Baskerville ULTRA Dog Muzzle | Size 6

Honestly this saved my 5 year old boxer/pit from going to the shelter. Out of nowhere he started attacking my 7 year old lab every time he saw him and started being super aggressive so we purchased this to save my lab. My boxer has tried to attack him twice with the muzzle on and the muzzle prevented him from being able to attack and bite my dog. I love that he can still drink water with it on and pant. the material seems very durable and he can’t chew it. It also fits his big, boxy head to where he can’t get it off. This was the best $30 I’ve spent and I highly recommend if you need a muzzle. For reference, we ordered the size 5 and it fits him perfect .

We needed a muzzle for our 2 Male Great Danes that are 2 year old brothers and are nervous around new people and new situations since they are rescues that were not socialized properly and were abused. We wanted to ensure that when going to the Vet for a check up that no one would get bit. We had tried another muzzle the vet let us borrow that had a belt buckle like closure but that took too long to close and our one dog would go nuts and we could never get it on him. So I knew I was looking for something that had a one click closure option. I read through a lot of reviews and once I came upon this product I saw how many great reviews it got, so we gave it a try and have been very happy with it for both dogs. The one click closure works quickly and solved the problem we had before. This product comes with an extra security strap that runs from the nose to the head to ensure the dog can not pull the muzzle off with their paws or by rubbing it on the ground. I love this extra sense of security. It also has a loop on the bottom where the collar could run through it to ensure the dog could not pull it off that way either, but we have not had a need to use that option. I love how the dog has plenty of openings to breathe easily while wearing it and how they can easily be fed treats through it and could drink if needed with it on. Very well made design all around and a quality product. Our Great Danes are both Males and one weighs 133 and the other weighs 139. We bought Size 6 for both of them and it fits both of them great and they still have plenty of room between the end of muzzle and their nose. We did lots of treat training for 2 weeks with the muzzles before attempting to actually have them wear them. Meaning the first day we just let them sniff the muzzles and then they got a treat. Then for 1 week we would hold a treat at the end of the muzzle and the only way the dog could get the treat was to put their nose in the muzzle and get it. Then the next week we would still hold the treat at the end of the muzzle, but the difference was that we would not immediately release the treat like before. We would purposely hold the treat tighter so that the dog had to work harder to get the treat and that way they would be in the muzzle for about 3-5 seconds, just to get them used to the feeling more. Then at the 2 week mark, while still giving them a treat through it, we closed it. At first they both tried to paw and rub to get it off but we immediately said lets go for a walk and they were so distracted and excited about that that they barely messed with them after that. Then when we went on a walk a few days later they had no issues with putting them on and they only tried to mess with them once and then stopped after that while on walk. Would highly recommend this product.

