Well it would only be used when we're on a walk, and it would only help me when I'm not looking down. But if the doggie decides to stop dead in the path without warning, I will and have fallen (whats' that expression? arse over cups?) Thank you for your time. d

If you have to be actively looking down to see if your dog is stopped in front of you, you must have a very tiny dog. My fiance's tiny Shiba-Inu mutt used to do that to me pretty frequently. So I just quit stopping for him. He's since learned that if he stops in front of me he'll just get booted out of my way, and as a result stops in front of me much less frequently now. Of course, I rarely take him for walks anyway because he's so damn scared of everything. I use a retractable leash, and every time the button clicks he shrieks like he's being eaten alive. So I just don't walk him anymore. But hey, that's just me. |

My dog always does that to me. Maybe I should have a doggy horn and honk him each time he performs his emergency stop in front of me. |

are you saying that you'd trip over the dog? that makes sense. perhaps an audible motion sensor. |

<pedant> sp. Brake Lights ("Break Lights" is confusing, and means something entirely different.) </pedant> |

Well in this case "brake" and "break" are not so
different. It's apparent to this fellow dog walker
that the poor pooch is just signaling for a break.
So putting on the brakes is the only way to
convey this message. |

Maybe if you had planned breaks for puppy. Say
every 10 feet or so. This way you should both
have a swell time. Place treats and water along
the path and a little doggy chair, and you should
be good to go. (oh yeah, feel free to add human
touches too like Freetos chips and dip for you.) |

Doh! Maybe I should have read it as "Break Lites." (mumble, mumble.) |

Thanks [csea] and [bliss.], I did mean brake altho it can be both. He, being male, stops about every 10 steps anyway to tinkle, so I have been trained to shuffle on the first 15 minutes of our walk, and afterwards I shorten up on the lease and insist he walk with me. He is pretty short, a corgi. |

We got corgi...oh my. Drinks my coffee etc. etc.
etc. The most devious dog I've ever seen. Cute
though. Buggar! |
