Unfortunately, I live in Ireland which has breed specific legisgation requiring 11 breeds of dogs, including GSDs, to wear a muzzle when in public. In practice, they accept halters/head collars as complying with the law. Most people I see around with GSDs don't have anything on them but a collar, but I am enrolling in a training class that won't allow us in the class if we aren't in compliance.
I hate the idea of putting something on my pup's face. He's great walking on a loose lead, so we don't need the extra control of a halter. I just bought an Infin-8 head collar from Black Dog because I read it was better for the dogs alignment than the Halti, but poor Cyrus absolutely hates it.
My question is do you think a muzzle could be less restrictive? I have the halter on as loose as possible but it still really bothers him.
Ugh. I hate this. Luckily we are moving back to the US soon so we won't have this problem.
