Muzzles
Jennifer stands by JAFCO muzzles because their quality is unlike that of any other. Not only are their lightweight and durable, but they are specifically designed with extended wear in mind, while maintaining the dogs comfort. Dogs are still able to breathe, pant, bark and more while wearing them. They also offer styles that allow handlers to give their dogs food and treats without taking the muzzle off.

Since Prong Collars have been known to snap and open, we always recommend either using a prong collar leash or this addition which will connect your dogs flat collar to their prong collar. In the event the prong collar snaps, this will help ensure your dog does not get off leash.
