Reactive Dog Owner Hats

46% of dog owners report their dog reacts to other dogs in public, and trainers say leash-reactivity cases have surged as parks and trails get more crowded. That is a very large group of people who share one specific daily experience: seeing another dog coming, and having about four seconds to manage it. These hats do a job that most merch does not. Worn on a walk, they say the thing you would otherwise have to shout across a street, and they say it early enough to matter. My dog is reactive, not aggressive. Please don't let your dog say hi. Yellow leash means give us space. The rest of the collection is for the parts nobody sees: the pre-dawn walk timed to avoid every other dog, the training that has no graduation date, the barking at nothing that he has never once explained. Set across serif, slab and heavy display faces, with an arched REACTIVE DOG in teal thread meant to be legible from across the street. Stone, khaki, spruce, navy and pink, threaded in navy, maroon, flamingo and black rather than default white.
