He hasn’t grown since 3 months? How old is he now? That’s a little concerning, no? Has he seen a vet?

He is almost 8 months. The vet has no concern. He has grown a little but not much.

Oh okay that’s good the vet isn’t concerned. Just seems so weird to me he hasn’t grown much. Usually they grow like crazy hahah

You confused me for awhile when you were talking about e-collars

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask! You might get slightly different answers though

Have any of you heard of color coding the leashes/collars for dogs?
Tucker is nervous around meeting new people and barks at other dogs because he gets so excited he wants to play. He wont bite but he will bark.
So apparently you can color code their collars/leashes
Like red means aggressive and do not approach/pet
Then yellow can mean up for adoption or nervous
Blue is for in training for a service dog or special task
Orange is for training on a behavioral issue or has a behavioral issue.
White is for deaf/blind dogs.
So i was thinking about orange for him as im working on his issue. He just hasnt liked many people since the beginning but he falls in love with little kids and always wants attention from them, he thinks by barking is the best way to get it.

I have only seen them with writing as well as colour

Yeah that's what I thought. The only way you can get people to ask in my (unfortunate) experience is to put a muzzle

same at least it does stops some people

Thats also what i was thinking most people dont know. I was going to get a harness that said dont approach but then people think they are mean. I just dont want him to get super nervous to the point he bites someone. So maybe a tag on his leash that says ask to approach. My aunt has a pit mix that has a harness that says do not pet because of a incident that happened. We were going to get orange collars for him anyway for hunting.

I have a leash wrap that says “space needed“ I also have circler parches that have a hand in the middle with a red line through it, they do say “don’t pet me I am working“ but you might find a version without the working bit, not even sure it matters too much its says working on it, I don’t think most people read it
