Sometimes you just need a bit of spray cheese! 🥰🐶
Yummy snacks are a great way to help a dog focus on positive emotions rather than their elevated FAS (fear, anxiety, and stress).
I was lucky enough to spend the last few days training and helping out NMDR in Missouri. My visit concluded with a transport, and this is one of the mill dogs who came in. He was pretty scared, but the cheese helped him feel a bit better! 🧀😍
➡️ NMDR’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome discarded breeding dogs and to educate the general public about the cruel realities of the commercial dog breeding industry. I always love working with them. Excited to share more about this visit- but first, a conference!

How many reasons can YOU think of that a dog might wear a muzzle? 👀🤔
We can think of a few…
They like to eat trash. Or poop💩😂
They think that squirrel looks like a snack.
They get a littleeee too excited when they play😅
Other dogs make them nervous.
The vet or groomer are scary.
They’re still learning how to navigate the world safely.
Their person simply knows an extra layer of safety is a good idea.
There are so many reasons a dog might wear a muzzle — and the muzzle alone doesn’t tell you why. A well-fitted basket muzzle gives dogs room to pant, drink, take treats, explore, and keep doing dog things — safely 🥰🎉
Want to learn more? Check out the muzzle resources on our website. We have sizing guides and a wide selection of basket muzzles and straps. You can even mix & match the colors 😍💙
How many more reasons can you think of? 👇
Not all dogs present as soft and social. What should we do in those situations?🤔
This is a great example of a dog who was more reserved. We don’t want to force the dog to do anything, but we also want to be safe and efficiently accomplish our goal (vaccinating).💉🐶
➡️Some changes I would have made here:
-turn body more to the side
-slow down
-more under the mouth than on the nose
-incorporate snacks
Less can be more!
Ps that is our Praetorian Pro glove in action. 10/10 recommend!
Your muzzle, your colors. 🎨
New in the shop: Muzzle Movement head straps!
Head straps are an optional third point of stabilization for dogs who benefit from a little extra security. So they are functional… and pretty 🥰
Black is our standard stocked option, with custom BioThane colors available to mix, match, or coordinate with your muzzle. 💙🩷💜🧡
Because apparently the accessories need to match too. 💅
Shop head straps now at Humane Innovations.

Taking a quick break from our more exciting videos for a little announcement 👀
We are hitting the road for the next few weeks!
If you’re going to any of these conferences, be sure to stop by our booth. We’d love to show you our products, chat about training offerings, or just say hi!
When you hear TNVR (trap-neuter-vaccinate-return), you might picture cats. But did you know TNVR is also for dogs? 🤔
There are at least 600 million free-roaming dogs worldwide. 🐕🌏
75% of all dogs are free-roaming.
And when dogs roam freely, sad things can happen. They have litter after litter of puppies born to the same fate. They get infested with ticks, fleas, mange. They catch and spread preventable diseases (including rabies). They get hit by cars or can be treated poorly by humans.🥲😭
In many countries, mass culls have been a go-to form of dog population management. But this doesn’t work. It actually expands the population over time.
TNVR is the best way to sustainably and humanely stabilize and reduce free-roaming dog populations and prevent the spread of preventable disease.❤️
Safe & effective handling requires careful assessment of the dog’s temperament🐶🤔
I could tell this guy enjoyed pets, so I gave him a little extra love after his vaccine. He stuck around to hang out after, so I think it was a good experience!🥰💉
Why were we vaccinating dogs in rural Nepal?
To save red pandas, of course!
Feeling grateful for an amazing trip with Red Panda Network ❤️🏔️✈️
At the end of our training in rural Nepal, we traveled to an even more remote location to vaccinate some dogs. The temple & village weren’t accessible by car, so some hiking was involved 🏔️🏔️
This trip has been nothing short of incredible.
Also definitely highlighted the importance of having flexible, reliable, & portable equipment when you’ve got to carry it up a mountain!
Helping dogs 💉🐶 ➡️ Helping red pandas ❤️🏔️
Here’s a quick clip of us vaccinating a street dog in rural Nepal 📍🏔️
I teach people to use the most humane, safe, and effective handling possible. We don’t want to stress the dog out unnecessarily 🐶
Here we used one of our Rescue Pro Leashes to secure the dog. I felt comfortable enough to just pet this guy while gently holding him during the vaccination 💉 the handling gloves definitely help me feel more confident, too. If he decided to nip, I would have been protected.
Pro tip: cover their eyes! This reduces stress significantly.
Stay tuned for some more clips from this incredible trip 🥰
How to vaccinate free-roaming dogs at an extremely rural temple in Nepal? BISCUITS 🥰
It’s always so much easier to work with dogs when they choose to work with you. These guys were already vaccinated by us - but they stuck around for more biscuits, even after being poked 😂
We are far, far ahead off the beaten path. Getting here required multiple planes, ten hours in a car on the sketchiest roads I’ve seen, then yet another car ride.. and a hike 😂
WHY? To vaccinate free-roaming dogs and get a better understanding of how to control their population.🐶💉
Why? To prevent the spread of distemper virus - and protect red pandas.❤️
Stay tuned for a video of our hike to this little village. It was beautiful 🏔️🏔️🏔️
