Dangerous behaviour with their mouths isn’t just about biting! 👇

It can also include things like eating dangerous items off the ground, hard mouthing or grabbing during play, or pulling at stitches when a cone isn’t an option.

Assuming a dog is wearing a muzzle just because they might bite? That’s a sweeping generalisation. 🙅‍♀️

And even if a dog does have a bite history... there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Any dog can bite in the right (or wrong) set of circumstances.

Muzzles are about safety, not shame.

Share this if more people need to understand that! 🙂
