Yellow Ribbon on a dog's leash & what it means
#1
A yellow Ribbon or something yellow on the dog's leash means "This dog needs space"

It might be because of health problems, social problems (with humans or other dogs) But the ribbon sends out a warning and advice to anyone approaching.

I think it is a very good idea if used correctly.

But there are times when a dog needs to get used to the company of others, and socialisation is not something to back away from. Some dogs are very uneasy in the company of other dogs, because they haven't mixed much among their own species. So more socialisation can sometimes help. Of course, that depends. So it is at the discretion of the caretaker.

What a great idea. I am sure that sometimes it is better to give a dog space. Certainly there are lots of health issues that would make it better for a dog to be left alone.

I can't believe a dog owner was so foolish as to let his dog go when he was asked to stay away. Her dogs might have had some kind of infectious virus. No means no even with dogs.

If a dog needs socializing the trainer might want to control things more carefully than a random dog encounter. Even special needs dogs need walks.
Let us hope the yellow ribbon catches on. I think I have seen one in Toronto.
