- ROZCHOV | Muzzle Training and Tips
ROZCHOV Wire Muzzles A new brand of wire muzzle has been made available to you by MTT. Available in the EU and now worldwide these muzzles are very similar to CHOPO but not the exact same. We think they are better than CHOPO with many more sizes fitting dogs better. Manufacturer: ROZCHOV Location: Europe Ships: EU only unless from MTT (Worldwide) Options: 50+ sizes Sellers: 2+ Scavenge Proof: Partially can be covered Bite proof: Yes When I started adding ROZCHOV info to our website I noticed that most suppliers listed it by breed and they had no consistent sizes/charts or measurements. I spent a lot of time working out the correct numbers/options based on many websites and was finally able to list all sizes because MTT feels that listing sizes by breed is inaccurate and affects the chance of getting a well fit muzzle and sizing correctly. Below The chart shows the corresponding breeds/numbers, this is mainly for our European members needing to find the sizes on EU stores. Pros & Cons What is good or bad about these muzzles will depend on the dog, owner and also size. This list below is generalised. PROs: Bite proof Large range of sizes For small to xl large dogs Lightweight (considering), normal wire is a smidge lighter. Regular wire and rubberised option (for heat/cold) Nose padding Can be modified (noseband/straps etc.) Good for long tongues Well ventilated Can drink, take treats and pant when correctly fit. CONS: Not great for some muzzle punchers Sleeping in it is more challenging (sometimes) One strap (can add your own) Not as great for determined scavengers (needs easy mods) Companies that sell them size wrong and have incorrect measurements. 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. Measurement Chart Individual Muzzle Charts Muzzled Dog Charts Muzzle Comparison Charts ROZCHOV may look very similar to CHOPO or JVM, but they are entirely different manufacturers/makers. You can see these muzzles nosebands are primarily under the wire compared to CHOPO which have the extra 'square' to move the noseband back. They are slightly lighter than CHOPO muzzles and are easier to bend. The straps and noseband are cheaper faux leather and may need replacing. In pic: Normal wire is the ROZCHOV, rubberised is a CHOPO.

Resistant to scraping on fences as well as dirt and odours, machine and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning and disinfecting. You can purchase a 'stool guard' to go with either size of Birdwell Muzzle, it sits inside the large muzzle and outside of the medium muzzle. There is a few types of stool guards you can buy that could fit but we recommend just sticking with the Birdwell guard. Look-A-Likes Birdwell muzzles have a few other brands that are really similar, the Brocks (full grip supply) is the closest you can find to Birdwell but there is a Similar style from Aus which are soft material and the 114 from The muzzle Shop is also very similar. In the picture in a Birdwell vs Brocks muzzle. Where/How To Purchase https://www.themuzzleshop.com/ https://amzn.to/3fE8z1Y * Affiliate link* Member Reviews Very happy with our large purple Birdwell. Lightweight, colourful and VERY sturdy. Easy to modify. We put it in hot but not boiling water and pulled out the sides to make it wider. Not easily taken off by the dog, thanks to the chin strap it comes with. If I had to come up with something I don't like about it.. it would be that the strap and the basket of the muzzle are two different shades of purple. All the other colours don't seem to have that issue. 😁Edit: Forgot to mention that it had a strong smell of cigarette smoke when it arrived. It went away after dipping it in hot water and letting it sit outside in the sun for a day. - Send more in to add Load More Back To Top

Unfortunately we do not have these muzzles measured by hand yet. Make & Material What your leather muzzle is made of and how well it's made will depend entirely on the brand, style and size you purchase. Some muzzles are cheap leather that will break fast and are harder to clean. You want to look for genuine leather muzzles or close to in quality. Leather muzzles to be bite/scavenge proof also need a fully covered front to be entirely safe for most dogs. This picture shows a cheap strapped 'leather' muzzle that is dangerous to use, easy to break etc. The middle muzzle is a medium cost option with good quality leather. The last pic is the same quality leather, but it also has the custom painting. You can also buy leather muzzles with a metal bar in the front. We do not recommend using these unless for sports/working as they can be pretty different.

