"Field of Dreams - Dubuque Iowa"

Submitted by Gracie Parker

This is Moose! He was a rescue dog from a large county shelter I work at. He struggled with severe dog aggression and people reactivity. He excelled in dock diving despite his challenges and became the 2025 3rd place tier 5 Big Air World Champion. He sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in December 2025 at 3 years old. Rest Easy my lil fire child ????

"Australian Cattle Dog and Labrador Retriever"

Submitted by Louise Yates

Seamus the Australian Cattle Dog and Fly the Labrador Retriever. Purchased the first Leerburg muzzle in 2024. They are both muzzle trained so the muzzle is not a big deal for them. I use it preventatively at veterinary visits, which my veterinarian has acknowledged and truly appreciates. In case of emergency, one muzzle is stored at home and the other in my vehicle.

"Atlas Vom Der Goldstadt"

Submitted by Mikhail Levit

While Atlas is very well behaved and does not wear his Leerburg muzzle on his day-to-day adventures, we decided to muzzle train him at an early age. As a working line German Shepherd Dog he enjoys training sessions and does very well during vet visits and in different environments in public, but the reasoning was to be prepared for the unexpected such as an injury or any serious emergency situation hence the new gear and a new skill.

"Jax"

Submitted by Badger

Jax is a Belgian Malinois, I adopted him a few months ago. He was sold as an explosives detection dog by a trainer who sells working K9s. He was returned because he was too strong willed for his previous handler. I'm planning to do IGP with him in the future. He tends to be reactive to other dogs, so the muzzle has been essential to integrating him safely into my pack of four other dogs.

"Seamus (2)"

Submitted by TJ Lamping

Seamus is a 5 year old Lab/Leonberger mix who struggles with severe reactivity and impulse control. His Leerburg muzzle, along with the right training, allows him to enjoy whatever adventure life brings his way.

Ringo is a 4 1/2 year old Dutch Herder (dutch shepherd/Belgian Malinois). He is reactive to strangers and new dogs with out proper introduction. He wears his leerburg basket muzzle to keep him and others safe.

"Ikaroz the CP; in Size 65C"

Submitted by Alizé CARTER

Ikaroz is a Canis Panther, a PBM. We have been using it for at least a month now, our first official muzzle. Ikaroz is working on safe play with other dogs as overstimulation can lead to injury. To encourage less mouthy behavior, a muzzle is the perfect tool. In the past year, Ikaroz has worked on reactivity from getting attacked as a pup, so we take things slow, but steady!

"Safe Summer Vibes "

Submitted by Dr Mark Sorrentino

Mr. Big enjoying some time at the park in his muzzle. Big wears his muzzle because he’s not a fan of dogs with Big Dog Energy especially if they are off leash!

"The Quiet Protector"

Submitted by Dawn Hoyt

"Elegance in Control"

Submitted by Dawn Hoyt

Riley is a spirited and loyal 5?year?old German Shepherd. Because she can be a bit reactive around other animals, she wears a Leerburg muzzle when we’re out exploring—helping her stay confident, safe, and fully able to enjoy the world around her.

"Muzzle-trained dogs are good dogs!"

Submitted by Wolfie

I muzzle trained Wolfie to help him navigate stressful situations safely and confidently. As a German Shepherd, he can look intimidating, and people are sometimes hesitant to handle him simply because of his breed. He also does not like unfamiliar dogs rushing toward him, especially when he is on a leash, which can make tight spaces like vet waiting rooms difficult. His muzzle is a precaution, not a punishment — it gives everyone peace of mind and helps me advocate for him responsibly.

"Ronan"

Submitted by Rebecca Styer

Ronan was my foster dog through the Dunn County Humane Society. He had skin cancer (hence the pajamas), as well as some behavioral issues that worsened as the cancer progressed. The staff at Leerburg (specifically Sharon) had a huge roll in prolonging his life by helping manage his behavioral issues and helping us find the correct muzzle for him. I will forever be grateful.
