![]() And yes, the dog is stopped from doing the negative behaviors when we are around to witness them, it's when he's alone that he get's in to trouble. ![]() Yes, Duke is still a young dog and I'm sure he'll grow out of it, but I can't afford to have him eat everything in the house until he does. I have looked at other options as well, such as Bitter Apple but I would have to dose my entire house with the stuff to make a difference. More like an hour or two a day when the dog is left alone. Spence, no, I don't expect to keep the muzzle on 24/7. And no, it's not to get in to the dog muzzle buisness, it's just to get one that fits correctly, is safe and works.

When he's supervised, he's fine for the most part. ![]() He's a 6 month old pit bull and still chewing on everything from the carpet, the wood door jams, electronics cables and plugs, the furniture, etc. Trauma, it's a personal job, not a commissioned piece and the purpose of the muzzle is to keep my roommates dog, Duke, from chewing on everything in the house when he is left unsupervised (which isn't that often).
