Do you think that would work?

I almost fell off the couch when I read that.

You would think that a dog that looks like a DS would receive a little respect just on its outer appearance.

Good thing you didnt, Sadie would be licking your face until you suffocated.

One would think !!!!!!!!!!!

People walking with out a dog always are wary when passing me and my girls, they will always ask if they can pet them and ask questions about them, then let out a sigh of relief when they pet them and still have a hand.

Its the people WITH a dog that has no common sense and goes right up to my dogs, THEN asks if they are friendly. I always answer with NO.

When I just had Thalie, I never thought twice, she is happy and loves everyone. Sadie is the protector and is not all lovey dovey to other dogs.

The "Nervous" and "Caution" ones are tempting for me to get for Maiya. On her own territory she's pretty comfortable, but take her out of that zone and she gets really insecure of her surroundings. She's great with people, but is still unsure about other peoples dogs out and about in stores. I wish I lived closer to town so I could load her up and take her to Petsmart a few times a week and work with her around other dogs, so she calms down. She will work herself up and appear to want to play with them, but after a couple of minutes will start spinning and barking, and loses her cool. I need to take her over to my folks soon...let her get some playtime fun with with my folks Malinois. She should have a good time then. Plus, it will help me gauge how she will react around other dogs she's not familiar with, and my folks dogs are practically bomb proof after all the years of socialization we put into them.

I want one that says, "I'm nervous if you tease me. Or if I think you're teasing me." I think that's a bit much. BUT I love these! And I think only dog people - like into training/rescue/dogsport know about the yellow ribbon, Jane Doe with a yappy yorkie on the street would have NO idea.
