I personally do not think muzzles should be used with out supervision. The muzzle can get caught on things and the pet can get stuck or worse. I would recommend trying to crate train if you want Bruno to be alone in the house. You can also try blocking him into only 1 room or area of the house. This type of a muzzle is called a basket muzzle and they can breath with it on. However again I would not recommend using it if no one is home
