While it\u2019s a good idea to take this stance with any dog you\u2019re not familiar with, The Yellow Dog Project (TYDP) is a global movement trying to popularize the use of yellow ribbons as a way to educate and alert people about dogs who need their space.<\/p>\n<p>Yellow Dogs are not necessarily aggressive or dangerous, but might have issues with fear or be in pain due to recent surgery. If approached, such a dog could snap, growl or become anxious and stressed, which is what the yellow ribbon is intended to prevent.<\/p>\n<h2>The Yellow Dog Project identifies dogs who need space<\/h2>\n<p>The Yellow Dog Project was founded by Tara Palardy, a graduate of Animal Behavior College, in 2013 to support dogs who are anxious and may display reactive behaviors if approached. The color yellow was chosen for ribbons because it\u2019s widely understood as a cautionary color.<sup><span id=\"edn1\" data-hash=\"#ednref1\">1<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>In addition to dogs who may be fearful or in pain, dogs wearing yellow ribbons may be rescue or shelter dogs who have behavioral problems they haven\u2019t yet overcome. They may also be dogs in training to be work or service dogs. According to the not-for-profit Yellow Dog Project:<sup><span id=\"edn2\" data-hash=\"#ednref2\">2<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c<\/em><em>The Yellow Dog Project seeks to educate appropriate ways to approach or make contact with a dog with permission of a dog owner only, whether or not a dog is a \u2018yellow dog.\u2019 They also seek to promote the use of yellow ribbons to identify yellow dogs needing extra space.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Project makes it clear that putting a yellow ribbon on your dog is not a way to mark her as a bad dog or a confession that people must stay away or risk getting bitten. Some people may avoid using a yellow ribbon for their dog for this reason, but doing so shouldn\u2019t bring about embarrassment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWearing a yellow ribbon is NOT an admission of guilt,\u201d TYDP notes. \u201cDogs can have space issues for a variety of reasons and you are not the only person with a yellow dog. There are most likely many people in your community who are \u2018hiding\u2019 their pet issues rather than working on them. Be proud of your furry family member and the work you are putting into him\/her!\u201d<sup><span id=\"edn3\" data-hash=\"#ednref3\">3<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\n<h2>A yellow ribbon is not a substitute for proper training<\/h2>\n<p>As the word gets out about what a yellow ribbon on a dog\u2019s collar means, it may become more common in public places. However, if your dog truly is aggressive, a yellow ribbon is not enough of a warning or a substitute for proper training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have an outright aggressive dog, you must seek proper training from a qualified professional. This organization promotes the awareness of dogs who need space, but it is not an excuse for lack of training,\u201d TYDP explains.<sup><span id=\"edn4\" data-hash=\"#ednref4\">4<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0If your dog has been abused, has fear aggression or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthypets.mercola.com\/sites\/healthypets\/archive\/2018\/05\/11\/dog-territorial-aggression.aspx\">territorial aggression<\/a>, basic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthypets.mercola.com\/sites\/healthypets\/archive\/2016\/02\/05\/confident-dog-breeds.aspx\">obedience training<\/a>\u00a0is important, but so is evaluating the dog\u2019s history and environment to determine what may be driving the problem behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>Behavior problems in dogs can almost always be traced to their environment, past or present, and may include the food they eat, the way they spend their time, the bond they have with their owners, previous training (or lack thereof), training methods and many other factors.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthypets.mercola.com\/sites\/healthypets\/archive\/2012\/08\/03\/positive-reinforcement-dog-training.aspx\">Reward-based training<\/a>\u00a0is one effective and compassionate way to change unwanted behaviors in dogs, including some forms of aggression.<\/p>\n<div class=\"productad\">\n<div class=\"label\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Always ask before petting<\/h2>\n<p>TYDP is a great idea to alert passersby that they shouldn\u2019t approach your shy, nervous or recuperating dog. Your dog is a good candidate for a yellow ribbon if she behaves aggressively or acts timid, shy or skittish when approached by strangers or other dogs.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel your dog could benefit from wearing a yellow ribbon, be prepared to explain its meaning to strangers, and also talk with your veterinarian, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apdt.com\/\">positive dog trainer<\/a>\u00a0or a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dacvb.org\/default.aspx\">veterinary behaviorist<\/a>\u00a0to help your dog work through any undesirable behaviors. That being said, for some dogs, a yellow ribbon may always be recommended.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea, however, to simply assume that you shouldn\u2019t approach any dog you don\u2019t know without first asking the owner\u2019s permission \u2014 whether she\u2019s wearing a yellow ribbon or not.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, it\u2019s possible to easily observe a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthypets.mercola.com\/sites\/healthypets\/archive\/2019\/04\/15\/dog-body-language.aspx\">dog\u2019s body language<\/a>\u00a0to understand whether it\u2019s friendly, relaxed and open to being approached or frightened, stressed and not interested in interacting. Other times, a dog\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthypets.mercola.com\/sites\/healthypets\/archive\/2018\/04\/13\/shy-dog.aspx\">shyness or stress signals<\/a>\u00a0can be far more subtle and easy to miss. For instance, yawning and licking her lips are ways your dog may signal that she\u2019s feeling stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Further, many dogs\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthypets.mercola.com\/sites\/healthypets\/archive\/2016\/03\/07\/dog-petting-tips.aspx\">dislike being petted on their heads<\/a>, especially when it\u2019s from a stranger. Yet, this is the way many strangers approach dogs they\u2019re not familiar with. A far better option than approaching a dog in passing is to ask her owner if it\u2019s OK to pet her. Even then, respect boundaries, let the dog initiate contact first and avoid invading her personal space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div
