yellow dog projectWe recently learned about the Yellow Dog Project and think it’s a great idea! Yellow Dogs are dogs who need space – they are not necessarily aggressive dogs, but often are dogs who have issues of fear; pain from recent surgery; are a rescue or shelter dog who has not yet had sufficient training or mastered obedience; are in training for work or service; are in service; or other reasons specific to the dog.

If you have a “Yellow Dog”, you put a yellow ribbon on your leash or dog that can easily been seen so that other dog owners know if advance that your dog needs some space and not to go close towards these dogs.

They also have a list of what a Yellow Dog Project is NOT:

  • It is not an excuse to avoid proper training
  • It is not a waiver of responsibility
  • It is not an admittance of guilt or a confession

The Yellow Dog Project hopes to educate the public and dog owners to identify dogs needing space, promote appropriate contact of dogs and assist dog parents to identify their dog as needing space.
