Will a muzzle keep a dog from barking?

Answer 1

No! they are made to prevent biting, and any vet will tell you not to keep one on longer than 20 min at a time. It slows their breathing down and some push on the top of their noise and squeezes on their air pipe. They are for temporary use and unless needed don't use it!

Answer 2

The best thing to stop a dog barking is to close the visual space that it looking from eg a piece of board across the open fenced area, if it a dog that barks at nothing but noise, I would suggest training it with a shock collar. when it stats barking alot pres the button. It will soon learn.

Answer 3

No - dogs can growl and bark with the muzzle closed - A firm NO! works wonders - establish the Dominate Dog with your pet. You are the dominate one (pack animals) have a leader. That's you!

Answer 4

You should not use a muzzle because the animal might take it the wrong way that you do now love it, you should just gradually train your animal to stop barking.

Answer 5

no not usually, depends on the breed they can still make some sounds, a muzzle is to keep them from biting

Answer 6

Yes, but there is also a collar that sprays when the dog barks that's more humane.

Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn t going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don t be one of them.

Answer 9

muzzles are for biting but they can still bark, but it is quieter. But they can whine just as loud.

Answer 10

I find it disturbing how easy it is to abuse pet items nowadays. They should make a rule that only knowledgable pet owners or animal trainers should buy such things. You should have to write a short essay on what you plan on using the product for.
