My hot take is muzzles are way overused and result in people taking on cases they shouldn’t. If the dog is a bite risk to humans and in a board and train, the trainer should be wearing safety gear. There is no good reason to muzzle a human aggressive dog in a board and train.

If dealing with human aggression in private lessons, muzzles are obvious for the safety of the owner, but we all need to be honest that that is management and not a full resolution to the situation. That means making it clear to the owners the limitations of the actual work being done.

The primary use case for muzzles should be dog/dog aggression, and that’s because you can’t put a dog in a bite suit.

Come at me with why I’m wrong!
