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

[David]

I bought and used a flame orange handle attachment from 
PatienceandLove143 at Etsy.  It is very well done and has a little 
zippered pocket in back.  It is a little difficult to attach to a GDF 
offset harness handle.  It says GUIDE DOG, NO TOUCHING, NO TALKING, NO 
EYE CONTACT, PLEASE IGNORE.  The sign is very noticeable!  It is very 
easy to read.  As with others, I have stopped using it.  It draws 
attention to my pup, so that many people notice her who might not 
otherwise even see her.  Since I have some central vision left, I find 
it is more effective to say, "Please don't," if I see them coming at 
her, or to yell "NO!" if they have already started interfering with her 
and to pull her away from them.  She is pretty good about ignoring 
people, but if they actually begin touching her, unfortunately, she 
responds affectionately.  The response that I find most irritating is, 
"But she likes me."
