H and I got the muzzle on the dog. Then, by the time H's BFF came over, the dog managed to get it off. He's wearing it around his neck. We keep commenting on his "bling".

There are lots of really great youtube videos if you decide to do some desensitisation work. A good behaviourist would probably help steer you guys back on track.
Only if you're interested of course, if you wanted to use a clicker for desensitisation (to brushes, washing, or anything else) this is a really effective method, and it will help build trust.
Rather than muzzling, although I know it must be necessary sometimes, I'd start really slowly by using this method to introduce the feared objects or situations. Only one possible option, and just what I'd choose to do. So thought it was worth suggesting.
I do think you'll be able to work through this.
