Dog Headcollars
Keep your dog from barking or biting with high-quality dog muzzles from Chewy. Muzzles can be used by pet parents for a variety of reasons, but the most common is to prevent biting. Muzzles come in multiple varieties, such as snap closure dog muzzle, buckle closure dog muzzle or a reflective dog muzzle, but choosing the best dog muzzle is determined by your canine's behavior. A nylon dog muzzle is a good dog muzzle for biting, because it keeps a canine's mouth almost completely shut. The restrictive design keeps pups from panting, so they should not be used in hot weather or for long periods of time. The basket dog muzzle allows a dog to open and close his mouth.
Muzzles are used to prevent dogs from snapping during pet manicures, cleanings or vaccinations. A muzzle might be necessary for the sensitive pup who bites during visits to the groomer or veterinarian. Muzzles can also be used during training sessions to help modify bad behaviors. While muzzling your dog may seem harsh, there are circumstances where it becomes necessary. For example, it may be necessary to muzzle your dog while in the rehabilitation process. If stressful situations cause your dog to bite, a muzzle for dogs may be necessary when he's introduced to new environments or multiple people. Muzzles should be used for brief periods of time, up to twenty minutes, depending on the temperature and level of activity.
When picking a muzzle for small dogs or a muzzle for big dogs, the key is to find the right size and proper fit to help your furry friend avoid discomfort. Chewy carries a variety of dog muzzles from top brands like Dogs My Love dog muzzles and PetSafe . PetSafe dog muzzles come in all sizes, so you can find the perfect one for small dogs. The Four Paws Quick Fit Muzzle is easy to get on, and helps curb your canine's desire to bite, bark and chew. Keep your four-legged friend safe with a muzzle for dogs from Chewy's online pet shop.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dog Headcollars
What are the best dog head collars?
The best dog head collars are well-fitted, sturdy and comfortable for your dog. Look for those made from smooth material, with no rough edges or sharp hardware, plus good noseband padding for added comfort. Dog halters with quick-release latches make getting the collar on and off a little easier, while adjustable straps will help you get the perfect fit. A clip that attaches to your dog's regular collar is a nice added safety feature, in case he manages to wiggle out of the head collar. Your vet can give you additional guidance on choosing the best head collar and using it properly for training.
How do you train a dog to wear a head collar?
Train a dog to wear a head collar by starting slowly and rewarding the dog for tolerating the head collar with treats. Start by showing your dog the collar and putting just the noseband part on at first. Give treats to help your dog associate the feeling of the noseband with rewards and progress to longer periods of wearing it over several days. Then, repeat the acclimation/reward process with the neck band part on, as well. Once your dog is ready, you can attach the leash and slowly start training your dog to use it. Talk to your vet or trainer about proper head collar training procedures or look for helpful training videos online.
Do head halters stop dogs from biting?
Head halters do not stop dogs from biting, but they can be used as part of training to discourage aggression and certain biting behaviors. Dog head halters let you move your dog's head away from the stimulus that is provoking aggression and may help avert some nips and bites. They do not, however, completely control agitated dogs or keep them from biting. For dogs that exhibit problem biting behaviors, a muzzle may be more appropriate.
Are dog head collars cruel?
Dog head collars are not cruel, and they can be an effective training tool, especially for more powerful dogs and those who pull. As with any training tool, they must be used and fitted properly to ensure safety and best results.
