Do Not Pet Dog Collar - Red
The embroidered collar is the best choice for owners who want to keep an important signal on their dogs at all times. Collars can be warn around the home and in off lead areas while still providing information for other people who interact with your dog. Excellent for boarding kennels, grooming and vet visits, or for pets who travel. Also the best option for escape artists!

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)
A sturdy collar for our little ‘nervous-Nelly’
Quick shipping, highly recommended.
Our boy is a Dane x and I was concerned this collar would be too chunky for all day wearing at home.
It fits perfectly and is lightweight so he doesn’t get irritated by it being on all day.
It’s definitely helped to keep people from reaching out at him while we walk, or when we’re sitting at a cafe.
An excellent collar. High quality, easily washable, strong and durable but comfortable for your dog. Suitable as an everyday collar.
My dog's fur is a bit long around the collar so I'll get a bandana in the future to REALLY get the message across.
Some people will always be ignorant and try to pet every dog they see but this helps to significantly reduce that.
I can't guarentee that one day my very stressed out (in public, noisy places) dog won't bite somebody who tries to pet her while she's on high alert and freaking out so this collar is a sensible, responsible investment.
Training can take months - protect your dog (and yourself and others) by getting one of these while you're doing that training.
This has been great to stop people from overwhelming my anxious rescue dog. We did think of getting the 'anxious' lead instead but as she loves other dogs it's really people that need to keep a distance. She was previously treated badly and hates strangers going over her head to pet her or invading her personal space (which I mean I wouldn't want that either so I get it). This has helped stop people mindlessly trying to pet her, although some people still ignore it (which is ridiculous when it is bright red). Although it sometimes means people think she is an aggressive dog and avoid us, I would prefer that to increasing her fear of strangers, as this way I can control how people approach her and she's doing a lot better! I would highly recommend this lead & collar.
Bright, clear to read. My dog doesn't trust strangers so this collar is a good way to keep people from touching her without asking.
The collar is excellent. Very easy to read, sturdy and so easy to clip on and off. Highly recommend it for any dog who just needs a bit of space when they're out and about. Don't let the harshness make you feel bad about your dog. Doug's not aggressive by any means, but overly-friendly strangers and dogs are a terrible influence on him. He gets too excitable and forgets his manners completely, and sometimes his excitement just spirals into panic, which can look really scary coming from a dog almost half the height of his owner. Being able to keep people and their dogs away from him while we're out has been so good for teaching him to relax and feel safe, and for keeping him under control.
Love my new collar, works a treat at keeping the friendlies away while we're training lol. Super heavy duty and comfortable with lots of room for expansion. My mate has ordered one since seeing mine. I definitely recommend this product
Dog collar is great! Really big letters so it stands out and our boy looks great in it thank you :).
Even though our little dog Boo is the most loyal and gentle dog to his Mum and Dad, he can be quite unpredictable when it comes to other dogs and humans. This is why we’re incredibly happy with this new collar that creates a safe space for our gorgeous boy.
Good for my dogs nice collar
Wonderful design and nice and broad so no discomfort. Thank you.
The collar is bright and colourful but I am unable to use it as s-m is too big for my dog.
Loving the collar for our rescue dog but the clip is a little stiff. Not an issue for us but might be for people with less dexterity. Might be worth a look for next production run to make easier. Also, maybe it’s an Australian thing, but would have preferred “do not pat” to “do not pet”. Small things. Otherwise this has been very helpful and would recommend. People do notice it and keep their hands away from the Staffie jaws!
This collar is great. My dog JJ is scared of people who walk up to him with their hand out and the collar is bright enough, and the writing on it clear enough, for most to see it.
Sturdy collar, fits well and is easily visible..
Excellent quality item; I'm very happy with it - especially in that my dog is a child-magnet, and she doesn't like their attention. School holidays are now over, thankfully :-)
Great quality product and efficient service
I only put it on Molly when I take her to the oval, it means I can let her off the lead knowing people aren’t going to pet her. But I do find I can’t open it, the clip is too hard as I have arthritis in my fingers so I have it big enough to just slip it over her head.
great quality and arrived fast!
This collar give me a piece of mind when I take my dog to the beach. Such a great idea. I think it should be compulsory to wear one when your dog doesn't like any other dogs. It has actually saved a lot of dog fights.
Good colour, the wording stands out well. Exactly what I had hoped for.
We've got a Jack Russell who has some behavioural issues and doesn't like to be touched. The collar puts people on notice to be a little wary of the little fella. The small size was a little too big but we've made it as small as we could get it and Wigglybum is pretty comfortable. It's a little sad not being able to pet a cute dog but hey, it's doing its job and he's happy.
Good quality, nice and bright so it is easy to read
My American bulldog is friendly however when strangers approach he becomes weary. This is the perfect collar to make people stop and ask before approaching. Love it!!
Comfortable fitting for my dog and quite obvious. Gives me just that little bit extra piece of mind when out and about
Exactly as pictured. Clear, large font, easy to read, sturdy collar.
Delivery was quick and the collar fits well. No complaints here!
