![]() ![]() The American Kennel Club’s official stance on muzzles is that, while they shouldn’t be used all the time, they can protect your dog and those around you in specific circumstances. Muzzling your dog might seem cruel or brutal, but it’s often what keeps a challenging situation from turning into a dangerous one. ![]() It’s for this reason that many owners choose to muzzle their greyhounds in situations that they know will cause anxiety-such as the vet’s office, grooming sessions, or even just a walk outside. When terrified, a greyhound’s first instinct may be to bite or snap at the perceived threat. Even if they aren’t intentionally aggressive, anxiety tends to be a bigger issue in greyhounds-especially current or retired race dogs. However, because they tend to be easygoing, some owners may overestimate their greyhound’s patience. ![]() Unless they’re provoked, it’s unusual for these dogs to growl, snarl or snap at others. As far as aggression goes, greyhounds aren’t typically a temperamental breed. Today, when greyhounds aren’t winning races, they’re usually snuggled up against their human companions.
