You know the old description of a dog which recruits learned in the army or police?
"A "complete" dog consists of a actual dog, dog-muzzle, collar and leash.

But also now we need it while training with a Wolfdog: there are some tests in obedience (testing if the dog is used to the muzzle) and in protection work (during protection of an object)...

There are different types. For a obedience a platic one will be enough. For protection work you will need metal dog-muzzle. There are great muzzles which you can buy in specialized shops which you can put on the dog without unbuckling.

In this case I think the platic muzzle is the best solution: it is light, easy to clean, and most dogs like it....
