A cool dude I’m friends with told me all about this and sent me a link to this article. I think it’s SO important as some of us have dogs that LOVE their peeps but aren’t in love with other dogs or humans.
Before I give it to you, I have to say I really want to make this happen in Philadelphia and New York. Having giant dogs, that are sometimes a bit sassy with other dogs, I always let oncoming owners walking their dogs know as soon as they are in hearing distance, that my guys aren’t always friendly, if they look like they want to say hi. Sometimes people have earphones in, or just don’t believe me.
It’s because of my love of ALL dogs (not just mine), that I want to make sure their dogs don’t get sassed by mine.
By a bright yellow bow on my leashes, oncoming owners can be alerted that it’s my dogs (not me) that are sassy, and we can both plan our route safely as we pass eachother.
It’s not only handy for a sassy canine, it can protect humans from dogs being rehabilitated, dogs that are sick or contagious or even dogs with fleas.
Seriously, LET’S DO THIS, it will help all of us have a more peaceful walk with our pals. Read about it, then be about it. HERE’S THE LINK
