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.

Building a Meaningful Partnership: The Muzzle Movement + Birmingham Dogs Home:
At The Muzzle Movement, everything we do is rooted in one simple belief: dogs deserve understanding, safety, and the chance to thrive. That’s why our partnership with Birmingham Dogs Home, one of the UK’s leading dog rescue and rehoming organisations, is so important to us.
Together, we’re supporting dog rescue in Birmingham, dog adoption, and muzzle training for rescue dogs, helping improve welfare and give more dogs the best possible start in their new homes.
About Birmingham Dogs Home
Birmingham Dogs Home (BDH) has been at the heart of the community for generations, providing care, rehabilitation, and second chances to dogs in need. With centres in Birmingham and Wolverhampton, they play a vital role in the West Midlands dog rescue community.
Their team works tirelessly to rescue, care for, and rehome dogs—supporting not only the animals themselves, but the people who adopt them. Their impact goes beyond rehoming, offering guidance, education, and ongoing support to adopters.
If you’re looking for dog adoption in Birmingham, Birmingham Dogs Home is one of the most trusted places to start.
Supporting Dog Rescue through Muzzle Training
Our journey together began in May 2025 with a simple donation, a muzzle for a dog in their care. What started as a small gesture quickly grew into a shared mission: improving welfare through muzzle training for rescue dogs.
Since then, we’ve delivered four educational sessions across their Birmingham and Wolverhampton centres. These focused on:
• Proper muzzle fit, use and positive muzzle training techniques
• Supporting adopters with confidence and education
We also carried out fittings for dogs within the rescue and donated muzzles to support their ongoing work.
Supporting Dog Adoption in Birmingham
A key part of this partnership is supporting sustainable income for the rescue while improving outcomes for adopted dogs.
- • Birmingham Dogs Home is now an official stockist of our muzzles.
- • Through their rescue trade account, they receive the highest discount we offer on trade stock.
- • As affiliates, adopters receive 10% off our website, while BDH receives 10% commission, creating a sustainable income stream that supports the rescue’s ongoing work.
- • Even more importantly, Adopters can purchase muzzles their dog is already familiar with.
This creates a better transition for dogs moving into new homes, reducing stress and supporting successful dog adoption outcomes.
Charity Muzzles Supporting Rescue Dogs
We also created dedicated charity colour muzzles in Birmingham Dogs Home’s colours, Teal with Amethyst strapping.
💜 What Makes It Special
This is our first ever Charity Colour Muzzle, created to represent and support Birmingham Dogs Home.
✨ For every 5 Charity Colour Muzzles purchased, we will donate a muzzle directly to the charity.
The Birmingham Dogs Home edition features:
- 🧺 Teal Basket
- 🎨 Amethyst Purple Strapping
- ⚙️ Nickel Hardware
These colours were chosen to reflect the branding of this incredible charity.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
What makes this collaboration so special is how naturally it has grown from a single donation into a multi-layered partnership that supports dogs, adopters, and the wider community. Birmingham Dogs Home continues to do incredible work every day, and we’re proud to stand alongside them, providing tools, training, and ongoing support that helps both their team and their dogs thrive. Looking Ahead
This is exactly the kind of partnership we want to build with rescues across the UK and beyond.
If you’re part of a rescue and want to: Improve welfare through better-fitting muzzles Offer professional fitting services to your community Create new income streams to support your work Help change the perception of muzzles
We’d love to hear from you.
And if you’d like to support Birmingham Dogs Home directly, you can do so by purchasing one of our charity colour muzzles, helping us continue to give back, one dog at a time.
Together, we can make muzzles normal, positive, and accessible for every dog who needs one.
