HotDog
HotDog is a project of an educative dog muzzle.
This accessory takes a known mechanical system, the centrifugal system of the safety belts, and applies it to improve the performance of the muzzle. It works by closing on swift movements, and letting go when no force is applied. Now the dog can eat, drink, halfopen its mouth to control body temperature, since these are all slow movements without any sudden applications of force. However, when it tries to bark, grip or bite, the muzzle closes. Dogs cannot fool the system because biting and barking is are reflexes, an instinctive reaction.
The concept of the Hotdog does not traumatize the dog, does not makes the owner feel bad for subjecting his pet to an unpleasant activity, and its sight does not frighten the human environment.
