[NAGDU] i'm working, don't pet, vest

[Marion Gwizdala]

Michael,

	I am sure others will offer some suggestions; however, it seems that the public pretty much ignores such signs. In fact, I have heard of people reading the sign, saying they understand they are not supposed to pet the guide dog, and saying the dog is just too irresistible to avoid petting. I believe the best way to handle this is by telling each person they are not to pet the dog while on duty.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala

does anyone have any suggestions for a vest to encourage not petting?
I’m working with a lab from seeing eye, and want to get some sort of sign or vest to discourage public from wanting to pet my wonderful guide Titan.
Thanks for any tips/advise, and i understand a sign won’t stop everyone however maybe it will help with people randomly petting and distracting.
best.
