When you see a dog wearing a blue vest, leash, or bandana, it’s not always about fashion. Blue often signals that the dog is a service animal or in training. These dogs are trained to assist people with disabilities in their daily lives. They need to stay focused, so it’s important not to pet or distract them.
Therapy dogs may also wear blue while visiting hospitals, schools, or nursing homes. They offer emotional support, but don’t have the same legal rights as service animals. Dogs in training often wear blue to signal they’re learning and need space. Think of it like a “Student Driver” sign for dogs.
