Pro muzzle, always β€οΈ
This morning, while on a walk with my two pups, we were ambushed and very nearly attacked by a large dog.
Two children were the first to come running to help, after several minutes.
With me holding my two dogs, I was very nearly in the middle of a three-way dog fight. Anyone who has been there knows just how scary of a situation that is.
Thankfully, and ONLY due to the fact that we had muzzled up for our walk, no one was hurt. Especially the young lads who did their best to hold their dog back until an adult came running. What could have been a horrible experience ended with nothing more than everyone being severely shaken, instead of severely injured.
Starting to muzzle train your dog is not easy. The judgment from others can be a huge barrier, and I for one know how difficult that can be to get over. But no judgment is worth the safety of you, your dog, or others around you. All it takes is one incident, which can happen in a split second.
It doesn't make you a bad owner. It doesn't make your dog a bad dog.
Thank you to everyone who is responsible enough to know their dog and their boundaries, and to be proactive about preventing incidents such as this one. It's all worth it, trust me π
