The Three Flags Explained

RED FLAG = NEEDS SPACE

Please Give Us Space

When to use:

  • Your dog is reactive or aggressive toward other dogs or people
  • Your dog is recovering from surgery, injury, or illness
  • Your dog is having an anxious, overstimulated, or fearful day
  • You're working on behavior training in a controlled environment

What it signals to others:
"Please keep your distance. My dog needs space right now. Do not approach or let your dog approach."

Real-world example:
Your rescue dog is working through reactivity with a trainer. On walks, you need other dogs to stay back so you can practice calm behavior without triggering stress. The red flag gives you that space without awkward conversations.

ORANGE FLAG =
CAUTION / IN TRAINING

Please Ask Before Approaching

When to use:

  • Your dog is in training and needs controlled, planned interactions
  • Your dog is nervous, cautious, or unpredictable around strangers
  • You're working on socialization at your dog's pace
  • Your dog may be friendly but needs a slow introduction

What it signals to others:
"Please ask before approaching. My dog may need a slower introduction or isn't ready for free play yet."

Real-world example:
Your puppy loves other dogs but gets overexcited and jumps. You're teaching calm greetings. The orange flag lets other owners know to check in with you first so you can manage the interaction properly.

GREEN FLAG = FRIENDLY & APPROACHABLE

We're Friendly - Come Say Hello!

When to use:

  • Your dog loves meeting other dogs and people
  • Your dog is well-socialized and has an approachable temperament
  • You're happy for others to approach and interact
  • Your dog is looking for playmates and social time

What it signals to others:
"We're friendly! Feel free to say hello, let your dog approach, and enjoy a positive interaction."

Real-world example:
Your golden retriever lives for meeting other dogs at the park. The green flag saves you from shouting "She's friendly!" fifty times a walk—everyone already knows.

Dogs aren't robots. They have good days and bad days. They get tired. They feel anxious. They have energy bursts.

That's why Wag Flags are interchangeable.

Morning Walk

Your dog is energetic, well-rested, and social. Green flag.

Afternoon Walk

Your dog is tired from playing all day and just wants a quiet stroll. Red flag.

Training Session

You're working on recall and need controlled distractions. Orange flag.

Swap your flag in 5 seconds with easy velcro attachment. No tools. No hassle. Just match your flag to your dog's mood and walk with confidence.

Keep your spare flag in the storage bag. Swap as needed. Walk safer.
