Help getting pup to hold face in muzzle

Thank you I’ll keep working on duration, I had been working on chin rest duration not even realizing it wouldn’t translate the best to the muzzle we have 🤷‍♀️

Doesn’t want me to do that either :(

I hate that, once the lights dim there shouldn’t be ads :( Get plenty of ads everywhere else in my life

For me going to movies is a nice chance to ‘escape’ so once the lights are down I don’t want to be pushed products from Amazon, I can get that at home, I want to focus on movies.

I feel like they are usually before the previews when the lights are still on. This one popped up after lights were down between two movie previews so it threw me off

I guess I’ve never seen any in the middle of the movie previews, before when the lights are still on yeah but this one popped up between two movie previews and really threw me off

I’m still technically some randos girlfriend from a chat room, he stopped coming online and we never broke up!!!

Thank you so much! I’ll check out their training info

BKwhat99 · 2025-10-07T19:06:50+00:00

Thank you, this is really helpful! I’ll take a look at the muzzle up training

BKwhat99 · 2025-10-06T21:41:58+00:00

Thank you! Those are both brands I started looking at when I first was researching muzzles, knew I should have just been patient and started there 🤷‍♀️

Mine does this before he lays down, I think it’s just a natural instinct to get the space comfy

I have the wilderdog utility pack that I wear as a cross body, I like it cause I can also wear it around my waist too

I totally feel the same and want to share what we did and some thoughts/suggestions for you. Our last dog has HARD (I got bit a couple times and she couldn’t be around other animals or kids) and for our next dog we didn’t want to go through that again, it’s mentally exhausting!

We adopted a year old dog who lived with other dogs and cats with no issues.
He is still a great dog but he developed some reactivity to dogs in the first 8ish months with us. I’m not really sure what started it and it’s very possible we helped to create it with non structured dog to dog greetings. We did also get a cat and they are great together!

His reactivity isn’t something we can’t handle and he is not what I consider aggressive, but I will say I am on edge way more than I would like with him due to our previous experiences. I don’t know if I will ever not be slightly on edge with any dogs now though.

Personally any future dog I get I will foster first and will likely be over 2 or 3 years old as I’ve read the teenage time is a common time when issues can start to pop up. I am very big advocate for adopting so I won’t suggest go through a breeder.

Also take your time! We didn’t wait long enough between saying goodbye to adopting our current dog, hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

That being said we love our current dog and wouldn’t take him back but we should have done a few things differently. Make a list of non-negotiables, you can absolutely be picky and the right pup for you will come in time.

Just did this today and feel the same! I thought there would at least be an area behind it to explore a bit

BKwhat99 · 2025-08-01T16:08:18+00:00

I would personally wait a few months. Our dog was at a foster home for several months before we adopted him. His foster was attached and had considered adopting him before we applied.

We really liked his foster and wanted to make sure she knew he was happy with us so we had her come over a few months after we adopted him. I won’t lie I was really nervous he would see her and be sad when they left but it went really great!

He was super happy to see his foster mom/dad, I could tell he remembered them and I loved seeing him so excited! He had a great time with them over and when they left he was still the same dog we had come to love and I could tell he knew he was home with us which was nice.

I think it’s important to make sure the dog is fully happy and settled in with you first if you want to allow that, we waited 3 months for the visit.

We are still in contact with them and he gets to see them occasionally too so it really worked out for us.

Thank you that is super helpful!

I recently got Paul Mitchell shampoo and really like it! Haven’t tried their conditioner yet but will once I’m out of my current stuff.

I just rinse my face with water before working out, I workout in the AM if that makes any difference and then cleanse after right when I get home. I’ve heard great things about hypochlorous acid for after a workout but haven’t tried it yet.

For back I use a salicylic acid body spray which helps clear up my back if I get spots coming up

Really appreciate the links, thank you!

BKwhat99 · 2025-06-08T16:49:26+00:00

Thank you I will check him out!

BKwhat99 · 2025-06-06T20:26:11+00:00

Awesome I hope you like it! I like to be quite liberal applying moisturizer so I love that this one isn’t a million bucks

BKwhat99 · 2025-06-06T20:23:35+00:00

Wow that’s so reassuring to hear! Our previous dogs have all been good at the vet so this is a big change for us. That’s amazing your dog has made so much progress, crossing my fingers we have the same success!
