thanks for all of this, i will get something. Yes, it’s possible that people will pet him, and it does help if my dog doesn’t seek attention.

I tell them I know how hard it is not to pet him and that's why I got the sign. They seem to understand. There still is the occasional person who either doesn't see the sign or chooses to ignore it.
