It means&nbsp;<strong>\u201cCaution: This dog needs space.\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;These dogs may be nervous, reactive, easily frightened, or in training. The color red alerts others \u2014 especially strangers and other dog owners \u2014&nbsp;<strong>not to approach or touch the dog<\/strong>&nbsp;without permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the dog is aggressive; it could simply mean that the dog:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gets anxious around unfamiliar people or animals,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is recovering from surgery or trauma,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is being trained and needs focus, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doesn\u2019t react well to sudden movements or loud noises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short \u2014&nbsp;<strong>a red collar is a polite way to say \u201cplease give this dog room.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you ever see one, admire the pup from a distance and let the owner take the lead.
