Unzip the muzzle for full access to the mouth. It has a removable leather mouth-filling gag that snaps in but can be removed while the hood is being worn. The nose of the wearer is left uncovered inside the muzzle, and the interior has a very rich leather scent. There is an open space inside the muzzle, and there are two breathing holes in the doggy nose. It laces up the back snugly and has a lockable buckle at the collar. There is a D-ring on the back of the collar, and an O-ring in the front of the collar for attaching a leash. There is a flap of leather under the lacing to prevent hair tangles. This high quality, comfortable soft brown and black leather hood is ready for hard play and long term wear.
