Spotlight on our partners
The Professional Yellow Army
Featuring ethical pet professionals who champion our dogs in yellow and their owners.
This page celebrates the dedicated professionals who form our professional Yellow Army. Each partner plays a vital role in helping us raise awareness for anxious dogs and the #DogsInYellow movement. By sharing knowledge, resources, and the simple message that yellow means a dog needs space, our partners give owners the confidence to be seen, understood, and respected.
From trainers and behaviourists to groomers, vets, and other trusted dog professionals, these partners lead with kindness, compassion, and 100% positive methods. They are more than just supporters - they are advocates, educators, and a vital lifeline for owners who often feel judged or misunderstood.
Together, we are building a network of safe spaces, trusted guidance, and practical tools to help anxious dogs and their humans thrive. This spotlight is our way of recognising and celebrating the incredible businesses who proudly stand with us as part of the Professional Yellow Army.