Most companies use a wildly inaccurate or incomplete chart, which is unfair to customers who should know exactly what they are purchasing. Unfortunately we do not have the full measurements on these muzzles yet. Make & Material Greyhound muzzles come in all shapes, colours, materials, and sometimes sizes (though still limited to certain types). Muzzles like Birdwell, don pare and some TMS sizes are the largest greyhound style muzzles you can get. They are made from either hard plastic or a softer silicone. These usually have stool guards to fit as they are considered a 'kennel' muzzle, not a racing muzzle. The lightweight racing muzzles you see usually are wire or flexible/lightweight plastic like pictured. They prevent nipping whilst running but are not usually an excellent choice for more determined biters. Most muzzles you find will be plastic/wire with either PVC, wire or nylon straps. Sometimes, the straps will be too small for normal-sized dogs, but the basket will fit, requiring some strap mods. GREY AUS Made from a softer plastic, the second option is a hard/strong plastic. MILLERS Our Super 5 Wire Muzzles are meticulously handmade from high quality spring tempered, stainless steel wire and soldered with 34% silver content solder on all crossover points. This makes the solder points as strong as the wire itself giving it a very high tensile strength of 28.

They are slightly lighter than CHOPO muzzles and are easier to bend. The straps and noseband are both thicker nylon material. The noseband does have padding on it too. The rubberised coating is for the weather (extreme heat/snow), corrosion, protection, etc. It makes it slightly heavier than the standard wire model.

No Escape Harnesses Credit to: Aylin Da One important piece of gear when working with (or owning) fearful dogs is a safety/no escape/"escape-proof" harness (no harness will ever be 100% escape-proof). It's not something that's really necessary for your average dog but incredibly helpful and important for fearful dogs. Usually these are foreign rescue dogs but can be from various backgrounds. When I first got my current dog, he could not go off leash, I did not (exclusively) walk him on a collar. He's a Romanian rescue dog that did not get to know a lot of things before arriving at the shelter I was volunteering at at the time. To him, bikes were scary, other people were scary, children were scary, strollers were scary, walking poles were scary, and so on. Many other foreign rescue dogs and their owners have a similar experience. I do not consider my dog a (very) fearful dog. If he ever did escape, I would however describe him as a fearful dog (but that is a post for another day). I used to use a no escape harness for him for several months and still do in certain situations (e.g. a couple of days leading up to and after New Year's Eve). A regular harness only has one strap behind the front legs and dogs can easily back out of them. A harness with a second belly strap will help keep these dogs safe in the beginning stages. For some, that's a couple of weeks, some a couple of months, some never "graduate" to a different kind of harness or collar only. There are different types and brands of no escape harnesses - padding or not, connection between both belly straps or not, different number of leash attachments etc. It can get confusing if you're new to them, just like different types of muzzles can be confusing when you're new to muzzling. I've listed four common types/brands and their differences below though to give you a rough idea: 1) Ruffwear Web Master - this is the one you'll probably most commonly see, two buckles, first and second strap are not connected underneath; there are also various off-brand versions of this harness, which will work just as well. See notes for a list of different ones.¹ 2) Sientas - popular in Germany and with a lot of rescue organizations. I do like these for rescue mutts because they seem to accommodate their proportions the best.² No padding for the most basic version but padding can be added when ordering. First and second strap are connected underneath, four buckles. 3) AnnyX - another popular brand in Germany, padded, first and second strap are connected underneath, four buckles. 