i have been thinking of ways to alert the public if your dog was approachable or not,
something they could see from a distance giving them/kids the option to stop and ask if it was ok to pet your dog also if they need to steer clear of too.
I was going to find out if there was a Market for such an item like a collar or Harness
that could be seen from a distance. QUESS WHAT?



someone has beat me to it


This “friendly”
bright green dog collar is designed with safety in mind, to aid other
dog walkers and children that from a distance that they are approaching a
good natured dog.
We have conceived many questionnaires
and have spoken to many dog owners that all agree this is a great way to
walk your dog without causing stress to other dog owners, parents and
children whilst on your leisurely walk. We have sold many of these to
areas where we walk our dogs and we know how each others dogs behave.
Its great to know the nature of other dogs without having to ask the
owner or pull back your child if they are off the lead.

polypropylene webbing with black lettering.3 "FRIENDLY” words on each

This is used in a rescue in the USA, they put coloured collars on the dogs for everyone, working there and guests to have a better understanding of the dogs

Good idea - better than some ideas the g'ment have!

this is a brill idea.... not sure most dog owners would have a clue what they meant though
