Greyhounds do not have to be muzzled in public, they are muzzles when racing to stop them tearing in to each other.

I was actually looking for suggestions as to what could have been done with this dog as an alternitive to an e-collar, as it is very well protesting that under no circumstances should they ever be used, but a viable alternitive needs to be offered..

As stated in my previous post food, no chance, does not compare to the reward of grab - kill bite. a dog in prey drive doesn't eat, not till after its killed.

a check on the lead perhaps, on a flat collar or head collar, you would have to be mighty strong, and timing impecable or you would have another dead animal, it may also agitate the dog driving on the behaviour.

so a check chain or pinch collar, as above really.

Even if the dog was perminently muzzled, for the rest of its life, it could still kill a small animal quite easily, I once witnessed a muzzled male greyhoud, flick a boxer under the stomach and on the its back it then went into the abdomen for the kill, it was muzzled it couldn't do it, but it could easily have killed a cat or smsll dog with the same action.

If there had been no e-collar, it would have gone back to the rescue centre or the great greyhound heaven in the sky.
