'Dog in training' could be a good idea for sure. I'm actually thinking of getting one patch that says that just for particular occasions where I would be in a place with more dog people that would understand that this means she needs space. However in other occasions I would be worried that it would attract people to ask me ''what is she in training for'' which would put Kyara over threshold and get her to start barking.
Kyara actually means Princess in Swahili, she is named after a character in a movie that is a princess. As I mentioned in my first post, she walks in a royal way (sort of trotting). Plus, she is spoiled, not just by me but by our friends and family who will give her treats behind our backs just to get her to ''like them'' but even when she likes them, she only occasionally ''allows'' them to pet her as if she was some royalty
. I guess she understands that this ''attitude'' gives her more treats
.
I'm afraid that if someone is put off of shelties by simply reading the word ''Princess'' on her harness chances are they are probably already put off of the breed with all her barking for them coming to close to her.
Joking aside, I must say that it would be a strange way to judge a breed by what is written on one individual dog of the breed's harness.
Some of the cute ideas (eg look but don't touch) just seems like it would put people off the breed. I don't think we want to promote "princess" as an attribute of the breed.![]()