After 3 1/2 years of getting along beautifully, my two girls, a Siberian Husky and a GSD/Boxer mix, decided it was time to renegotiate the role of Alpha dog. They had never fought before and when they went at each other with no warning (well, I'm sure there were signs that I, as a stupid human missed) I was absolutely terrified. There is no doubt in my mind that they were prepared to fight to the death. Both dogs had to be sewn up and my hand ended up in someone's mouth when I tried to separate them and was pretty severely injured. I was in tears for two days, wondering how I was going to make it work long-term with three dogs, two of whom could have absolutely no contact with each other. They were still total lovebugs and as sweet as ever with me and with my other dog. But they wanted to kill each other. After doing some research and contacting a behaviorist, the idea of muzzles came up. I hadn't thought of muzzles, since I guess I had bought into the idea that they were for "bad" dogs. That's not the case. Muzzles can be an incredible tool. They provide a safe, fail-proof environment and allow us to work on the real issues. They let us be a happy family again. I bought the Baskerville muzzles, as they seemed like the best choice for active dogs since the dogs can pant, drink, take treats and the ventilation is excellent. It honestly only took about 10 minutes each to get the girls comfortable with letting me put them on. As recommended, I held the muzzle cupped in my hand with plenty of choice treats at the bottom. Each dog put their face in on their own to retrieve the treats. Once the muzzle was seen as a treat dispenser, it was no problem to get it buckled around the dog's head. It is a bit of a pain to find the holes in the strap, but when I found the best fit for each dog, I marked that hole with a dab of paint so I could locate it quickly. I used the over the head straps at first, but they were always flopping in the dogs' eyes. I took them off and neither dog has ever pulled their muzzle off. Truthfully, they're so used to them that they don't try to pull them off. These muzzles have just become a part of life and neither of my girls has any problem wearing one. When they see the muzzles, they sit nicely and are more than happy to put their face in as I hold the muzzle out. They seem to know it means family time. When wearing their muzzles, they get along great and play together without any aggression. They're very active, athletic dogs and wearing these particular muzzles has allowed them to remain so. Neither their vision nor their breathing is hindered in the least. They both realized right away that they could drink with no difficulty. They even snuggle together for naps, just like they used to. I think it puts them on equal footing, and since they know they can't fight, they don't even bother. I know it's the muzzles that make the difference because when they're not wearing them, hackles are raised and they still snarl at each other through a gate. I don't ever leave the dogs unattended with the muzzles on. I have this great fear of someone getting caught on something or somehow getting them off and fighting. During those times, they're in separate rooms. I also take the muzzles off and put up a baby gate every few hours and at meal times, just to give them a break. However, given the choice, my 3 dogs want to be together, so they do wear their muzzles for many hours at a time. The one problem we had was with rubbing on the tops of the dogs' snouts. Like I said, my dogs do wear these a lot, but the rubbing was enough to cause discomfort and rub fur off. I added some neoprene padding and that took care of the issue, but I'd like to see more padding in the design. I'm so happy that someone recommended muzzles and this brand specifically. I was so afraid of the logistics of keeping my dogs separated while still providing plenty of love and attention and exercise to each of them. I was scared of what would happen if I made a mistake and forgot to close a door. How would we go hiking? How would we take road trips? With the Baskerville Ultra Muzzles, I can have my loves together and we can do all of the things we've always done. These have simply become part of our daily routine and everyone is safe and happy and loved. I hope we can work through the aggression to the point that we won't need the muzzles. But, if not I know we'll be okay and I can't explain how much that means.

My one-year-old dog, a black lab/greyhound mix, eats rocks. Lots of rocks. And after an expensive surgery to alleviate the latest mineral meal, we knew it was time to try something different, before she killed herself or our bank account. We purchased this muzzle, along with a plastic "Basket Cage Dog Muzzle", hoping one of the two might work. The generic one was a bust--the strap mechanism was awful, simply sliding off, and construction was cheap. We dumped it within a day. This, on the other hand, has much more possibility. The rubber is flexible yet tough, much more reliable than the first one. And it feels like it would be more comfortable (although, of course, she hates it--who wouldn't, except perhaps Hannibal Lector?). Now, on the downside, she's already broken on of the ribs/spokes/bars of the cage, not in a way that helps her eat rocks, but we've only had it for three weeks, so I'll admit I'm concerned about its longevity. The straps, too, are rugged, but they also present the biggest issue. It's a belt-like design, with a tongue that slips through holes. And the holes are hidden in a strange fold-like construction of the strap. So every time you're starting out from ground zero, with different tightness, sliding the strap back and forth, hoping to catch a hole on the tongue. Which doesn't sound like a big deal, until you remember ... it's a dog. And dogs aren't that patient, particularly when they want to go outside. My children get so frustrated with the issue they often "forget" to put the muzzle on, and my wife complains about it as well. I keep telling them, "with use, I'm sure the holes will open up," but so far, they really haven't. An alternative construction, with one of those snapping clasps on the same rugged strap, would make all the difference in the world. There is an additional strap, which runs over the dog's head between the eyes and attaches to the main strap. A good idea for stability and snugness, but the design of the clasp doesn't actually fit well on the main strap itself, and it's constantly coming off, leaving that strap to swing and bap our dog in the face. Now, the final element--besides rocks, she also eats poop. Yes, I know. Ech. And since she's worn the muzzle ... we've still witnessed her eat poop, through the holes. The holes in this muzzle are much larger than those in the cheap "basket" one referenced above, and they allow entry of much more than water. So, is she still eating rocks? We haven't seen her do it yet, poop's a bit more malleable, but I'm not guaranteed she hasn't. So I give it a three, probably would choose three and a half if available, based on our limited experiences, but even with the promotion of this muzzle as a breakthrough device, I think there's great room for improvement in this particular product area.

