[nagdu] harness signs

[Marsha Drenth]

Now here is where I have seen a improvement. My husband purchased me a sign
for my pup for the harness for Christmas, and she has been wearing it since.
Granted not all that long. But I have had only one person try to pet my pup
since. I don't think this person could read, and most likely had other
disabilities. Before, I had so many people try to pet her. I was trying and
just dreaded going places because of the number of people who wanted to pet
her. So in my situation, the sign has definetly worked wonders!

I don't think the signs make any difference anyway.

I have a sign on Monty's harness that says "Please don't pet me I'm 
working".  For folks who have difficulty with words there is also a picture 
of a hand reaching to pet a dog with a giant red slash through it.  You'd 
think people would get the hint, but they don't. I have noticed absolutely 
no difference in the amount of petafiles since I started with the sign.

Just today I had some guy reach out to pet Monty just as we're getting ready

to cross the street of all things.  He explained that he had been petting 
the dog in training on the college campus earlier.  As if that made it okay 
or something.  Torks me.  But Monty got my revenge, he backed up and gave 
the death ray eyeball look.  LOL  Go Monty!
