I encountered a snag yesterday in my efforts at keeping Hudson the Wonder Dog's occasional dog-aggression curbed using a muzzle. She's not wild about wearing it, but tolerates it for the most part, and it has definitely helped prevent scuffles, but with temperatures around here hitting the 80s lately (we have a brush fire alert today - you'd think it was southern California, or something), the muzzle is impeding her ability to properly pant in the heat. I realized this when I saw her running along with her tongue poking out through the end of the muzzle trying to cool off. I guess I'm going to have to keep her on a leash on really hot days.

You can get racing muzzles which have a deeper hollow that allows the mouth to open and the dog to pant but still keeps them from biting other animals.

That's an excellent suggestion - I am looking into that.

And Cutter, you are going to have to stop comparing your experience with German Shepherds to my experience with my Airedale Terrier - these are two breeds that could not be more opposite in terms of trainability.
