She claimed she was following "guidelines of the law" to use a muzzle for her dog's training.
Another incident involved her dogs Boo and Cupcake, which showed one with a ribbon tied around its mouth and fur dyed in bright colors.
PETA stated: "Subjecting dogs to the stress of being dyed — which is also potentially toxic — and restricting their opportunities to eat, drink, and breathe by tying a ribbon around their mouths are cruel acts that can have fatal consequences, and they show a profound lack of empathy." Farrah responded that she was following legal guidelines and that the pets are treated with care, stating: "We do have emotional support animals and they must be trained to the guidelines of the law."