4) Grossenbacher , most similar to Ruffwear Flagline - my personal favorite, very lightweight, four buckles, first and second strap are connected underneath. Issues with 1) and 2): 1) First and second strap are not connected. This causes the second belly strap to slide further back than it's supposed to. This is an issue for two reasons. One, it's sitting behind the ribcage and pressing into the dog's intestines (or genitals, definitely more of an issue for male dogs), especially if the dog is trying to back out of the harness and adding additional pressure to the second strap. Two, if the strap is sitting more diagonally, it's impairing overall security of the harness because the strap won't be as tight as it would be when sitting correctly. This could lead to the dog being able to back out of this harness after all. Ruffwear's Brush Guard (or alternatively their Core Cooler ) is an easy fix for this. 2) When opting for the unpadded version, this could cause rubbing and hot spots. Obviously padding would fix this. How to properly fit a no escape harness: 1. Measure around neck 2. Measure around chest behind front legs 3. Measure around the end of ribcage 4. Measure back length Once you have your harness, it needs to be adjusted properly as well. Second belly strap should roughly sit on the last two ribs (see first image) and will need to be tighter than the deepest/widest part of your dog's chest behind the front legs (see second image). That way, the harness can't be pulled off (similar to how a snug collar when securing a muzzle - or martingale/slip collar - works). You don't want the harness to press into your dog's intestines or genitals (see third image). For extra security, you do want to use two leashes, one attached to the harness and your body and one attached to collar and held in your hand. Carabiners can break or snap, leashes can tear. Should this happen and you only have one leash attached to the harness, even the best fit no escape harness won't do you any good. First image: one leash attached to harness only - this will work but if leash or hardware break, you will have a loose dog Second image: two attachment points, both harness, collar not available - better than 1) but if for some reason the harness snaps or the dog manages to back out of it after all, you have no backup Third image: two attachment points, harness and collar - this way you have a backup both if something breaks and if your dog manages to back out of the harness for whatever reason after all (generally if it's an ill fit or not adjusted right) You can use various types of collars but these are the ones I would recommend for backup security purposes: 1) Martingale 2) Slip or limited slip 3) Regular flat collar Do keep in mind that all of these, when at their tightest in the case of 1) and 2), need to be tighter than the widest part of your dog's head to be effective as a backup security measure. How it prevents them from backing out of the harness: As explained above, the second belly strap is tighter than your dog's deepest/widest part of the chest behind the legs. Most commonly, with a regular harness, you will hold the leash in your hand, your dog will back up and often make a bowing motion with their head down. Now the harness can easily slip over the head and legs. The dog is no longer wearing a harness and is able to run off. This won't happen with a no escape harness. If your dog is overweight, the second strap might not be any tighter though, simply due to your dog's shape - body conditioning score (BCS) of 6/7 (depending on the dog) or above. In this case, I highly recommend using a collar as a backup (and ideally connecting it via neckline) as well. And speaking of shape and proportions, these harnesses - while adjustable - won't fit every dog the same. Some dogs have longer backs, some dogs have a less noticeable tuck than others and so on. Harness in Action (Video) Disclaimer: Please note this video was originally meant for evaluation purposes with minimal intervention. This is not how I recommend handling a situation like this. You will see the video cuts off at the end because I did not want the dog to go into overdrive and react even more intensely. Not shown in the video (due to me stopping the recording to focus on the dog and managing the situation) is me grabbing the dog's harness and applying slight pressure. This helps both keep the dog from literally spinning out of control and to calm the dog down/interrupt the behavior ("conditioned harness pressure"). Ideal setup for an extremely fearful dog: - No escape harness - Collar - 2 leashes (one attached to harness, one attached to collar - one attached to your body, one in your hand) - GPS tracker (optional but highly recommended) - Attaching harness to collar via neckline/short leash/carabiner etc. for extra security (optional)
- CHOPO | Muzzle Training and Tips
