They didn't work for me. I have two beagles and the one strap kept riding up over their eyeballs. I ended up donating them to the SPCA where I volunteer. I use the Gentle Leader and it works much better for my two dogs but it does nothing for nipping - only pulling on the leash. Good Luck!

Not really, although you can try pulling your dog's nose down all of the time instructing him that he is a bad dog for the nipping. My pup just began the same bad habit, and I do not use the halter to stop him, because he Does not nip when he is wearing the halter/collar, as he knows that when it is time to work for me. He is being trained to be my Service Dog, but when all is off, he wants to show his affection by nipping, but this will pass with consistancy on letting him know he is bad for nipping, and try to turn his attention elsewhere. Don't know if this help, but no, I don't believe it will help curtail the nipping.

I got really good results walking my pulling dog . She seemed to want to behave with that on. Not sure about nipping.

No. As you can see in the picture, the dog's mouth is open. It's made for keeping the dog from pulling when walking on a leash. It didn't even work for that. My dog refused to move while wearing it. My dog nips, too, so I bought a cheap muzzle, but never had the heart to try it on her since the head halter upset her so. Learn how to teach the dog not to nip. Takes time and patience, but better in the long run. Dehydrated beef lung is an irresistible treat that will distract the dog away from the nippee.

I would not use this product to keep a dog from nipping. This product does an amazing job keeping both my dogs from pulling, however they are still able to open their "mouths" widely.

This device does not cover or control the mouth of the dog, so I don't think it would prevent nipping. Instead it discourages the dog from pulling ahead on the leash.

I guess it could be used for this purpose, but I really would NOT recommend it! First of all, the taste is very strong and the formula may be bad for your dog. I certainly wouldn't use this to discourage my dog! Just try and give your dog something to distract them.

I'd say yes...just be careful on not pulling it too hard or do it to close to his skin so it is not uncomfortable. I am not familiar with dogs, but I would just keep an eye and if he/she shows a bit distressed just remove, no need to make him/her uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

I would try it and different sizes in a pet store that can sell what doesn't fit to someone else, or I would type custom made muzzles in google. I love the Baskerville muzzle and use it with clicker training, we fix almost all types of aggression this way! Be a use they can eat and drink through it, some don't fit well but it's a small price to pay instead of a bite :)

I would not recommend it. Nipped ends turn brown & arent healthy looking. It wont kill it...persay.....but it wont change color for you.

No reason why not. I know it can be hard to get a jack russell to sit still but my dog is pretty jumpy and she'll at least let me give her a once over every few days and that really cuts down on the hair on furniture and clothes. She seems to enjoy it. And it's wildly more effective than the coat-plucking method. Been there.

Some dogs have a very dominant nature. Sometimes with this they will resist some of the training. Wearing gloves will help protect you from nipping and biting.

Try not to force, as its new and the dog is scared. Assure he or she its okay. Speak gently and just place on nose for a few seconds. My dog didn't like it, but I believe realized it was doing some good. She somewhat relaxed about it an allowed me to, but when she backed away, I let her. Didn't want to force her. My dog had chronic bronchitis and heart disease. She fought for three months and passed. I wish u luck.

Probably not. I learned a trick from a trainer: whenever a dog jumps at you, hold his both paws longer than he is comfortable with, say... a minute. Dogs don't like to be constrained. After some jumps, they associate jumping with being held still by the paws, and stop doing it. If does not work, I would ask a trainer, or a vet. SPCA has great free suggestions for training dogs out of bad habits. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

I returned it. My dog could still get to the spot he wasn't supposed to lick. It is not good for dogs with pointed snouts in my opinion. I found a cloth, padded elizabethan collar that worked much better. Good luck.

I would think so. My puppy has outgrown it, but I don't remember it being that long. It would be worth it even if you have to tie a knot at the top.

could be - we use it with larger dogs like pointers or Deutsch Drahthaar. They dont love it in the beginning, trying to shake it off, but then get used to it. Would be worth trying

Yes, she will probably enjoy all the little nibblers on it rubbing her gums. :) watch for crazy drool :)

If it were my puppy, I wouldn't put anything in that the dog might choke on. Why not ask the breeder what s/he recommends.

It works great for that. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog, same issue. Doesn't seem to bother her at all.

it might help keep your yorkie from nipping on people. Ours seemed to work the first week and then our dog got used to it and it doesn't seem to be a factor anymore.
