Bronze Dog

Bronze Dog is a company dedicated to providing dog owners with high-quality, comfortable muzzles and restraints. Their mission is to empower safe training, management, and rehabilitation of dogs through compassionate tools.

About Bronze Dog

Bronze Dog is a company founded 15 years ago by John Smith, a lifelong dog lover and product design engineer. After adopting his first dog Max, John was frustrated by the lack of high-quality, comfortable muzzles on the market. He set out to create muzzles and restraints for dogs that were both gentle and effective.

In his garage workshop, John developed meticulous prototypes that he tested with local rescue groups. His designs struck a careful balance between providing safety and control while prioritizing the dog’s comfort. With the dog’s experience at the forefront, John’s muzzles aimed to empower dogs rather than simply restrain them.

From these early efforts, Bronze Dog Muzzle was born. Today, Bronze Dog is still led by founder John Smith and run out of its expanded 5000 sq ft US workshop. The company takes pride in hand-crafting each muzzle and collar one-by-one under John’s supervision.

Bronze Dog offers a wide selection of muzzles, halters, collars and accessories to suit different training needs. Their products range from everyday walking muzzles to heavy duty training equipment for police K9s. However, dog comfort and welfare guide every design decision.

Key to their muzzles are features like adjustable fit, padded straps, and rounded edges to avoid injuring dogs. Bronze Dog also refuses to use harsh methods in designing, testing or recommending use of their products.

Through high-quality gear and a dedication to dog-first principles, the Bronze Dog team aims to create products that enable dogs to live happier, healthier lives with their human owners.

Customer Reviews

As a proud new puppy owner, I was looking for safe, comfortable gear to help train my energetic Goldendoodle, Lucy. The trainer I worked with highly recommended Bronze Dog muzzles and halters. I decided to give them a try and I'm so glad I did! The quality of these products is truly unmatched. I ordered a size small nylon muzzle and matching collar and leash set. Everything arrived quickly in very nice packaging. Right away I could tell the muzzle was well-made - the nylon is durable yet soft, the straps are nicely padded, and the edges are all rounded and smoothed. No sharp bits to hurt Lucy! The quick-release buckles make getting the muzzle on and off a breeze during our training sessions. And it fits Lucy's face perfectly without limiting her panting or drinking. I also love the matching purple collar and leash set. The handsome leather looks great on walks while keeping Lucy under control. After just 1 week of consistent muzzle training, Lucy is walking so nicely on leash and learning not to jump on guests. Bronze Dog's gear has been a total game changer for both of us! I highly recommend this brand to all new puppy parents. Worth every penny.

As a veterinary technician, I often handle dogs who get frightened and try to bite during exams. So having properly fitted muzzles on hand is crucial for me and my team's safety. Many brands claim "one size fits all" but in my experience that just doesn't work, especially with brachycephalic breeds. That's why I was thrilled to discover Bronze Dog Muzzle's products. Their muzzles come in a wide variety of sizes and with multiple adjustment points to customize the fit. There are also helpful sizing guides for different breeds. Recently we ordered several of their Italian leather basket muzzles for our veterinary practice. The quality is fantastic - you can tell skilled craftsmanship went into making these. The leather is thick yet supple, the stitching is flawless, and the metal alloy mesh provides security without sharpness. We now use Bronze Dog muzzles every day on dogs who need extra protection during procedures like nail trims and vaccines. They provide safety for all without pain or injury. I won't use or recommend any other brand!

Getting my rescue dog Rex comfortable wearing a muzzle has been so important for managing his reactivity toward strangers and dogs on walks. But most muzzles I tried either injured his snout or limited his breathing too much, making walks miserable for him. On the advice of our trainer, I ordered a custom leather muzzle from Bronze Dog. The online form made it easy to submit Rex's exact measurements. In just 2 weeks we received his custom muzzle - and it fits like an absolute glove! You can really tell it was hand-crafted just for him. The full grain leather is soft and flexible, nicely contouring around his long snout. Rex can pant, drink, and take treats through the muzzle bars no problem. Walks are now safe and relaxing! Rex continues to make great progress behaviorally thanks to Bronze Dog's high-quality gear. I recommend them to any dog owner who needs a muzzle that prioritizes comfort and dog welfare. Their excellent customer service also helps you choose the right product.

As an avid hiker, I wanted to be able to bring my high-energy German Shepherd mix Shelby on trails with me. However, her tendency to jump on and nip at other dogs and people posed a major problem. That's why I turned to Bronze Dog's muzzles and halters to help get Shelby's behavior under control. I purchased one of their heavy-duty rope slip muzzles and a control halter. Fitting both was very intuitive with the detailed instructions. The rope muzzle has a secure but giveable hold that keeps Shelby from being able to bite but isn't harsh or inflexible. And the halter gives me great steering control without choking her. We've been using the gear consistently for 2 months now during training sessions and on all our hikes. Shelby has made remarkable progress - she can ignore passing dogs and people much more easily. Our adventures outdoors are now safe and fun for both of us thanks to Bronze Dog. I won't hike without these excellent tools!

As a professional dog walker, I need muzzles, collars, and leashes I can rely on to safely handle all types of dogs. After years of trying different brands, I've found Bronze Dog to be far and away the best quality for durability, comfort, and effectiveness. I use their triple-layered leather dog leashes and rolled leather collars daily for even the strongest pullers - the construction never fails. The alloy metal greyhound style muzzles are perfect for preventing bites from scared or reactive dogs we encounter. And I love the cute plaid nylon muzzles for friendly pups who simply need reminder not to jump. Even after months of heavy use across dozens of dogs, these Bronze Dog products look and function like new thanks to the meticulous hand-crafting. My dogs walk happy and secure. These are the only muzzles, collars and leashes I'll use!
