the groomer had said she didn't think that was very good for a dog (to be forced to wear a muzzle to be forced in turn to do something it doesn't like).
IMO, you need to find a new groomer. Of course your dog isn't going to see her as an alpha being if she doesn't think dogs should have to do anything they don't like. Please. If we never made our dogs do anything they didn't like, they would at best be completely unmanagable and at worst be dead. And they most certainly would never be bathed or groomed! I think you need to find a groomer with a little more common sense about dogs.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
