Dog signs

Dogs are man’s best friend and one of the most common pets. In addition to being sociable, dogs can perform a variety of tasks. Dogs can be an aid in everything from surveillance and tracking to acting as a guide dog for the blind. A wide range of dog signs can match each unique situation.

“Beware of the dog” or “Welcome to the dog”?

One classic sign is the “Beware of the dog” sign. This serves as a warning to guests, but also as a signal against potential burglars that a dog is guarding the home.  If you want a more personal, gentler sign, you can choose a sign with text such as “Beware of the charming dog”. A sign like that may not be as off-putting, but clear enough that people afraid of dogs will be extra cautious when they come in.

A dog sign with the opposite effect is a name sign for a dog. These are fitted to a dog kennel and welcome guests to the dog’s home. How do you want guests (both welcome and unwelcome) to perceive your dog? Use that as the basis to design your dog sign.