CHOPO Wire Muzzles Manufacturer: CHOPO (Europe) Available: Worldwide Options: 30+ sizes Sellers: 8+ (under lots of names) Scavenge Proof: Partially can be covered Bite proof: Yes Because multiple companies sell these muzzles, they have a confusing size/number ‘guide’. Most companies use their own numbers/sizes which means some muzzles have two or more size/numbers even though they are the same muzzle. How it works: CHOPO is the original manufacturer of these muzzles. They have 40+ sizes in total. FDT picked 30 muzzles from their selection and renumbered them 1-30 (no way corresponding to their original model numbers). D&T and LEERBURG (F size) purchased from FDT and kept 1-30 numbers but put their own nosebands on. Now LEERBURG has also started buying directly from CHOPO and have used the correct/original numbers CHOPO use. (C sizes) For example: when we say 1F/20C this is one size with 2 size names. So you would purchase 1 from FDT or D&T, 1F or 20C from LEERBURG or 20C from MTT. All the same muzzle, simple as that. They may have different rubber coating and nosebands but they are still the same model. We have put together a chart that shows all the corresponding sizes/numbers from each company. As well as a folder with a picture of each of the sizes with their numbers. If you are still confused, you likely haven’t been sized by MTT, who will give you the exact sizes you need from all companies. REMEMBER: ONLY Muzzle Training and Tips have the correct size chart for the CHOPO 'M9/M10'. Common names/companies: MTT Store 'CHOPO' For dog trainers ‘M9/M10.’ Dean and Tyler ‘Freedom’ Leerburg ‘Polymer Wire (C/F)’ Chicundscharf ‘CHOPO' What is good or bad about these muzzles will depend on the dog, owner and also size. This list below is generalised. Pro/Cons PROs: Bite proof Large range of sizes For small to xl large dogs Lightweight (considering), normal wire is a smidge lighter. Regular wire and rubberised option (for heat/cold) Nose padding Can be modified (noseband/straps etc.) Good for long tongues Well ventilated Can drink, take treats and pant when correctly fit. CONS: Not great for some muzzle punchers Sleeping in it is more challenging (sometimes) One strap (can add your own) Not as great for determined scavengers (needs easy mods) Companies that sell them size wrong and have incorrect measurements. 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. Measurement Charts I ndividual Muzzle Charts Dog Muzzle Charts Muzzle Comparison Charts Make & Material Nosebands: It is very common to get different nosebands when you purchase from different suppliers. Most companies have their own nosebands made to differ in look, material, size and shape. Even though they will use different ones, sometimes, you can receive an FDT from Leerburg if they have forgotten to swap with theirs. There isn't much difference between the US companies except for sizes like 29C or 30C, where they can come with a longer or shorter noseband. You will also see that MTT sells a 'stock' noseband option. This is the commonly used/sold noseband in Europe which is where I source mine from. Finding muzzles with the thicker company noseband proves more difficult. No matter what, they all provide comfort if they fit correctly. Some prefer the wider nosebands, whereas others want the narrow ones that are easy to mod/change. Rubber: The rubberising on these muzzles can change over suppliers/sellers/orders and sizes. These muzzles are dipped in rubber and you will not always get the exact same as the last. CHOPO (C sizes) usually have thicker rubber than FDT/DT/F sizes. No matter the name or company selling these muzzles, the original manufacturer and the company that deserves the credit is Chopo Czech s.r.o. Because the muzzles are handmade, you will also find slight differences throughout each muzzle. As shown in pic, both muzzles are the same size. The right is just the new 'updated' design without the point over the nose. So some companies may still have old stock, which may seem different to the untrained eye. Member Reviews Easily our favourite muzzles. Pros: lightweight, very breathable, bite-proof, allows the dogs to drink/take treats, variety of sizes allowed us for the best fit, pups liked them the best Cons: price, hurts when a dog runs into you - We love these for our GSD and Staffy. We have a size one and a size 20. Pros: durable, and our pups prefer the more open style face vs a head strap like others. Dogs like being able to drink in them also Plus sleepy puppies in them are hilarious Con: It did take a little time readjusting since they are a little heavier than the Baskerville but nothing that a few rounds of reinforcement training can't fit. - I love them! Great size variety, lightweight. My favourite muzzle compared to others I've used. Cons - painful when the dog muzzle punches you - Muzzle punches from these muzzles are no fun. But the variety in sizing is the best. With minor modifications, this muzzle is the best fit for my Doberman. He’s comfortable in it and allows full unrestricted pants, and it looks great! My dog is not a bite risk, but this would be our go-to muzzle if he were. - I really love it now that yall helped us find the right size. The metal makes it easy to get the best fit while remaining bite proof, I also like that I can clearly see my dog's whole face with it on. My only complaint is