No dog is smarter than a warthog. But I agree - most dogs are trainable, and a muzzle doesn't seem to inconvenience them greatly.

I go with the clown dogs. They do all kinds of stupid shit in exchange for a doggie treat. Bribery is the paradigm for zookeepers. Wanna get a four meter fifteen hundred pound giraffe in a truck? Mulberry leaves.
Ayup. One man's bribery is another man's positive reinforcement.

The one consistent thing about animals is, they are very food motivated. If you have what they like, they'll do what it takes to get it. Outside of any trust issues, of course.

We do not domesticate cats. They domesticate us.

Build a 2x4 frame around it.
And if you're not handy, you can purchase ready-to-assemble dog kennel kits for not too much money that should do it.
