Dog Star Daily has a great video on getting your dog used to wearing a muzzle.  This same process can be used for a head halter or any equipment your dog may be unsure of in the beginning.  Avoid shortcuts by putting something new on the dog and expecting them to "just get used to it". Take the steps needed to condition and your work will be easier  and more fun for both you and your dog. If using a muzzle, please be working with a trainer or behaviorist because the muzzle may prevent bites but does not change the behavior or emotional state.  Also be aware that muzzles can come off when not fitted properly and a dog can still cause significant injury and bruising while wearing one.
