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)
Great service. Great product. The fabric is comfortable and fits well.
Very happy with these products and now I can successfully walk levi, my rescue dog… with clear, visual sign that he is in training and we are not being rude by not interacting…
Very well made coat.
We have trouble walking our puppy without people petting it without asking permission first or wanting to let their dog greets.
Since wearing the training coat we have not had anyone approaching us and leaving us to train/walk in peace.
People are more respectful now that they notice her wearing the training coat.
It’s a perfect fit, well made, stands out and nice and comfortable for our puppy-in-training.
Great product. I purchased M/L and it fits slimmer/smaller medium size dogs well (lean kelpie, small border) but need larger size to fit (barrel chested/rounder) heelers properly without popping a Velcro strap 😂. Wondering if a more summer appropriate product would be available soon?
Great item fits my dog well along the body but the belly strap is to long. Will definitely purchase from this company again
This is the perfect size for my kelpie x cattle dog boy, and love that it has a small space at the top to pull his harness through to attach to his lead, very practical!
Excellent Service and it has really helped people to understand the situation
LOVE this jacket! Fits perfectly, easy to put on and allows me to train my dog anywhere and put him in situations for him to learn without judgement or people around me wondering what I’m doing with my dog!
I'm pleased to report that after lots of socialisation, I have upgraded my 8mnth old German Shepherd from a 'caution' vest to a 'training' vest, due to her progress. She is still learning and can be unpredictable, so I find the 'training' vest a great tool to use in public. Great quality too.
We love our new TRAINING jacket! It lets people know that she’s not to be patted and she has a job to do!
Thank you!
Petra & I are very happy with her training coat. It has clear writing on both sides & helps people identify what she is doing. In fact we are socialising with lots of people. The service from Friendly Dog Collars was very efficient & quick. Thank you.
The words are clear and stand out but she hasn’t had a chance to wear this yet.
Fits her really well...delivery was quick...just love it
Ged is an adult Labrador Retriever who is doing advanced obedience training,which includes PAT (public access training). This coat is too small for him around the belly,fine along his back and over his shoulders. I have made an extension to the belly strap using Velcro,which has solved the problem nicely.
Apart from that sizing issue, this is a well made coat,highly visible and with the "training" lead makes Ged look very business-like!
It is important that people realise a dog is being trained so that they don't talk to him or make eye contact whilst he is working.......with this coat no explanations are needed.
I purchased the "Training" Coat for Odin last week. We have been out walking several times and have appreciated the way other dog owners have respected our space while we walk. Odin is a large dog and much stronger than me. We are always training as he continues to grow. Very happy with this purchase.
Fantastic coat. My dog loves going out in her coat and learning new things. Great for at the park to deter people from coming up to us while she is learning new skills.
Great quality, not too thick or too flimsy. Fits perfectly for now ( He's gonna be a big un.) with plenty of room for adjustment.
Now we can get some work done without "Aww, cute." interruptions.
Evie at 10 months is still a puppy even though she is a big girl. She is still learning the correct way to behave when out and about. The coat and collar let people know that she is 'in training' and not just a naughty dog. Three years ago we purchased the Friendly gear for our older dog who still uses the leash, it is still in excellent condition. Great quality products, suitable for large, strong dogs and wash up like new each time.
My young dog has still lots to learn and is easily distracted, whilst he has his coat and lead on it is very helpful in letting people know that we are working together and maybe need that extra space which is important. They are bright and modern and make people aware immediately. The handle of the lead is very comfortable being padded, the sides of the lead itself are a little rough, I have to keep drawing in for teaching recall whilst still on lead at present. The coat is excellent, a very comfortable fit, and the reflective stripe for night walking is very good. Thoughtful products.

My boy Ace is still learning how to be social while on lead, the training coat and lead help other people understand why he might be acting a bit silly and give me space. I also purchased an adopt me lead for my foster dog Josie the 11 year old Mini Foxy with a huge personality :)
Thanks for making such great products!
Great for informing others to respect my dog’s space while he’s learning the ropes.
Perfect little coat, well made, and let's everyone know not to bother us.
