The Yellow Dog Project

Have you ever been out for a walk around the neighborhood, and seen someone walking a dog with a yellow ribbon tied to his collar, or maybe on his leash?  The Yellow Dog Project is really a great idea, and we want to make sure everyone in America understands what it means.

When you see a dog with a yellow ribbon, or bandana, or other yellow attire, it’s a sign that the owner wants you to know that this dog needs a little more space.  It doesn’t mean he’s aggressive or mean, but it does mean that you (and your children, especially) should approach the dog only when the owner tells you it’s OK.

Some dogs are nervous around strangers, and some are just learning how to interact with people outside the house.  The Yellow Dog Project was conceived as a way to alert others that this particular dog needs his space, so people don’t approach him too quickly or get too close for their own safety.  

We’re so happy to share this information with you because it’s such a great idea. All dogs need exercise and an opportunity to learn their social skills. The Yellow Dog Project gives handlers and owners a simple way to let the world know their dog needs a little extra space.  To learn more, visit their website at TheYellowDogProject.com.

Dog Walking Troubles?

Does your dog misbehave on leash? Your dog pulling on the leash is a potentially dangerous situation. Some dogs won't stop pulling and start choking themselves. When your dog pulls he might get away from you. You could fall and get hurt and your dog can get lose and get into a dog fight or get hit by a car.

The best way to teach your dog not to pull is to use a gentle leader (head halter). 

When you buy a gentle leader it comes with an instruction video that shows you how to put it on your dog. The nose piece should be a little loose but the other piece should be snug up by your dogs ears. This type of collar works because dogs have to go in the direction that their head is pointing. If your dog does pull on the gentle leader he won't be able to pull very hard because pulling will be uncomfortable for your dog. You should also reward your dog for walking loose on the leash so that it becomes a habit.

Be Wise... Bewaggle!
