There are so many sizes so you will end up getting a really good fit providing you measure your dog correctly. I was recommended this muzzle some years ago and I'll recommend it myself: Since you aren't looking for something inescapable or foolproof, considering he isn't actually aggressive, I think lightweight and airflow should be the main consideration. Got a DNA test, turns out he is a mix of mostly Cattle Dog, Rough Collie and German Shepherd! I have a 'Border Collie' mix, which I believed for some time. Also suggest the first or last carriage as quieter options.Īn Aussie looks like a safe bet, but you never know. If you go out, follow the rules and do your best to be a considerate commuter, you're improving everyone's views of dogs out and about!ĭo suggest avoiding peak hour, tails are easy to miss and easily trodden on. It is public transport, variety of people. Ive got a Baskerville - decorated as such in the pink above for social goings like train and Bunnings.Īnd ive got an adapted greyhound muzzle for more active uses like not eating rubbish on hikes.Īhd it's just good manners to mive your dog away from ppl who may be uncomfortable or scared, muzzled or not. It's good for him to be familiar with them anyway in case of emergencies. "Everybody knows" those are the rules so it's very unlikely anyone is going to suddenly treat him like he's aggressive.and you'll also be helping to fight against that stigma that muzzle means aggression too. I've not noticed any difference in reactions to muzzled dogs on the trains/ in Bunnings than you'd get from an unmuzzled dog. I understand why this rule is in place, and I am happy to follow it, but Gryff is such a happy fellow, I don't want people to be afraid of him (he would sulk something shocking if 10 minutes go by without a pat!), so I'm hoping to find something inconspicuous. This is not something I have *any* experience in Whilst he is a big dog, he hasn't shown any signs of aggression in the 3 months I've had him, so if I get a muzzle, it will purely be for whilst we travel on the train, it won't be something he is wearing regularly (train travel is infrequent, maybe once every two months). I'd like to be able to take my pup with my on the train when I travel, and here in Victoria it seems you can, as long as they have a muzzle on. I've navigated the various steps of dog ownership - castration, updating microchip, registration, obedience school, flea/tick meds etc etc. I'm new to fur babies of the dog variety - we always had dogs growing up, but Gryff is my first dog as an adult. I'm new here I'm a new mum to Gryffindor - a 4yo tri colour Aussie Shepherd (I think - he is a rescue, paperwork says he is a border collie, but everyone who has Aussies is adamant he is an Aussie!).
