[nagdu] Please don't pet me, I'm working.

I have observed this.  It
doesn't work at all.  I have
seen people pat the dog and
then apologize for just
reading the sign.  Most people
I know use the little pouch
for pick up bags and other
items.  

Warmly,
Melissa R. Green and Pj
It is 'where we are' that
should make all the
difference, whether we believe
we belong there or not.

Raven,

I tried one of these signs a
long long time ago. They
didn't stop people
petting or distracting the
dog. In fact, people would
actually read the sign
as they were petting. Some
people love them, but in my
experience, they were
a waste of time and didn't cut
back the unsolicited attention
a bit.

Sherry

Does anyone use these signs on
their guide dog? I recently
encountered
a couple people who said that
I should have a sign on my
dog's harness
so that they and others know
he is a working dog and will
not pet or
interact with him.
I argued that the idiots who
lack self control and common
decency will
still pet my dog, regardless
of some sign that most people
won't
bother reading.
But is this something worth
considering?
