Learn the meaning behind colored ribbons on dog collars and how they can help you understand a dog's temperament and needs. Find tips for managing an anxious dog and products to help your pup feel more at ease.
A yellow ribbon tied on a dog's collar can signify more than just an anxious pup. It can also warn people that a dog is in training to be a service animal, that they have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or that they are deaf or blind. It can also mean a dog is up for adoption and as mentioned, it can merely let others know that your dog is on the nervous side. If you encounter a dog with a red ribbon on its collar, it may mean the dog is aggressive.
When meeting any dog you are not familiar with, you should always ask their owner if they are OK meeting new people — that goes double for a dog with a red ribbon on its collar. If you see a dog with a green ribbon, it likely means the dog is friendly and open to meeting new people and receiving pets. Orange can mean a dog likes humans but not other dogs. White usually signals a dog is deaf or blind and blue can mean a dog is training for service, but yellow can mean that too. Purple is to indicate a dog has allergies and should not be fed random treats without talking to the owner first. If you want a signal more obvious than a ribbon to tell new people your dog is anxious, try this bright yellow bandanna. It comes in a version that says “no pets” and one that says “ask to pet.” Help your dog feel calmer and more comfortable with this hemp pill that eases joint pain and irritation and relieves stress. This yellow harness has rings to hook on a leash, serving double duty. It reads “nervous” across the chest and on both sides, giving strangers a chance to see right away that your dog is not up for random interactions. A formula of lavender, chamomile and Egyptian geranium essential oils helps calm your dog without the use of drugs or medications. Spray it in the air or on your dog’s harness, their bed or blanket. Get that relaxing vibe going at home with a pheromone diffuser kit. It mimics the pheromones emitted by a mother dog during nursing, which may help your dog relax a bit and adjust faster to a thunderstorm, separation or new visitors to the home. This antianxiety jacket has it all, including a pocket for essential oils and a music player to help your dog stay calm. It uses compression to make your dog feel safer, which should reduce their stress during events like thunderstorms and new visitors to your home. This “nervous” leash is just one more signal to add to your dog’s routine so visitors and strangers know to keep a bit of distance and approach carefully. The word “nervous” is printed all along the leash. If you need your dog to calm down and they struggle to take medications, these calming help chews may be a solution. Since they’re in treat form, your dog may find them more appealing than a pill wrapped in a piece of cheese. They’re made of all-natural ingredients and flavored like bacon
