You may have what is called TMJ disorder. Take two damp towels and heat them in the microwave until hot, but not hot enough to burn. Place one on each side of your face at your temple or joint area. While using the heat, try to open and close, stretching a little wider each time. This will be difficult at first, so don't get discouraged. You may have to do this a few times, but you will feel relief and be able to open as well. You'll need to schedule an appointment with your dentist so he can evaluate this condition. This is what we advise for all TMJ patients who get "stuck" open or closed. There isn't a lot that can be done for this condition other than manipulation, night guards or surgery in the worst cases. Avoid chewing gum or anything that requires a lot of chewing (caramels, taffy, sticky candy) or hard to chew foods. Hope I've been of some help and good luck, be sure to get this checked by your dentist.
Additional information: This "is" a dental disorder that you should see your "Dentist" for an evaluation and treatment of. An appointment with the physician would be a waste of time, he will refer you to your dentist for further treatment.

How To Help Lock Jaw

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/p7n73
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Well, you probably DON'T have lockjaw. That's another name for tetanus, a very nasty infection that can be fatal. It's probably TMJ. But in any case, you should call your doctor or your dentist for help.
