Keeping a dog muzzled all the time is no way to live and can be dangerous - if he were to vomit or overheat while wearing a muzzle he could easily die if no one was around to take it off. Keep the food in a closet or behind a door.

You have to put the food up someplace where the puppy can't get at it

Sounds like your dog needs some obedience classes. In any case, buy some plastic or metal containers that he can't chew through and put the food in there, instead of keeping it in the bag. In the end, though, if you are incapable of controlling and training your dog, maybe you shouldn't have him. Sorry, but it is the truth. Better sign up for the classes. Good luck!

I had a German Shepherd like this. I put her food in a garbage can, in a shed that was on stilts. She jumped through the window (no glass), pulled down the garbage can, CHEWED OFF THE LID and ate until she couldn't. All night she slept on her back, tooting every hour or so.
There was no training her when it came to food. The burden was on us to isolate the food even more. If you have a small flat, I suggest something metal. (Plastic isn't a deterrent IMHO)
Best of luck

By a tall trash bin with a lid on it and empty the bag into that each time you get a new bag of dog food. Just make sure it is sturdy and the lid is one that can close not one that swings back and forth to open.

They make plastic and metal containers that fix a bag of dog food. Maybe that will stop him, or a least slow him down and you can catch him in the process.

You can get these storage bins called "Vittles Vault" They have a thick screw-on lid and some are supposed to be airtight. I'd get one and put it behind a closed door, like in a closet or your bathroom, while you're gone. Hopefully that'll stop him from being so creative!!
BTW, is your dog a beagle or cocker spaniel??

Buy a metal storage container than cannot be chewed through with a secure lid and latch (perhaps a lockabale one). I've had dogs that will chew through a plastic container.

A small rubbermaid tub shouldn't take up much more room than a bag of dog food, and they work like a charm.

Put the bags in some sort of storage container the dog can't get into. Muzzling him all the time is cruel, still if the muzzle is properly fitted the dog shouldn't be able to get it off.
