What do yellow leads & ribbons on dogs mean?

A YELLOW lead helps raise awareness that a dog needs some space.

There are many reasons why a dog may need space:

• Newly adopted
• Learning self-control around other dogs
• In- training
• Illness or recovering from surgery
• Shyness of people
• Fearful of unfamiliar or rowdy
• Intolerance of other animal
• Fearful of unfamiliar people
• Aging and elderly
• Injuries or painful physical conditions like arthritis
• Deaf or Blind

Wearing a yellow lead does not mean these dogs are “bad”, rather that they do better with space. Please maintain a respectable distance or give this dog and their person time to move out of your way.
