First time on a muzzle!

So my 6m Malinois/Husky mix has gotten his first muzzle! It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and wish I started earlier, but my husband is traumatized since we had to muzzle our last dog when he was getting euthanized. We finally decided it was time, but are taking it slow because of my husband.
I got a size basket muzzle variety pack on amazing just for temporary and training purposes until he’s full grown, but I think it looks good! We did a short training session with his favorite treat put at the end of it and I let him put his snout in. I didn’t wanna force him and not make it a positive experience. He did really well and I made sure to give him treats after and lots of pets during and after too! Any advice or constructive criticism is helpful and appreciated!! I’ve never used a muzzle so this is very new to me :)

Forgot to add: for now it’ll be used for short term things until he is fully used to it. When that happens he will have it on for grooming sessions at the groomers bc he’s been rejected twice. He loves baths tho, just not the groomers! (If you have any advice on that too I’d love it)
