Walking a dog often means answering the same questions again and again.

Unlike bandanas and lead covers that are worn by the dog, communication T-shirts allow owners and handlers to communicate important information even before others notice the dog.

Billabone's Dog Communication T-Shirts help communicate your dog's needs clearly before someone approaches. Designed to be worn by owners, handlers, trainers and dog walkers, these colour-coded T-shirts help create awareness and encourage safer interactions between dogs and the public.

Whether your dog needs space, is in training, loves meeting new people or has special requirements, our communication T-shirts help others understand your dog at a glance.

Colour-coded dog communication products are widely recognised and increasingly used around the world to improve awareness, safety and responsible interactions.
