I usually hold Kai's muzzle because he won't stay put if I don't hold him...and holding it could help with him being more submissive to me. I try to get eye contact because I've realized that he hates that. He tries to avoid looking at my eyes but I just move his head until he looks at me. I can tell he's really uncomfertable..but once it's all done, he stays quiet for a bit then is back to his naughty self within minutes.
