One of my favourite treats to use for the dogs when muzzled is pouches of baby food. It fits super easy between the muzzle, it doesn’t matter if they chomp it up because it is cheap and disposable. They’ve never managed to chomp it though and you can buy eco-friendly refillable ones. You can get different flavours and these guys see it as super high value human food. You can buy gluten/lactose/corn free ones but you do need to check the ingredients to make sure they’re safe. Kelda likes fish pie, Pod prefers lamb hotpot 🙂 

It really helps reactivity because Pods usual tactic is take treat, chew at super-dog pace, swallow/choke it down and begin to react. Whereas with this he doesn’t finish, he keeps licking like and by the time i remove it the dog has gone. 

This is pretty much what I just got (a refillable one!)
Thankfully I don’t have to worry about flavors bc my boys love applesauce. Gonna make mango puree next!
Also planning on using it in new York and refilling it with smoothies. Or nice cream.

Also trying to figure out how to get the canned zignature to squeeze out of it.

Oh, going to give this a go. I tried with a syringe but I just made a mess.

This is a really great technique. 

A warning, though – don’t try it outside of the muzzle unless you have a very good idea of the intensity with which your dog takes high value treats. I misjudged that once and lost a chunk of skin to a wayward tooth as the dog attempted to engulf the entire packet at once.
