Flexible, Practical Muzzle Support for Force-Free Rescue Organisations
At The Muzzle Movement, canine rescue work isn’t just something we support, it’s part of our DNA. Our team includes experienced rescue professionals, from kennel staff and dog behaviour consultants to rehoming officers and force-free trainers. Together, we bring over 70 years of hands-on experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation.We understand the reality of rescue: long hours, limited resources, emotionally demanding cases and dogs who need expert, compassionate handling.
We’re here to help you make a difference. Whether it’s providing high-quality, comfortable muzzles at the lowest possible cost, empowering your staff with knowledge, or helping your adopters feel confident using a muzzle
we’re here to offer real support that makes a difference.
Force-Free Dog Rescues
🐾 Exclusive Trade Accounts with Maximum Discount
Our Registered Rescue Trade Accounts give you the highest tier of discount we offer - with no minimum order quantity. That means:
• You can order just one muzzle for one specific dog
• You can use your account as and when needed
• You’ll never feel pressured to buy in bulk or stockpile
You’ll have access to our dog muzzles in their gorgeous colours, all with black Biothane Strapping, including new product releases, and can place orders as needed. Perfect for reactive, nervous, or bite-risk dogs coming through your doors, or simply as part of your standard kit.
Some dog rescues also choose to stock & sell muzzles to adopters or fosterers using their trade account. This creates a simple income stream to support your wider work and helps ensure every dog goes home with the right equipment.
We know that every rescue is different, so we keep things flexible. Order what you need, when you need it. No contracts, no catch, and the lowest prices we offer.
Free Educational Sessions for Staff and Volunteers
We're now offering free training sessions tailored specifically to rescue environments, available in-person across the UK or by video call worldwide.
Each session covers:
• The role of muzzles in modern rescue and welfare
• How to fit and adjust The Muzzle Movement designs safely and comfortably
• How to introduce muzzle training positively and at the dog’s pace
• Common challenges with muzzles in rescue settings and how to troubleshoot them
These sessions are open to all staff and volunteers and are completely free of charge. They’re designed to empower your team to feel confident and competent when supporting dogs who wear muzzles, whether temporarily or long-term.
We can also guide you on setting up to offer muzzle fitting sessions within your centres as way to reach your community, and as a possible small income stream for your organisation.
Resources for Adopters, Fosters and the Public
We know you want your dogs and your people to feel prepared and supported. That’s why we offer easy-to-share resources you can provide to adopters, foster carers and supporters, including:
• Muzzle Support Packs written for professionals to hand out to adopters, fosters and supporters as required
• Various free educational resources on our website, including articles on muzzle fit, introducing a muzzle and training information
• You can also sign up to be an affiliate as a rescue which then allows you to offer Discounts for your adopters, commission in store credit for you, as well as completely free professional muzzled dog gallery of over 70 images, plus social media assets and more through our affiliate scheme
If you’re not sure how best to guide new guardians, we’re happy to support directly with guidance or materials.
Why We Do This
Because we’ve been where you are. Because we’ve worked those late shifts. Because we’ve cried over the tough ones. Because we believe rescue dogs deserve safe, kind handling and every opportunity to succeed, including proper muzzle training and because we think the work you’re doing is not only vital, but remarkable.

Annie’s August Round-Up!
August has been one of my busiest months yet, filled with education, connection, and celebration of all things muzzle positive. Here’s a look back at what I’ve been up to:
30th July
Visit to Vets in the Community
I was honoured to be invited to a Vets in the Community clinic, where we donated muzzles and saw first-hand the incredible work these vets and students do to support people and their pets in vulnerable housing.
Vets in the Community was set up in 2012 as a student-run enterprise, offering free routine veterinary care for the pets of homeless and vulnerably housed people in Nottingham. Clinics are staffed by vet students and supervised by qualified vets and nurses, with services ranging from health checks and vaccinations to flea/worm treatment and microchipping.
1st & 11th August Affiliate Support Sessions
We launched our first Affiliate Support evenings, designed to explore all the ways we can empower and connect our affiliates.
It was incredible to share ideas with such an engaged and passionate group of people, all dedicated to improving the lives of muzzled dogs.
4th August
Launch of The Complete Muzzle Training Course
After almost two years of work, we finally launched The Complete Muzzle Training Course! From writing the script and filming with Clara and Becky, to editing and building the course, this project has been a true labour of love supported by the entire TMM team. The course is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for both guardians and professionals, covering everything from choosing a muzzle and understanding motivation, to proofing muzzle-wearing in real-life situations and every step in between.
8 August
Birmingham Dogs Home🎓
I delivered two talks for staff at Birmingham Dogs Home, covering muzzle uses, fit, features, training troubleshooting, and advice. We also ran a muzzle fitting demo with some of the centre’s dogs, and donated muzzles to support their work.
We’re thrilled about exciting partnerships developing with Birmingham Dogs Home… watch this space!
10 August
Holistic Pet Care Conference🎤
I was delighted to be a keynote speaker at the Holistic Pet Care Conference organised by Stephanie Zikkman.
I spoke about:
• How muzzled dogs are safe, not scary
• Why muzzle training should be for every guardian, “just in case”
• The importance of collaboration across professions in canine welfare
This was my first-ever conference speaking slot, and I’m so grateful to the incredible audience for their support and enthusiasm!
11 August
Tug E Nuff Podcast🎙
I recorded an episode of thePositive Playtime Podcastwith Danny from Tug-E-Nuff, due to be released in September.
We discussed enrichment and play for all dogs, including muzzled dogs, how play is central to wellbeing and some muzzled dog myth-busting!
15 August
The Dog Trainer School💻
I gave an educational talk for The Dog Trainer School, which sparked brilliant discussions with passionate trainers.
Many signed up as affiliates and some have already added muzzle training into their class frameworks.
An amazing step forward!
21 August
PACT💻
I hosted an education session for members of PACT, sharing top training tips, exploring muzzle features and fit, and discussing why proactive muzzle training is so important.
The group was really engaged and asked some amazing questions, so it was so exciting to see professional trainers wanting to also offer some amazing support for muzzled dogs and their guardians.
