Pavlov Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 My dog tries to eat nearly everything he sees. After a couple surgeries to remove toy balls and a corn cob I'm following the vet's advice to always have a muzzle on him when he's outside. At the same time, he still hasn't learned how to walk without pulling on the leash. Every suggestion I've seen for teaching how to walk with a slack leash suggests going on walks and rewarding the dog when it acts correctly (the frequency and manner seem to be the only differences). How can I train him while he's wearing a muzzle? Or should I try to slip food in (it looks similar to this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41pvCrP3BvL._SY300_.jpg)?

GentleLake Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 You can definitely slip food into basket muzzles. Sure hope he grows out of that habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraV Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Try a head halter. They work really well and you are killing two birds with one stone. The pulling stops and you have control of your dog's head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
