I've never seen this, and I wonder if it's a thing, or if it Family Handyman just making things up. There are so many secret codes like this that they're worthless. Even the article says that ribbon actually means nothing. That comment about the red dog collar? Ridiculous!

[i]This system is a great way to indicate which dogs like to be petted by strangers or don’t mind being butt-sniffed by their canine counterparts, and which dogs need a little more space. Just like a red dog collar is a sign of an aggressive dog, a yellow ribbon on a dog collar or leash is a big clue to that dog’s temperament. But what exactly is an owner or pet trying to tell you with that yellow bandanna or ribbon?[i/]

Well, that would be better than a red collar.

I don't know about any of these, but I do know what a red ribbon on a horse's tail means.

Hummm Have never heard of that, does that mean that it's loaded and ready to fire? or subject to kicking?