that it needs to be attached to another collar to be really secure. I also wish the coating on the weatherproof version was sturdier, it scrapes off too easily. - I love how lightweight it is, very roomy for pant and easy access to provide treats. I would say it’s well made and I feel confident that my dog could not bite through it. My dog is very comfortable in this muzzle! The only real con is the nose pad, it just didn’t sit in the right place for us, e.g. close to eyes. This is personal preference though. But a few modifications can be sorted. Where/How To Purchase LEERBURG ‘POLYMER WIRE’ (US) They are a US-based company but ship internationally (though not recommended due to high postage cost). We recommend using Leerburg if you live in the US, this is so you don't take away options/stock for those who can't luckily order from their own country. Everyone except for the EU (Not the UK) and the US has to order from overseas. Do NOT follow their sizing or measurements. They are incorrect and incomplete for correct sizing. See here for how they size, shipping and wait time info. These are labelled as such: C sizes = CHOPO sizing F sizes = FDT sizing For example, if you want a 16F (FDT), you can also get a 65C; more info on the size/number chart is linked in the information. BUY FROM LEERBURG For Dog Trainers ‘M9/M10’ (WORLDWIDE) See here for how they size, shipping and wait time info. Also applies to D&T but have never recommended buying from them. What to do for the best outcome: Pick the model (M9/M10) and location you want Pick the size needed (1-30) *drop-down may say ‘I will fill my dog's measurements’, click that to select size.* Please do NOT give them any information like measurements, breed, size or age. They WILL size wrong and possibly refuse to refund. Using PayPal ensures you have a backup if they 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 returning it. M9= NORMAL WIRE, M10= RUBBERISED USA : M9 Mode l, M10 Model CANADA: M9 Model, M10 Model UK: M9 Model, M10 Model AUS: M9 Model, M10 Model NZ: M9 Model, M10 Model ASIA: M9 Model, M10 Model EUROPE Stores Options are extensive and I highly recommend using google translate and our charts HERE which explain the Chopo sizes/numbers compared to what FDT/Leerburg use (they are the same muzzles just different labelling) CHICUNDSCHARF Chicundscharf is an excellent option for Germany and other EU countries (check with C&S first).

- NOT SAFE/RECOMMENDED | Muzzle Training and Tips
Not Safe/Recommended Comical 'muzzles' like duckbills, scary teeth, nylon muzzles, tight leather muzzles and more are never recommended to use on your dog. There are so many good options for your dog; don't use these instead. WHY THESE ARE NOT RECOMMENDED These muzzles are not recommended for multiple reasons, the most common is they are cheap and made to fit tightly around the snout. Some are not even a muzzle and instead a fancy rope around their face or even just a halti/gentle leader. Duck and pig muzzles may look cute but they are incredibly unsafe for your dog, not only are they too small in height for any pant but they are usually enclosed. Want to stop your dog breathing just to look cute? I wouldn't think so. Tight leather muzzles are the exact same and most do not allow any pant room and if they do they are not bite proof. Mesh muzzle the fully cover the face (for bulldogs) are usually very unsafe to use, especially for short faced dogs that already have breathing issues. Some comical muzzles for Halloween are completely fine for pictures etc, just know what your dog can handle but they should not be used for a functional purpose. We cover vet/soft muzzles HERE , but in general we do not recommend using them and making sure you size your dog correctly instead. Read over the picture descriptions for more information. COMPANIES WE DO NOT RECOMMEND We do not recommend these companies for a few reasons which we will go over. We have nothing against you buying from them as really it is your loos (of hundreds of dollars), but we do not allow people to be told to purchase these below. BUMAS Muzzles Overcharges greatly (medium dog starts at $400AUD) Doesn't fix/help mod Is only popular because of the name LIMUZZ While we agree the concept of 3D printed muzzles are great, NO muzzle (especially plastic) is worth up to $1000AUD (yup, you’re reading that right) If you want to pay crazy amounts for this, then go ahead, but there are so many other options for literally over ten times less. COLLAR DIRECT Collar direct usually found on etsy sells leather muzzles in a few colours, I myself have tried this muzzle and it rusted within 3 uses and they told me it was my fault because it got wet.. with dog slobber. So lost my money and couldn't use as full of rust, there's many other places that sell better options. Load More Back To Top