I'm writing this review because I've recently tried out a couple basket muzzles for our Saint that has recently shown some aggressiveness. Muzzles, in general, have a mixed bag of fans/critics. However, when you have a 150 pound dog you really don't want to bite anyone (and shows somewhat of a desire) it's a no brainer. I tried one of the metal basket muzzles first. It was one of the more expensive ones on Amazon so I assumed it was "better". Our pooch really wouldn't warm up to it. Not to mention it just looked cumbersome and awkward. I'm sure it was effective..imagine putting a steel bird-cage around a dog's muzzle..no way they are going to bite. But, let's just say, it would take some getting use to for both the animal and the human. OK back to the focus on the Baskerville. Even though I measured snout length/diameter carefully I decided to purchase both the 5 and 6. Because his measurements were in between. Glad I did. I tried the 6 on him first and it was near perfect. The 5 I couldn't even get around his face. So, there is a tremendous difference between the sizes imo. Amazon was kind enough to accept the size 5 back. We fed him treats through the unattached muzzle a few times before we actually strapped it around his head. This is a standard for muzzle-training from what my "internet sources" have suggeted.. He had no problems wearing it and soon as I strapped it on him. It went on easily. I gave him some jerky treats through the bottom slot. No problem for him to eat them. We kept it on for about 2 minutes the first time. Second time was 5 minutes. He did try to scrape it off once, but didn't really "appear" to be stressed by it in anyway. And I can say that the scraping with his big bear-like paws didn't even stretch the leather and the muzzle held firmly in place. I'm fairly confident he'll adapt to the point I can take him on long hikes in the woods, which he loves, with the muzzle on. Just going to build up gradually. I'm leading in with perfect scores because of the initial ease to acclimate. Thought it was going to be much more difficult. Functionally I've not really had the opportunity to "run it through the rigors". Which, I hope I don't have to. Our boy obeys pretty good, but the muzzle is just that worst case scenario failsafe. Anyway, this is my initial assessment of the Baskerville Ultra Muzzle.

So at first I thought about returning this muzzle for my dog because he could easily remove it, and it wasn’t fitting his muzzle in the right position. And I realized that the fit had to do with the strap that went between his eyes in the front . I removed that strap and it fits him perfectly, and he can’t remove it. Now it works as it was intended and it fits his muzzle better, he can’t remove it at all and he can still pant and drink his water. Awesome muzzle.

The size recommendations are way off. The circumference standards aren't close to my dog's and completely unhelpful. The eye-to-nose measurement is informative, but still not determinative. It would have led me to purchase a model larger than appropriate. My dog, a Boxer mix, is supposedly a size 5, but I read enough reviews to order a 4 and it fits perfectly --neither too constricting nor too loose. With that minor reservation, this is an incredibly well-designed product. The reviewer who says he regarded it as only an interim solution while awaiting a much more expensive rigid steel basket is nuts. The virtue of this product is that it secures the dog's muzzle without impairing the dog's vision, movement, and comfort as a metal muzzle would. The rubber material is not heavy enough to be annoying while still providing the desired stability. My dog adapted to it immediately. He now voluntarily puts his head into it. A few times he has rubbed his head against grass, but I interpreted that to be more an effort to relieve an itch than to dislodge the muzzle. He has never used his leg, for example, to try to remove it as dogs often do with medical cones. I also don't get the gripes about closing and locking the ends of the muzzle. That feature is similar to that found on my dog's collar. The key is to lift the female end off the male end rather than trying to force the male end out of the female end. As long as you apply the two pressure levers at the same time to the same degree, the female end lifts off easily. Nor do you need a second collar to secure the muzzle; its securing loop easily slips on and off the dog's existing collar. I was self-conscious about resorting to a muzzle because I thought it indicated some inadequacy in my own ability to train my dog or my dog's character. I was wrong about that. In many cases, we don't, and cannot, know what triggers each individual dog to express his anxiety by sometimes biting. All we can do is contain that instinctive reaction he can't control himself. I am so grateful to have a device as carefully conceived as this one to do so.

