I'm writing this review because I've recently tried out a couple basket muzzles for our Saint that has recently shown some aggressiveness. Muzzles, in general, have a mixed bag of fans/critics. However, when you have a 150 pound dog you really don't want to bite anyone (and shows somewhat of a desire) it's a no brainer.
I tried one of the metal basket muzzles first. It was one of the more expensive ones on Amazon so I assumed it was "better". Our pooch really wouldn't warm up to it. Not to mention it just looked cumbersome and awkward. I'm sure it was effective..imagine putting a steel bird-cage around a dog's muzzle..no way they are going to bite. But, let's just say, it would take some getting use to for both the animal and the human.
OK back to the focus on the Baskerville. Even though I measured snout length/diameter carefully I decided to purchase both the 5 and 6. Because his measurements were in between. Glad I did. I tried the 6 on him first and it was near perfect. The 5 I couldn't even get around his face. So, there is a tremendous difference between the sizes imo. Amazon was kind enough to accept the size 5 back.
We fed him treats through the unattached muzzle a few times before we actually strapped it around his head. This is a standard for muzzle-training from what my "internet sources" have suggeted.. He had no problems wearing it and soon as I strapped it on him. It went on easily. I gave him some jerky treats through the bottom slot. No problem for him to eat them.
We kept it on for about 2 minutes the first time. Second time was 5 minutes. He did try to scrape it off once, but didn't really "appear" to be stressed by it in anyway. And I can say that the scraping with his big bear-like paws didn't even stretch the leather and the muzzle held firmly in place.
I'm fairly confident he'll adapt to the point I can take him on long hikes in the woods, which he loves, with the muzzle on. Just going to build up gradually.
I'm leading in with perfect scores because of the initial ease to acclimate. Thought it was going to be much more difficult.
Functionally I've not really had the opportunity to "run it through the rigors". Which, I hope I don't have to. Our boy obeys pretty good, but the muzzle is just that worst case scenario failsafe. Anyway, this is my initial assessment of the Baskerville Ultra Muzzle.

From the manufacturer
Why Choose a Muzzle?
Dogs wear muzzles for many reasons; from the traditional management of aggressive behaviour or travelling on public transport, through to safe handling at the vet or preventing wildlife scavenging.
Whatever the reason, it is important that the dog is happy and secure wearing a muzzle at all times. This is particularly important if the muzzle is used for longer periods, such as when out walking or to stop a dog from licking a wound.
Additionally, if a muzzle is being used to enable retraining, it should also allow for positive reward treating while retraining is taking place.
Fitting Tips
Width: Measure the circumference of the dogs muzzle, taken at the widest point, allowing another half an inch for movement.
Length: Measure the length of the nose, from the base of the nose just underneath the eyes down to the tip, allowing approximately a quarter of an inch to avoid the muzzle pressing right up against your dogs nose.
Additionally, to get a better fit, the Baskerville Ultra Muzzle can be molded to fit by warming in hot water, then cooling in cold to create a broader or narrower muzzle as required.

Perfect Muzzle For My Reactive Dog
I own a reactive dog. He has a high prey drive. He tends to bark and lunge at dogs and small animals such as cats and squirrels. I have been conditioning him to this muzzle by smearing peanut butter inside the muzzle. We do multiple ten minute sessions per day. He is now comfortable enough with the muzzle to start going on public walks wearing it. He loves it because when I put it on him he knows we’re going for a walk. Overall, I have had a positive experience with this muzzle and I would recommend it to any dog owner.For those wondering I have a Male Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Size 3 is perfect for him because he has more than enough pant room.
