I want a good muzzle . My German Shepherd has turned mean. Looked at several stores. Can only find cloth muzzles or plastic. She rips up both in a few seconds. Cost is no issue . Looking for a good steel and leather muzzle

I would also get some help for your dog before it hurts someone. Some obedience classes maybe?

A muzzle isn't meant as a long term solution.

If you can't keep your hound safe from getting beat up by your dog aggressive dog, please consider rehoming the hound.

Ruth has proved for me the quality of her dogs and the works she does. Good luck.

Ya, I wasn't trying to be mean. Just thinking that if the hound keeps getting beat up on it might start getting aggressive too. Dogs sometimes think that the best defense is a good offense, ya know?

I've had good luck with a Baskerville muzzle, the dog can eat, drink, and pant freely.

I've heard good things about both the trainers you mentioned. Good luck.

Been walking them together on occasion . Tonight is first night they are back together . It's still pretty sketchy . Never did buy that fancy muzzle or go to Ruth. However we are making good progress . Hopefully I don't get bit again . Almost lost my left pinky to my hound a while back