this is a very good muzzle, especially for the price point. I put off buying one for ages, put off by it being rubber... "plastic has to be better than rubber," I told myself- whatever the strength/consistency of the rubber- and kept my dog's plastic muzzle while looking for a local wire one (so I'd be able to try it on my dog before making such an investment). after being unable to find a wire one, someone at my local pet store brought up the Baskerville muzzle again. I decided to try it after all, because the plastic basket muzzle we had wasn't ideal for giving treats, which is an essential part of the counter conditioning I'm doing with my dog and her reactivity. the Baskerville muzzle is made with a hole at an angle down from the dog's bottom teeth. my dog often tries to take treats right in front of her nose, which is slightly more difficult because the holes there are different, but with some practice, she's much better at it than she was at first. treating with a muzzle is never going to be easy, but an added benefit of this muzzle is that i don't even have to treat from my hand; i can toss the treat on the ground and my dog can still get it. the size 3 muzzle is roughly the right size for my dog- a bit on the big side. size 2 is too small. due to the straps/padding that go on the underside of her neck and the length of her lower jaw, the muzzle pointed up at a good 60-degree angle when she wore it. it looked very uncomfortable and got in her line of sight, sooo... I cut the lower straps. good idea? bad idea? it's more comfortable for her now, so /shrug. whatever works the security of a muzzle is necessary to take into account, considering that many dog owners need muzzles for managing aggression. this is probably one of the muzzles capable of the highest level of safety, given its optional head strap and the collar attachment loop. using all of the safety options, a dog is gonna have a tough time getting this off. however, there is no muzzle in existence that a dog CANNOT get off if he is determined to get it off. "my dog got this off and ate it in three minutes/while I was gone/while I wasn't looking"- 99% of reviewers who say this about any muzzle have not conditioned their dog to tolerate a muzzle. put a muzzle on a dog who's not muzzle trained and he's going to paw at it, roll around, rub his face on nearby objects- anything to get it off. if someone were to put duct tape on your mouth, you'd do something similar. if your dog needs to wear a muzzle for any amount of time and you won't be able to actively keep him from trying to get the muzzle off, you NEED to muzzle train him before muzzling him. this means getting him to associate the muzzle with good things (toys, treats, belly rubs), THEN bit by bit starting to put the muzzle on. for a single second at first, then five, then ten, and so on until your dog is absolutely comfortable having the muzzle on his face. this is the only way for all these safety measures to work 100%. a muzzle, like any other tool, requires training before it can effectively be used. in closing- I wish that there were perhaps some other size options, more overlap maybe? so the size 3 wouldn't be too large for my dog, and that the padded straps had some method of adjustment, but other than that, I really like this muzzle. I absolutely recommend it to people who desire to muzzle train their dogs, for any reason.

Very impressed with the Baskerville Ultra Muzzle. It feels strong and well made, and the design is both secure and comfortable for my dog. The fit is adjustable and allows for panting and drinking, which is really important. Once fitted properly, it stays in place without causing discomfort or rubbing. The quality is excellent and gives peace of mind in public situations. Overall, a reliable and thoughtfully designed muzzle—highly recommend.

