being restrained and examined while being in pain, especially if they try to resist having it put on. It's much easier on the dog and the veterinary team if the dog is comfortable with wearing a muzzle. If the dog has had a lot of positive conditioning with the muzzle it can actually help calm them as it's something familiar with good emotions attached.

Anytime I can help my dogs avoid unnecessary stress, I'll do it. Muzzle training is one way and it helps ensure we're prepared for emergencies.

Often when someone sees a dog wearing a muzzle, they assume the dog is aggressive. That's often not the case. It could simply be wearing it during training to get comfortable with it or it might be a dog that eats things off the ground. It could also be a responsible owner of a fearful dog that might snap if an unleashed dog rudely runs up. A muzzle doesn't mean a dog is bad. It's often the sign of a good dog owner.
