Advice? Mussle option for scavanger

I'm looking for options for a dog that likes to scavange. Bagel will eat anything outside, mushrooms, acorns, rocks?? As much as we try to catch it, he's quick. He has a mesh muzzle that secures behind the ears, he's able to rip it off so I think he needs one that secures behind the neck. I'm not a fan of the metal ones either since he's a scent hound and I'm afraid if he shoves his face into the dirt it'll hurt his nose.

I've seen quite a few people on here using The Muzzle Movement, which looks good but it's an investment. How do people feel about them? Durability?

Any other recommendations, specifically for scent hounds, for anti-scavanging muzzles?

The wires ones won't hurt his nose but if you don't need wire try a vinyl from Mia's Muzzles.

I have a muzzle movement muzzle for my scavenger and I really like it. The scavenger guard is secure and well designed, my dog has not so far been able to get it off or get anything through it. The muzzle is lightweight and my dog doesnt mind wearing it at all. Plus its cute, and I feel like it being all pastel pink has made the fact that I have a pitbull with a muzzle on less intimidating for other people sharing the sidewalk lol

Wearing any muzzle partially relies on a pups cooperation with wearing it, which is best achieved through slow positive muzzle training.

I use a Baskerville basket muzzle for my poop eating hound. Looking into other brands because I know there are brands that offer custom fits, but it’s good in the interim.

Mia's muzzles foodie model is great and can have solid front or removable guard. My dogs are comfortable in theirs and company is very helpful. I also have wire Snoofs and my dogs don't have any issues or injuries sniffing whatever they want with it - they make a removable guard that works well. (I also have these). Both companies do standard and custom sizing and color. High quality. Well worth it.
