MTT Info Charts
Muzzle Training and Tips are the only ones who have a full and accurate size, measurement and weight chart for these muzzles. Most companies use a wildly inaccurate or incomplete chart, which is unfair to customers who should know exactly what they are purchasing.
Make & Material
The M3/M4 muzzle is made from a thicker wire than CHOPO and JVM. It is much harder to bend to either modify or break. They are slightly heavier, especially with all the straps they have.
All their sizes come with the full neck strap, adjustable cheek straps, chin tab to muzzle, noseband with felt and an adjustable head strap. These straps are thicker leather and work well for dogs with wider/smaller heads than usual.
These muzzles also come in a rubberised version though they are much harder to find than the standard wire. The front of the muzzles also has an extra bar on the inside which can help stop the mouth from getting to the end of the muzzle.
FDT ‘M9/M10’ (WORLDWIDE)
For dog trainers aren't the best place to purchase from, following the instructions below will help significantly with everything going well.
While their international shipping is okay, the cost is slightly pricey, and shipping is slower. They also use CHOPO as a supplier but use their own numbers and measurements (Same as D&T sizes and the F sizes on LEERBURG). See here for how they size, shipping and wait time info.
What to do for best outcome:
-
Pick the model (M9/M10) and location you want
-
Pick the size given on rec (1-30) *drop down may say ‘I will fill my dogs measurements’, click that to select size.*
-
Do NOT give them any information like measurements, breed, size or age. They WILL size wrong and possibly refuse to refund.
-
Use PayPal, using this ensures you have back up if they try to refuse a refund/exchange. They may also help with the return shipping fee.
-
Once purchased it’s likely they will email/call you for your information, reply to ‘send the size you ordered’. They will send it.
Not following the above puts you at high risk of getting the wrong size and not being able to return it.

I have (2) M3 size B3 for our Boxer girls and these have been an absolute lifesaver! I’ve tried 3 different muzzles prior to this and the dogs would not hardly move with them on. These arrived, we put them on and our house seems back to normal! These are lightweight, breathable, they can drink and take treats with them, run and play with them on!

We have an M4 size R1 from Dean and Tyler that is a little small for my dog but I didn't know this group existed at the time for sizing help. I instead naively gave my measurements to D&T and ended having to send back and reorder 4 different muzzles, paying shipping each time, until I ultimately told them to take their recommendations and get stuffed and picked one out myself based on their measurement charts. The final muzzle I received was a bit warped and needed bending back into shape. I also would have ordered from a cheaper shop had I known there were other options. Other than that this muzzle is fine. It required modification is squishing of the sides and cutting of the nose pad, but it's bite proof and has prevented an incident or two.
