Is there a muzzle to use for a short nosed/pug nosed dog to help with barking?

Full Question:
I have a peek that barks at everything. Is there a muzzle to use for a short nosed/pug nosed dogs? I don't want to stop all barking because I may need the warning if something is truly wrong. Just don't want constant barking.

I don't recommend a muzzle for barking. If the muzzle is tight enough to restrict barking it's probably a health hazard for the dog, especially a pug nosed dog. They can overheat if you prohibit their ability to open their mouth.

I would instead use a bark collar at times you do not want barking and leave it off the rest of the time.

Thank you. I figured as much. They pant a lot and do over heat easily.
