Hi all,
I'm new here I'm a new mum to Gryffindor - a 4yo tri colour Aussie Shepherd (I think - he is a rescue, paperwork says he is a border collie, but everyone who has Aussies is adamant he is an Aussie!).
I'm new to fur babies of the dog variety - we always had dogs growing up, but Gryff is my first dog as an adult. I've navigated the various steps of dog ownership - castration, updating microchip, registration, obedience school, flea/tick meds etc etc.
I'd like to be able to take my pup with my on the train when I travel, and here in Victoria it seems you can, as long as they have a muzzle on. This is not something I have *any* experience in Whilst he is a big dog, he hasn't shown any signs of aggression in the 3 months I've had him, so if I get a muzzle, it will purely be for whilst we travel on the train, it won't be something he is wearing regularly (train travel is infrequent, maybe once every two months). I understand why this rule is in place, and I am happy to follow it, but Gryff is such a happy fellow, I don't want people to be afraid of him (he would sulk something shocking if 10 minutes go by without a pat!), so I'm hoping to find something inconspicuous. Any recommendations?
