I've used muzzles at different points over the years. When I first got Nyx, I muzzled her as her last owner messed her up so bad teaching her to "protect" she needed one until I could retrain her. Within a year, she was muzzle free at all times. I muzzle Tank everytime I walk him. He is highly dog aggressive with strange dogs, plus VERY large and I'm am very petite so I don't take any chances with him and loose dogs. As well, he was already involved in incidents with his previous owner that put a muzzle order on him. I bring a muzzle with me when I walk Deeohgee and Bailey just incase we run into loose dogs, along with a breaking stick, poo bags, treats, etc... It's just another tool in being responsible IMO. I've never had to actually use one with them though. If I went into Vancouver with Bailey as it's much more populated than Surrey and there are TONS off loose dogs which is weird as it's a big city, I would muzzle Bailey there. She needs to be as if a dog runs up to her, she will grab it. I don't see that she needs to die because she's DA. Personally, I wish the pit bull community would get over their fear of muzzles. It's just a tool and can protect your dog and keep it out of crap. Christ.. they muzzle jack russels and whippets when they do sport with them.
