Overview
- Adam Spivey of Southend Dog Training posted a video urging people to recall their pets and avoid approaching dogs on yellow leads.
- Wales Online, the Daily Mirror and the Express reported the guidance on Friday, amplifying the call for greater awareness.
- Campaigner Sarah of My Anxious Dog promotes yellow accessories to indicate a dog needs space and has built a small business around the signal.
- Yellow gear is used for dogs that may be reactive, fearful, elderly or recovering from injury or surgery, while some owners use red to mean no dogs or do not approach.
- Owners report that colour cues are often ignored and some say they are resorting to muzzle training for safety, highlighting uneven public compliance.
