An example pet temperament indication may be provided on a harness or a leash. A symbol representative of one of a variety of pre-established pet temperaments may be provided to the harness and/or leash to allow for appreciating the temperament of a pet wearing the harness from a distance. The indication may include a first symbol if a pets temperament is friendly, a second symbol if the pets temperament is sometimes unfriendly, a third symbol if the pets temperament is unfriendly and providing a fourth symbol if the pets temperament is unclear or special. Any combination of symbols may also be used.
