FAQ's - Answers from our Expert
My dog is very small, which products are most suitable?
As our message is intended to be as clear as possible, we keep embroidery to a certain height. This means items such as the collars or bandana are likely going to be too large for our smallest dog friends. We highly recommend the xs soft vest harness or even the small coat instead - please refer to the fitting guide if you are unsure.
My dog is very strong and pulls on the lead, which products are most suitable?
Oh my friend, we sympathise! Too often pet products have a reduced life because they are not made to withstand the realities of dog management. For you, we recommend any of the collars, leads and the anchor strap harness. A bandana can even add a little flair! We would avoid the soft vest harness for dogs who pull.
What is the best combination for visibility?
Our behaviourist recommends having one message at your own wait height (i.e. a lead) and at least one message on your dog. The combination of the two really helps more people notice that something is different about you...
Where should I use my Friendly Dog Collar gear?
Everywhere! But it is especially appreciated in dog populated areas. Our behaviourist recommends putting them on your dog for vet visits, grooming appointments, training sessions and walks. These are the times when it will be most helpful to you to have your dog's needs seen.
What if people don't pay attention?
It's so difficult navigating the world with a pet who has particular needs and requires extra support. We would love to have the power to change that for you in a product. However, we have to stress that it is up to owners and handlers to continue to act in the best interest and safety of the people and pets around them as well as their own dog. Responsible pet ownership and kind communication will ensure these messages are seen and heard with the best outcomes. (See disclaimer)
Is great and visually great . First time at dog park had a lot of people asking where I brought it .
I feel more confident taking Guss places with his new harness. People read and respect his boundaries clearer then just the lead by itself. If it clipped around the chest instead of going over the head it would be perfect. Great product!
My dog loves his nervous dog harness and the wording is so clear to everyone! I cannot recommend these enough! If you are thinking about getting one for your dog don’t hesitate! I bought him the small and it fits perfectly!
Product seems good quality
Measured my dog several times and chose medium but it is too big and the small would have been too small
I adapted medium to fit fairly well
This harness has helped the most with all our interactions with young toddlers and big dogs. I no longer have to explain and overapologise for his behaviour. Really useful for other parents too - they often point at the harness and let their kids know that he's a bit nervous and they take it really well. Around a month of using it and all of our interactions have become significantly better! Thank you.
Perfect for my little nervous chihuahua
My newly adapted little dog Riley is not too sure about the big wide world and can get a bit anxious when meeting other dogs. When he wears his "Nervous" harness and lead, I feel more relaxed as I don't feel the need to explain all the time why he's not very friendly: the harness and lead say it all. I love the bright yellow colour. The harness fits well, Riley weighs 6.5kg and I bought the small size. I'm happy with my purchase and received the order very quickly.
great - material is nice. Fits my (small but large neck) female staffy, who was attacked by another dog so is now a bit scared of others. Bright and clear to see from far away
Great fit, good quality and was exactly what we needed to send the message that our rescue dog needs a bit of space right now.
Perfect harness for my little chihuahua x, she gets nervous on walks and this lets everyone know not to pat her/ let other dogs play with her. The quality is great too.
He lives his new vest and now strangers don’t come racing up to him to pat him. They see the “ nervous” sign and are much more gentle in their approach
My Lizzy is a high anxiety dog and doesn’t like other dogs and is highly anxious/nervous around men. This harness is perfect for her shopping centre outings.
This harness is amazing! We were having trouble with owners letting their dogs jump around in my very anxious border collies face after being asked not to. We now get a lot more owners giving him the space to warm up before letting them rush him!
Hi
I just wanted to show the harness bought for my foster dog Bundy.
Although a sweetheart, in public he is very timid towards people and unfortunatly a curse for being so cute people try to pet him alot. This harness seems to have made a good deal difference.
The harness (M) fits him well and having the 3 D-rings means you can clip the lead on where the dog walks best.
Thank you for making these products as they make rescue work alot easier! :)
I got my baby a 'nervous' harness, she's about 6kg and we got a size small - could have gone an XS maybe as the small is on the tightest it can go and a little loose, but still wearable! It's great quality and really helps people know to not pat her in public so she stays a lot more calm.
My dog Ruby has the nervous lead, harness and collar. I’m so glad I finally bought it as it tells people not to come next to her and not to bring their dogs near her too. This allows Ruby to enjoy her walks peacefully!
The harness is great! It fits my anxious little guy perfectly. It lets other dog owners know not to bring their dog up to say hello with out checking.
It is just wonderful to have this for my dogs who both suffer from anxiety and often display aggression in defence. I’m so immensely grateful for this!
We bought the leash and harness in yellow with ‘Nervous’ written on it in order to stop people approaching our nervous and anxious pup. Since wearing it, other dog owners are so much more respectful and we can walk in peace! It’s amazing. If you’re the owner of an anxious and apprehensive dog, I can’t recommend these guys enough!
The harness is soft and Cassie loves putting it on. Walks are no longer fearful!
Such a great way to let people know my girl needs space and consideration. Always gets a smile and acknowledgement from others which I appreciate so much.
Crystal just loves her new harness. She'll push her head through the collar as soon as it's held out to her.
