These dogs assist people with disabilities, so it\u2019s important not to distract or approach them while they\u2019re working. Therapy dogs may also wear blue, but they don\u2019t have the same legal access rights as service animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because blue is also a common personal choice, not every dog wearing it has a special role. It\u2019s always best to look for labels on the vest or observe the dog\u2019s behavior instead of relying on color alone. Clear markings usually indicate whether a dog is performing a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other vest colors can signal specific needs. Yellow often means the dog needs space due to anxiety, reactivity, or recovery. Red commonly indicates &#8220;Do Not Pet,&#8221; warning that interaction could disrupt the dog\u2019s focus or responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green is frequently used for friendly dogs or those still in training. Understanding these color cues helps the public respond respectfully and safely, ensuring that working dogs can perform their duties without interference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dog wearing blue gear is often a service dog or a service dog in training, though blue isn\u2019t an official standard.
