Does your dog need space? Is your dog anxious, elderly, unwell, frightened, or grumpy? We help you communicate your dog's needs to other owners.

Blue is one of Billabone's five colour-coded messages. But what does it mean?

When you see a dog wearing blue, it means:

💙 I AM IN TRAINING

A dog wearing blue may be learning new skills, working on their focus, practising calm behaviour, or simply learning how to navigate the world around them.

Please don't distract them. Give them the space and concentration they need to learn.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be exploring what it means when a dog wears blue and how we can all help dogs in training succeed.
Because every dog deserves to be understood 🐾💙

We're celebrating 14 years of Leo! 💙

Our boy may walk a little slower these days, but he still loves his walks, the beach and getting out to enjoy the world around him.

September has always been Leo's birthday month. We don't know his exact birthday, so we've celebrated the whole month for the past 14 years — and we couldn't let his 14th birthday month pass without a little celebration. ❤️

So this one's for Leo… and for all of you who have followed his journey and been part of the Billabone story along the way.

To celebrate, we're giving you 14% OFF your Billabone order! 🎉

Happy Birthday Month, Leo. 💙

Here's to the walks, the adventures, the beach days, the memories — and hopefully plenty more of them. 🐾

Thank you for celebrating with us!

💛 Have you ever wondered what it means when a dog wears yellow?

You may have seen a dog wearing a yellow bandana, lead cover or another yellow accessory and wondered what it means.

Yellow can be used to communicate a simple message:

“I Need Space.”

It doesn't automatically mean the dog is aggressive, dangerous or unfriendly.

A dog may need space because they are nervous, overwhelmed, elderly, recovering from an injury, newly adopted, uncomfortable in a particular situation, or simply because they don't want to interact right now.

The important thing is that yellow is communication, not a label. 💛

We've put together a guide explaining what the yellow signal means, why a dog may need space, and how we can respond when we see one.

🐾 Read the full guide here:

And if you know someone who walks a dog who needs a little extra space, please feel free to share this with them.

A little understanding can make a big difference. 💛

September is officially Leo's month! 🎉

We're going to spend the month celebrating our special boy, sharing a little more of his story, and celebrating the wonderful dogs and people who have become part of the Billabone family along the way.

Happy Birthday Month, Leo! 💙🐾

Here's to another September of walks, adventures, sunshine, plenty of love and celebrating 14 years.

💛 What happens when people understand Yellow?

Sometimes, something really simple can make a big difference.

Rebecca and Arlo have been working on his reactivity for a long time. When they started using the Billabone I Need Space lead cover, it gave them another way to communicate what Arlo needed when they were out together.

Rebecca told us about the first time she walked Arlo with his Yellow sleeve.

A woman saw them and, instead of approaching, stayed on the opposite side of the road. They even had a lovely chat from a distance, and the woman told Rebecca how cute Arlo was — without trying to approach him.

Rebecca described it as such a win. 💛

And this is exactly why we believe:

Yellow is communication, not a label.

A Yellow accessory doesn't tell you everything about a dog.

It simply communicates:

“Please give us some space.”

When that message is understood, the dog and their person can navigate the world a little more comfortably. 🐾

Have you ever seen a Yellow dog and wondered what the colour meant?

⭐ TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY

Meet Arlo. 💛

Rebecca shared this beautiful Google review about their I Need Space lead cover:

“Love our new leash sleeve! Really does help communicate what we need clearly to anyone who passes or approaches us!”

For Rebecca and Arlo, the yellow message has become a simple way of communicating that they need some additional space when they're out together.

Yellow is communication, not a label. 💛

Thank you, Rebecca, for trusting Billabone to be part of your journey with your beautiful boy. 🐾

💛 Have you ever wondered what it means when you see a dog wearing yellow?

Yellow is a way of communicating:

“I NEED SPACE.”

A dog wearing Yellow/I Need Space may need some additional space for many different reasons. They may be nervous, anxious, overwhelmed, elderly, recovering from an injury, newly adopted, or simply uncomfortable with unfamiliar people or dogs.

And this is something we really want more people to understand:

💛 Yellow is communication, not a label.

It doesn't tell you everything about a dog. It simply communicates what they are asking for right now: Please give me some space.

The more people understand the colour, the easier it becomes for dogs and their humans to navigate the world together. 🐾
