Abstract
A combination collar and muzzle is used as a humane method of restraining, controlling, and achieving obedient behavior of animals, dogs in particular. A collar member or loop encircles the neck immediately behind the ears, and a second muzzle loop encircles the upper and lower jaws of the animal to form a type of a figure eight combination collar and muzzle. The two loops are coupled together with a ring behind the jaw. The muzzle loop is adjustable in length. An optional adjustable keeper strap is connected between the collar loop and the muzzle loop to retain the muzzle loop from being pawed off.
