What sport would be good for Muzzled dog?

**king2005** · 04-10-2006, 02:23 PM

I've always enjoyed dog sports. But because of the Pit Bull Ban I cannot play frisbee or teach Cyrus to jump WAY out into the water. So I was thinking about doing those Towing matches. Do they harm the dog? I know the dog will only do it if he wants to, I just want some options I can do with a muzzled dog. He needs a sport as hes stupid hyper & running about isn't cutting it for him. The sport will also teach him dissaplin, hes a good dog, just hyper to the point he can't sit still (I swear hes on crack!).

Cyrus is a VERY powerful dog & quite fast too. I know hes smart & really starting to respect me. To get anything from me he has to sit & be alert, & he's learning that I get upset when he jumps up on me, but I love him when hes sitting & stairing at me. This stupid Ban is Ruining my first chance to Really work with a smart, fast & powerful dog.

Any help would be great

weight pull sounds good as long as he can breath properly. Do you have a muzzle that is like this?

He has one of those crappy nylon ones. I want to get him a better one so I can do things with him.. The wire muzzle is the kind I want, but I want the larger size (the one where he can almost yawn in).. But I have NO idea where to get one of those & I don't know their proper name & have never seen one in a store (only on Police Dog shows.)

This one is so close to what I want (found it on the site you got the image from), I live the padding & the area to attack the muzzle to a collar/harness.

Now I jjust need a price.

Doesn't this dog belong to your landlady? How does she feel about
you training her dog?

??? as to what sports...

but a helpful tip to pass on....Spray cheese (like Cheese Whiz) is an easy treat to give a muzzled dog. Just put nozzle through wire and give him a squirt!

Yes & she said I can do what I please with him. Shes already changed SOO many things that I brought up & she LOVES the help. Cyrus is her first dog & not many of her friends are dog people so its not easy for her.
