Project 7 — Working the Puppy Muzzle
Every piece of art is a progression through stages, incrementally adding value and developing an idea. I do not think that this muzzle is going to exempt from this process. So far the muzzle has gone through three stages and I think I am now ready to take the idea to a manufacturer. The first sketches we used to further flesh out the idea looked like this:
A very simple design to begin with, mostly focused on making the basics work. We did use the picture “The Veterinarian” drew as inspiration and I researched some of the dog like masks available on the market.
Our next revision was a little bit more detailed looking at some of the features which would possibly make it a viable product. The drawing looks like this and with most pictures on this web-site you may click on it to access a much larger version.
Taking that detail into account we went further to implement a few convenient features. As this muzzle would probably be worn for a longer period of time it needs to not only be easily adjustable but also comfortable. Some foam padding and the ability to leash the puppy were added. Ending up with an illustration which looks like this:
The next step will be to locate someone that can actually create a prototype. Lucky for me I live close to Toronto and I have easy access to the ingenious folks at Northbound Leather. There are some details which cannot be clarified until I have spoken to someone that actually fabricates these toys. The foam would have to be conforming to the wearers face and it would have to withstand moisture. I guess it would be rubber or latex based. The dog nose would probably be cast from plastic and I would have to find a way of sourcing it cheaply.
Your feedback is welcome, so please take the time creating this together with me.

Master,
the final draft is my favourite, more feminine than the first one. I look forward to a day where it is muzzled nice against my flesh.

My Feedback:
I’ve been looking at the drawings which where made and somethings not right with the last two drawings. There was something about this muzzle which attracted my attention. The first picture displayed here (in the new post) looks good, attractive and lovely, however the other two, not so. I think the Nose or the actual muzzle is to long. Remove the zipper, i do not think this is a mask which is meant to be worn to silence a slave but rather to have her tongue sticking out, giving the image of a panting dog.
Actually, thinking about it, it is the ‘open mouth’ that attracts me so much to it, i think and the fact that it actually looks like a dog. I want the muzzle to look as much like a dog as possible. The D-ring or whatever that ring down there is called for the leash is a nice move but don’t think it will work if the puppy-girl doesn’t want to follow her Master/Owner/Dominant and He/She is left pulling their Puppy-Girl forward.
Otherwise the straps look good and eveything looks in order and looks like a product which would sell well on the market.
If you really want to silence your puppy-girl why don’t you just attach a dildo-gag or something of the sort to silence her? I just don’t think that making the muzzle less realistic is good.
First of all, you are going about this all wrong. For one, NorthBound isn’t really tooled up for this. They might be able to make the designs but they don’t have the experience or or machines for plastic injection molding (for the nose), etc. For two, your choice of materials is incorrect. There are better materials to use for various reasons. Lastly, the design (with a zippered mouth) is going to be difficult (and therefore expensive) to manufacture. Lots of sewing and manual work.
I am working on creating custom gear (for multiple niche fetishes) but the process isn’t easy. The tooling and machines have literally cost well into the 6 figures. Multiple techniques have been created or adapted that are unique to creating these kinds of toys that have to be figured out through lengthy (and expensive) trial and error. I do plan on offering products like this for sale in the coming year — you are not the only one who have been inspired by the Vet’s ideas. Believe me though, there are plenty more ideas coming than the three he had.
I am glad that others are interested in buying said toys though — I believe there is a market for such things — but making them is not easy! Especially not in a production setting. People will spend good money on good toys but everything has a limit.
Excellent, please make sure you share your distribution channels. I would be excited to review your products for our readers. I am glad you have chosen to share your insights, I will certainly let those who will manufacture my solution know. However I think you slightly misunderstand my intent. This will never be a mass market product. I am not interested in that. As such manual labour and a higher price are absolutely acceptable to me.
Currently I am in the process of making my bitch her puppy outfit, I must say that I think the first design and the original by the Vet’ look most like a dog and agreed the mouth being open adds to it, but disagree with this idea of needing to use an apparatus to silence the puppygirl. You don’t shove something into a canines mouth to silence it, so why would you treat this puppy any different, it’s either trained well and obedient, or it is not.
As for the tooling of said muzzles, regardless the design and such, to Fet, is rather too much bs of what needs to be done to accomplish for the need, or not being thought out in the idea of mass production to the fact you would outsource this to say china, most likely one who makes costumes or masks, and items around anime cosplay customers. And as for saying NorthBound isn’t tooled up for this, the designs called for leather muzzles, that even I can make by hand in a short matter of time with very little stitching required using leather pressed into a mold, or my own rubber poured mold.
I have in the past made realistic cat ears for penny’s, and tails attached to anal plugs, that after inserted, move almost as a real cats tail which the wearer can control fairly well by just undulating their hips slightly different ways and each one cost me about 3 –4 dollars in materials, as for labor well I was free, but yet if I were to take those designs to a asian manufacturer, I’m sure they would cost less than what my materials cost including labor and shipping back to the US, only a fool would think of tooling and doing it all himself to produce something with such a limited market.
I used to make latex whips and leather bondage gear as seen on my ankles and wrists in many of my pictures online, much like a Jedi would hone his own light saber as a part of becoming a Jedi, I felt one should hone their own tools as well.
As this continued a friend of mine was making bondage gear for a profit, I explained to him to create templates for each thing out of steel that could be handed to anyone with limited instructions and as long as they followed the templates, would produce exactly what he wanted, then find some young adults who needed work and offer them piece work, X dollars per finished item.
A great way to get cheap labor and at the same time helping other young people be a part of the scene they wanted to know more about.
So, here we are. I assume I will end up creating my own and that will be the end of it, or ask my friend Slyx, who makes latex clothing what he might be able to come up with, or another female friend who makes PVC clothing for the skin suit, and if no results and what is already offered not to my liking, improvise something, most likely a transformation from something completely different, not unlike when I made my 8 year old daughter a Jessie from Team Rocket on Pokemon outfit or a Trina from the Matrix outfit the following year from things I picked up at various stores.
If anyone has any leads or ideas I’m open to suggestions.

I like the first one. It also leaves room for a ball or ring gag and collar. Someone should make realistic paws that keep the hands flat instead of curled (so that the puppy can beg properly) and which don’t get in the way of cuffs. Just throwing ideas I’ve had for ages for anyone who wants to be the first on the market. I almost think we need to recruit, what with the sad state of the pup-play market.
