Reddit mentions of Service Dog Stop Sign WORKING - DO NOT PET While Working 3 x 5 inch Black Rim Sew-on Patch

Ah, okay. Glad to hear you're using a trainer! :)

Okay, I can definitely see why it would be hard to ask that of you. Unfortunately, (most) people are curious and are also ignorant about service dogs. If you live in an area that's familiar with them, it's a little bit more lax. But if not, people will come up and ask to pet and will ask you things. For someone with social anxiety, this is pretty much the only "downside" of having a service dog (I use the term "downside" very very loosely because there are so many more benefits).

Because she's a puppy (and more specifically because she still looks very puppy-ish), people will oodle. However, this will become less severe as she loses her puppy face. One thing I've also noticed is that people will doubt your disability when you have a young dog (more so than they doubt invisible disabilities anyway) because they don't think the dog is "well-trained enough" (If only they knew how much work goes into training them, right?)

I would suggest training her in a not-so-crowded and not-so-overwhelming area for both your sake and hers, but I'm obviously not your trainer, so I would definitely ask him/her for a more precise answer :).

So tl;dr, people oodling over her will get better as she grows into an adult.

edit: Also, if you think you want a more.. "all-inclusive" patch, you could try this one:

Eh, whatever. You people want to live like you're in a vacuum, go ahead. Other people exist, and (not really shockingly) not a lot of them know or care about "work dog" procedure.

It's not like they make - products - exactly - for - this - scenario.
