I spotted this and thought I would pass it on for anyone who hasn't seen them before and might be interested. I've thought about getting the "no dogs" for Kenzi to wear when we go to car shows since it's more congested and harder to tell every single person to keep their dog back. Though this still relies upon people being able to read and today we seem to be running low on people that can. If anyone has one already I would be interested to know if it has made a difference in how people approach you or if people ignore it.

Hmm. the Deaf one would have been useful for Ripley at first.
Too bad they dont have:
INSANELYHAPPYTOMEETYOUPLEASEPETME for Tika

Wow, those are really cool!

These are cool, I might get the nervous for Siku cause I'm sick of people like charging him and him backing up and barking and them look at me like I've got a terrible dog.

This would be even better if you could customize a bit. Mishka is nervous around kids but gets waaay too excited when other dogs are around.

I am kinda thinking of the training one or the working one for Diz so we could ignore people and walk by hopefully without them trying to approach. I had thought about getting one of the vests that say 'training, do not pet,' but they look like service dog gear, and I really hate people that try to pass of their pets as service dogs.

That's a smart idea! My husband and I are going to start training Achilles to be a service dog, so we ordered a vest, but the leash seems like a great idea for people who don't want that association!

I should get the friendly one, not that anyone asks me if Yukon is dangerous before squeezing out his face...

I've had very good luck with people not just rushing up to pet Kenzi and most kids have actually been afraid of her, but then she always looks like she's on the prowl. The problem has always been people letting their dogs get too close. They will tell their kids to ask before touching the dog but they won't keep their dogs back. At least something like this, even if I don't get time to warn them, they were still technically warned of her issues.

This is a great idea. I feel though you will still get those people who ignore it though

Leashes, yes. Collars, no. I bought a collar with Shaqua's name stitched in it.... She is so fluffy you can't even read it! LOL.

Great idea though! I like it.

I could use 2

1) "if you come close enough, Im going to jump and lick your face off"

and

2) "If I'm off leash and you run, I will play tag, and you WILL be it, especially if your a kid closer to my height"

think i can get those put on there? ...lol...
