Muzzles, good or bad? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Muzzles should only be used for temporary restraint/protection. I suggest you invest in a crate or x-pen to keep your dog in during the day, and you should also go through your house and puppy proof it

I would crate em' instead and a bunch of chew toys. I had a Samoyed years ago who we gave the run of the house while we were gone. We began crating her again after she sat on our stairs and ate an area of the wall

Dogs just get bored when we're away. Be proactive about giving him something to do in a controlled area with nothing you want damaged in it

They need their mouth - don't muzzle em.

I would never use a muzzle. If you let your puppy roam....they will seek out things to chew on!!! NEVER let your puppy roam!!!
