If a Dog Is Wearing This Bandana, Stay Away
#Awareness
Dogs are awesome they're called a
human's best friend for a reason however
every dog is different in terms of
temperament I admit it's so hard not to
stop every dog you see and pet them but
not all dogs are friendly towards
strangers or even towards other dogs so
if you happen to come across a reactive
dog and unknowingly try to give it a big
hug you cause nothing but stress and
fear but don't worry that's why dog
owners came up with the color-coded
bandana system to let you know whether
you should keep your distance or you can
go and say hello and as a bonus those
bandanas make their dogs look even cuter
so get ready for the doggo fashion show
our seven dog models will walk the
runway as I explain to you what each
color means let's start with white shall we
our first doggo model housing on the
runway is white he's a big and cuddly 11
year old golden retriever but what does
the white bandana around his neck mean
this might break your heart a bit but
that means he either has a hearing or
sight problem or he's totally deaf or
blind but again that doesn't mean his
owner loves him any less look how happy
he is and you'll be relieved to know
that his condition has nothing to do
with how long he'll live he's got many
years ahead to jump around and smell all
the corners of the street it only means
you should approach him keeping in mind
that he might be startled by you
okay now that you know what white
bandanas mean how about we take a look
at the colors of the rainbow in a row
the first is red, red can mean many things for us
two-legged folks love anger or passion
but in the doggo world it means danger
take a look at candy here she's a
four-year-old Rottweiler you see her red
bandana that means she won't be so sweet
to you if you approach and try to pet
her even if you see her acting loving and
cuddly towards her owners don't be
fooled her owner makes her wear the red
bandana for a reason they're warning you
about her temperament issues so if you
see other dogs wearing red bandanas like
candy beware and don't get too close
avoid any interactions and give them
space for there not to be messed with
the next color is orange
look at buddy the six-year-old chocolate
Labrador Retriever owning the goggle
Runway with his orange bandana that
means he's friendly towards All Humans
adults as children you name it however
he doesn't like to be around other dogs
P9 might not enjoy being around its
peers for several reasons first of all
it may have had a traumatic event in the
past like getting attacked by another
dog secondly it might be scared of other
dogs due to size differences thirdly it
might see them as a threat to its status
or it might simply be too protective of
its owner and see other dogs as a threat
to both its and its owner's safety
no matter the reason you'll know when a
dog is feeling scared or threatened by
these behavioral signs it might growl
expose its teeth bark excessively Point
its ears up or even try to bite
if you're a dog owner who is facing
these issues but the reactions of your
dog are not that intense you can try to
get your Furry Friends familiar with
other dogs constantly so it gets
desensitized but if it acts
uncontrollably you can seek help from a
professional dog behaviorist
next up we have the color of sunshine
look at Daisy the two-year-old King
Charles Cavalier walking the doggo
runway sporting a yellow bandana yellow
might seem like such a happy color to
you but that's not really the case in
terms of the bandana color system if a
dog is wearing a yellow bandana that
tells you to approach it slowly and with
care because that means the dog is
undergoing therapy or has some
disabilities on the other hand it can
also mean that the dog is anxious and
nervous it can be hard to predict how it
will react and it can get edgy easily so
you need to be gentle towards the dog or
be quiet and calm around it that way you
can show both the owner and the dog that
you are a considerate dog lover and you
have respect towards whatever issues the
dog might be undergoing keep in mind it
always helps to ask the owner first if
it's okay to go near the dog and pet it
our next dog model is a two-year-old
standard poodle do you see his green
bandana it makes him look like a happy
little Leprechaun right so you probably
guessed it right if a dog is wearing a
green bandana that means it is friendly
and sociable indeed it loves to be
petted and it sure loves playing games
it'll do all sorts of funny things to
entertain you for that makes it truly
happy the green bandana means it is also
attentive and curious that's one goofy
fella you can enjoy activities like
playing frisbee and rolling on the grass
together with that cutie pie by the way
the same goes for their behavior towards
other animals they act friendly and
playful when they're around other dogs
too still you should always ask the
owner if you can approach the dog no
matter how friendly it is that's the
golden rule of being a respectful dog lover
you know the saying why so blue
well don't worry if you see a blue
bandana around a dog snack that doesn't
mean it's going through some sad face or
anything just look at how happy Milo the
three-year-old husky looks his eyes
certainly match his blue bandana so if a
dog is wearing a blue bandana that just
means it is a working dog or one in
training unlike companion dogs working
dogs are trained professionally to
assist people in special tasks there are
many types of working dogs and these
include assistance dogs that are trained
to help disabled people with certain
daily tasks search and rescue dogs
herding dogs and detection or sniffer
dogs by the way it is believed that dogs
should perform tasks and always have
something to do whether they're
companions or working dogs this way they
will live much longer and happier
because those tasks will keep them
physically and mentally active this will
also help eliminate unwanted behaviors
such as excessive barking
last but not least we have purple
our last dog model is Lewis the
six-year-old pun unfortunately she's a
bit of an allergic furball that's why
she's wearing that purple bandana to let
you know that you shouldn't give her any
food without asking her owner first and
actually that goes for any dog even if
they don't have a purple bandana around
their neck you see some foods that are safe for
humans can be quite harmful to dogs the
list of the top 10 most dangerous foods
for dogs is as follows avocados grapes
and raisins garlic and onions
caffeinated drinks macadamia nuts cooked
bones salt milk and other dairy products
artificial sweeteners and candies and
chocolate on the other hand foods like
carrots apples cucumbers blueberries and
green beans are some of the safer
options however one important thing to be noted
here is that while some food may be safe
to eat for some dogs others might still
be allergic to them for example chicken
is usually considered to be a safe food
but it can trigger some skin problems in
certain dogs that's where the purple
bandana comes in handy so if you see a
dog wearing one just don't feed it
anything without consulting its owner
keep in mind regardless of what color
the dog's bandana is never assume a
dog's reaction and always make sure to
ask the dogs human if it's okay to
interact with it that's it for today so hey if you
pacified your curiosity then give the
video alike and share it with your
friends or if you want more just click

side
