[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 299615, member: 1963"] Steely. If I were you I would, just to be on the safe side, muzzle your dogs. However, nylon muzzles are meant only for short term use like that at the vet or the groomers. They do not allow the dog to open it's mouth at all, and hence it cannot pant to cool itself. A dog, especially one in a hot climate, can overheat within MINUTES if unable to pant. You want high quality viny-coated wire BASKET muzzles that allow the dog to pant while still protecting others from its jaws. Also, be aware that many dogs that are gentle and friendly in the house and yard can become quite aggressive on a leash. The leash cuts their territory down to a very small "bubble" that many will defend viciously. [/QUOTE]
