Hi guys

My female Great Dane constantly paws at her muzzle whenever we're out for a walk.

She even goes as far as lying down on the ground to try and get it off; I'm really worried she's going to hurt her nose on the pavement!

What's worse is that she's already nearly poked her eyes with her claws while trying to pull the muzzle away.

Please give me some advice, thanks!

Wolfman: I use a muzzle because my dog doesn't like people; it feels like she’s being overprotective of me. She can be quite intimidating to others, so I use the muzzle to put people at ease. It also stops her from barking at everyone. Braindamage: I think it's a socialisation issue, and I'd really like to change that. PS: I’ve got enough of an income to feed her well and all that, but I can't afford to see a behaviourist. So, I’m looking for some advice so I can take charge and train her myself. Thanks.
