@kathleenloveschrist I immediately grabbed his snout and I hit him on the head (not really that hard... No yelping). Than I grabbed his collar and rushed him to the crate and somewhat forcefully hurried him in (again nothing hurtful). I can't speak for everyone, but I admit that since the baby...

@uneze He actually is fine with it. He just kind of loses all his personality when it's on. He just lays down and doesn't want to move or interact or anything. He won't fight me putting it on.

@yeshuasown Very much appreciated the detailed suggestions/tips. I have the basket muzzle and as much as he hates it, it will need to be part of his everyday life whenever he's in the same room as baby.
