Muzzling your hound

8 Upvotes

Hi all, due to a very horrible and unfortunate incident of my dog reacting badly to someone, we have no choice but to muzzle him as a last resort, to keep others safe. (We also have training booked with a specialist clinical trainer to help with underlying issues)
I know it’s the right thing to do but I am really upset about this, as I know that no matter how much muzzle training I do, he is going to hate it. Like all hounds, he is stubborn and wants to do things HIS way. I feel so sad that he won’t enjoy walks like he used to. I would appreciate it if anyone with a muzzled hound can drop any tips and also pics of your muzzled pooches. I am following a training regime to get him used to the muzzle but we all know hounds are different to other dogs 🤣Thank you all!

My 2 hound/ridgeback/greyhound/who knows mixed boys are twins except George is MUCH bigger than Gerry.
George is 68lb and Gerry is around 46lb. I adopted them 1 year apart after we found out George had siblings, was struggling w anxiety and needed a friend. They truly are perfect for each other and get along so well.
I am just so confused how 2 dogs from the same litter can be vastly different sizes like this. Height wise George is to my lower hip and Gerry is right above my knee.

Also! What mix do yall think they are? Personality is very happy, sniff around all the time, sleep almost all day, and very mouthy. They love to run and George is pretty defensive/scared of everything. VERY STUBBORN.

I’m training both to do different service dog tasks bc of how smart they are and easy they catch on. Would love some tips on scent detection. I also want to do canicross with George, I don’t know where to get a harness, or if Texas has events like that tho.

Just a couple failed hunting dogs…

Both full Treeing Walker according to embark. Best dogs we’ve ever had. Both rescued as adults. They pee in the house, howl at sirens, and can’t chase nothin’ except their dinner bowl and princess treatment.

I think I’m preaching to the choir here, but are hound dogs the best pups you’ve ever had?!

Do you have a stalker or a chaser?

Please excuse the shakiness of the camera, I have tremors. I had never seen a dog do this before her. Every other dog I’ve had would have sprinted for it and scared it immediately. So far the closest she’s gotten to her “prey” was probably 10 feet. I wish I could let her off her leash so she could do her thing. Hounds are so cool.

This is my drever or swedish dachsbracke.

We have shot over 50 whitetail deers from his drives.

My hounds love to hunt. They’ve killed squirrels, birds, rabbits and Tootie (pictured) has killed 8 mice. Do you ever get grief because your hounds kill their prey?

Any other PBGV owners? Tips? This is Merlot 😄

Say hi to Merlot!

She has been an amazing dog (other than some stubborness as they are known for).

She gets along so well with our 4 month old, and is actually not much of a barker/howler at all which was very surprising!

She is such a happy dog, loves to play with other dogs and people all the time.

Only a couple things we are still struggling with her - pulling on walks, and occasional accidents still indoors (she should be better by 2 yrs now? I wonder if it is just with all the baby smells and new routines).

Would be great to see other PBGVs or GBGVs, how your experiences have been, or any tips you have!

Mr. Finn the bassador (otherwise known as Sir Snoozalot) refuses to come downstairs in the morning until he hears: 1) food being put into his bowl; and 2) my breakfast coming out of the microwave. Guess whose breakfast he’s more interested in? Just curious to see if anyone else’s bassets prioritize food or comfort in the morning!

Guys I left this community when my best friend Amos passed 3 years ago, it was just too hard to see all the awesome hounds and people enjoying #houndlife :) I heard someone calling out that name today, side note I didn't realize kids were still named Amos these days, and I didn't really have anyone else to share. Sadness yes, but also I got to flip through some photos and remember what an amazing, annoying dude I got to spend time with. Hope everyone gives their pup an extra hug today for me

Finally a DNA test

Ellie the hound that I asked thoughts on her hound mix months ago… Finally got her an embark test. Here are the results (at the end) It all makes sense. Next is to do follow up with vet as to why she isn’t putting much weight on. I don’t like that her spine is still visable. She has settled in and has been loving this new life of hers. It’s hot where we live, but we have been working on recall. Can’t wait to see her hunt with her new pack that she has settled into nicely.

This is Cooper our foster fail. All we knew is that he was a hound mix. Everyone asked us if he was part greyhound but he is wayyyyy to sent driven to be a sight hound. His DNA results were fun to go through! I really thought he would be a fox hound.

He is just the best guy! So playful and loving. Loves a good snuggle. 🥰
