Our guide for training & everyday life with the muzzle
Finding the right dog muzzle
A muzzle for dogs is not only a legal aid in certain situations, but can also be an important safety aspect for dogs and people. Dog muzzles are used, for example, during training, on public transport or as protection against poisoned bait.
We offer a wide selection of high-quality dog muzzles in various materials, sizes and designs.

When does my dog need a muzzle?
A dog muzzle is useful or even mandatory in many situations.
Legal and safety-relevant situations
- Public transport (bus, train)
- Certain regions & legal requirements
- Listed dogs / risky situations
Please note: In many countries or cities, wearing a muzzle is mandatory, e.g. outside fenced dog zones.
Training and behavioural situations
- Anti-poison bait training
- At the vet or dog school
- For unsafe dog encounters
Important: A muzzle during training is not used as a punishment, but as protection - for example, if a dog picks up things on the ground or needs other impulse control.
Find the right size.
Which muzzle fits which dog size?
The correct fit of the dog muzzle is a top priority because the dog must be able to pant, drink and breathe. In addition, the right fit prevents chafing and pressure points, which can be painful for your dog. If the muzzle fits correctly and fits properly, your dog is more likely to accept it than if it is too big or too small.
Before you buy a new dog muzzle, take the following measurements:
- Length of your dog's muzzle
- The circumference of your dog's muzzle
- Circumference of your dog's head
Whether it's a muzzle for small dogs (e.g. Chihuahua, Dachshund) or a muzzle for large dogs (e.g. German Shepherd, Labrador) - you'll find the right models here.

How to get your dog used to the new muzzle
A muzzle needs to be familiarised with so that your dog accepts it calmly. We'll show you step by step how to get your dog used to the muzzle in a positive and stress-free way.
1. Getting to know & connecting food
- Show the muzzle
- Feed treats through the basket
2. With muzzle in
- Dog voluntarily puts its muzzle in
- Without closure first
3. Close & reward
- Close for only a few seconds
- Reward directly
4. Increase duration slowly
- First indoors
- Short walks later
Our tip: Small soft treats or lick tubes are particularly suitable for training
