Pet Professional Guild Announces Corporate Partnership with The Muzzle Movement
The Floridant/10290112

THE VILLAGES, Fla. - Floridant -- The  Pet Professional Guild (PPG) has announced a new corporate partnership with The Muzzle Movement.

Inspired by a special dog named Ptolemy (Tolly, for short), The Muzzle Movement was founded by Clara Hewson in April 2022 with the mission to shake up the outdated muzzle market and change the public perception of muzzled dogs by designing good-looking, ethical muzzles that meet the needs of the dogs wearing them, allowing them to easily and comfortably pant, drink and receive food reinforcers.

"For a long time, a stigma has been associated with putting a muzzle on a dog for both trainers and their owners, said Niki Tudge, founder and president of the Pet Professional Guild. "This has prevented or discouraged dog owners from embracing their use in many circumstances. I love that The Muzzle Movement is making muzzles fun. As they communicate via their website, muzzles should not only fit correctly but also feel good: 'Dogs wearing muzzles shouldn't live restricted lives or miss out on all the doggy things they can do without one.' The Muzzle movement promotes muzzles that are empowering, hardwearing, and comfortable. The designs are colorful and fun. Their muzzles have a purpose-built treat hole, so it's easy and fun to continue positive reinforcement training while your dog is wearing a muzzle. It's fabulous for all concerned!"