the dog owners dilemma..something made the dog more fearful and yet avoiding all dogs is impossible. you either pull them along in town and frighten everyone including your dog, or you go to open ground and get dragged by leads due to it being a scenting dog and every other dog is off lead which in a pack doesnt work as one copies the other..so you take them seperate and get desperate. some are on lead some are not and just a nightmare if you have a pack of dogs. visibility on public paths is really poor in most areas and you cant know when a dog will come around a corner or bushes..unexpected things like horses or joggers well you cant always train for everything and when you try the horse owners assume your eyeing up stealing them and erect fencing so your miles away. my girl loves to swim and retrieve (only downside) and is super duper high energy needing to run run run (pointer cross collie maybe) having found she is a total escape artist..getting out of harnesses..halti's...collars..its been a long expensive journey with a lot of apologies. to the point now where my heart races and she has no hope of behaving well as im so nervous and worried she will get off the lead-walking her in the village means she has to confront her fears without escape and pants before every corner which cant be fun. so....muzzle time. had i a low-medium energy dog not of her breed perhaps id have have said ok-but no..she has double the energy release needs than that of my collie. it all builds up and you have a nerve bundle, miserable dog at home who has to watch pining as you go on trips with the others in the car who never gets to swim or run..as everyone knows long leads can be a danger..and fear goes above any good training ive found. i HAVE to find a compassionate way to help her so she has options of socialising or keeping away. i trained her to like it using treats..and though when she gets hot it does irritate her and she tries to remove it..also when dogs come out of the water with sticks she can have a go as she wants a stick /ball and cant have it due to the muzzle which i know is frustrting. but it is the price i pay for calming my nerves, her security so that she is not accused of biting, and everyone else too. im lucky in that its not fighting as such just charge with growl/bark so i never have to intervene i just shout oi and she runs back to me and we are working on it during the week with critical distance..i go lonely places at lonely times to reduce this and let her expend that energy and then when its expended ive taken her to apopular off lead park a good way from mine where i can visibly see whos on lead and avoid as on lead dog gets a fright and my girl gets reinforced as dog cant respond for her to learn. my god what a different dog on lead in village or off in an open space..ive been pleasantly surprised at how her issues are nowhere near what it looks like on lead , at one point being surrounded by dogs and two chiwahwahs in tutus without her even bothered..she was obsessed with the swimming. yes there is the odd shouty person but usually i try and approoach at distance and explain what im doing and ive had such positive responses, the odd not so but its rare.if you go somewhere where they take them to socialise you find they are much more accustomed to normal dog behaviour than other places where its mostly on lead.last encounter she saw 5 big dogs on a narrow path and came running back to me..major breakthrough-ive found its bigger dogs..fast dogs that she most worried about especially on a narrow path -after some time i have no doubt she will either play with them or keep with me and not react anymore as she seems to be getting caalmer about the whole thing now ive used muzzle and given her freedom back as she isnt bubbling over with excess energy..im super reassured as ive tested this muzzle ages before i met dogs and she cant get it off at all. the plastic is really strong..you can feed treats though its difficult..and the metal clasp is 100% safer than the previous model which always snapped..i dont use the head strap. also i didnt know about the stretching it to fit in hot water tip...so i now have one spare as its too big but ill give it to a rescue. my fear was always- "right, what if i keep it away from dogs and everyone forever and then suddenly lead breaks..dogs runs into their face, etc etc.."i dont feel ok or like a responsible dog owner not to have socialized her at all as a rule and then blaming others if their dogs get a bite i find that crazy..a lead is not infallible and doesn't excuse no good training, and what if it bit a child while on lead..of course its still your dogs fault!! you cant say well it shouldn't have ran up to my dog!-and seeing people hiding behind cars and all sorts in my neighborhood it feels like pacman and just crazy stressful and nothing for the dogs needs really. it was amazing how seeing her on lead made me terrified to let her go..restrict her life-only to realize later its nowhere near it off lead-i wish everyone knew that on lead behavior can even be total opposite to off and not to let it scare them off socializing and getting their needs met. to be fair..a good number of jack russels and esp frenchies and so , do what she does with owners never thinking its a problem yet theres me going bright red and feeling terrible..so i hope people realize i really do and am really working on it all for the good of my dog and others x if you too are in this position i really recommend this muzzle. ive binned all the others and no longer need to worry about somehow losing hold of her nor horrid walks on the block with useless cheese and disapproving looks and evenings spent trying to wear her out in the house without a minute peace!im very confident that this is far better and more humane way at reducing aggression than other methods.and actually now see that pulling her around on a cord when she is terrified was actually super cruel increasing her fear, ihope in future shame gets removed from dog ownership..its not always the owners fault..esp when we take on rescues and judging others is awful and non supportive, this removes that isolation and everyone feels better x andbest yet your dog has a life again. last point..ive tried lots of "less intimidatin" looking muzzles..and concluded that it is massvively risky to use on on a whole walk..dogs NEED to pant or they can die during their walk..soo dangerous..she kept collapsing with another well known one ancol i believe..if its needed for the length of a walk..ALWAYS use an open one and not one where the dogs jaw is kept nearly close..-stuff what others think or that it "looks" like your dog is more dangerous..appeasing others wouldnt be on your priority list if your dog dies in the process -educate owners that look worried about it..

product excellent....dog didnt like of course....but got it fitted....followed youtube to shape ... all good

Excellent muzzle.

Material and quality is top notch
