“Dogs wear muzzles because they bite.” Hard disagree - we're not alone in this, right? ✋ It doesn't mean a dog bites just because they're wearing a muzzle. Many dog guardians use muzzles as a preventative measure... a measure that can keep their dog, other dogs and humans safe.  Also, there are many people who choose to muzzle their dogs due to the extra consideration other people and dog guardians give them - often preventing bites by simply sending a clear signal to others that space is needed. Consider this: Waiting for a dog to bite before introducing a muzzle… is sometimes too late. Dogs shouldn’t have to bite to ‘qualify’ for a muzzle! Introducing a muzzle BEFORE a dog bites is the responsible thing to do. There's so much judgement when muzzling a dog that ‘hasn’t even bitten’ and that’s contributing to the number of dogs that have successfully bitten - if a muzzle was introduced earlier we might have been able to avoid a bite, potentially saving a life!
