Brianah, I thought I read somewhere that you have aggression issues with your Weim? Even though you may do your best to manage your dog, other people are always a variable in that equation. For example, I *know* I can handle Logan unsedated without a muzzle and can have a vet draw blood without any conflict as long as only I am handling him. However, I also know that I though I am careful to instruct them on what to do, it doesn't mean they will perform perfectly, either out of fear or may not take me seriously enough or they think its a better idea to have more than one vet tech present in the room. Therefor, a jafco muzzle with a third strap is what I use.
The conditioning one makes it easier to deliver treats, plus there is slightly more ventilation I guess. I would definitely condition the dog to wearing it for an extended period, plus maybe you could teach her to drink with it on too if she might have to during the trip. You might also want her to be comfortable using the bathroom with it on as well.
I dont want to confuse anybody. I am going on a trip with my dog. "Dogs must be muzzled and leashed or not go." Temperament, training, or background of the dog has no say in the matter.
I do not own a muzzle for my weim in particular. Sure, i have mesh ones in different sizes. But it seems like the dogs need the muzzle on the entire time in certain places in public. So that means i need her to be able to pant while i take her out. It will be warm out!
I do not plan on going on anymore trips like this anytime soon. So im hoping not to spend a fortune on a muzzle thats going to be used maybe 3 days.
To tell you the truth theres a very high chance she wont even be putting the thing on. Lately she has been limpy, she is old. So i doubt she will be leaving the LARGE private property for her potty breaks and walks. But again, god forbid we are going out with the dogs, the law is muzzle and leash.

Well if that's the sole reason, then the best one would be a wire basket muzzle...I think LB has them...you can all them and ask for help with the measuring I think.
A tired dog is a good dog, a trained dog is a better dog.

A muzzle is still a handy thing to have around.
If you have a grooming supply place near you they often carry a bunch of types of muzzles. I'm lucky enough to live close to a grooming wholesaler that allows leashed dogs in the warehouse. I still had to punch extra holes in the strap but they carried a cheap plastic Boxer muzzle that fits my boy fairly well.
Tanner didn't fit any of the Baskerville muzzles either.

This might be another good place to remind new dog owners that the Velcro 'muzzles" the vet uses are NOT appropriate for the uses described here, or for anything but the briefest of procedures.
