Do you have a dog? Is he friendly? Do you wish there were signs you could post for liability issues that don’t give the impression of a vicious, rabid, crazy attack animal? Yeah, me too.

That’s why I was so excited to learn about a company that produces signs designed for the vast majority of dog people who want to alert people that the fur babies are playing outside without going so far as a “Beware of Dog” warning.

I was interested in finding dog in yard signs that more accurately reflected the sweet dispositions my little guys display. I didn’t want to warn people that canine teeth were just lurking around, waiting to chomp into their ankles; I simply wanted them to make sure they didn’t leave the gates open if they cut through the yard instead of walking all the way around the block.

Accidents are always possible, of course, and if posting signs will reduce my chances of being sued, I’ll do it. But I don’t want a big, ugly, scary warning thing, either. Enter DogInYard dot com.

This company produces high-quality signs for dog lovers that are both informative (Hey, there’s a dog in here!) and attractive (as you can see for yourself). In fact, I’m proud to display it on my fence! I’ll be hanging it on the gate this weekend.

As you can see from the photo, my sign is blue, and it’s for more than one dog. But you can get a single dog sign if you would prefer that, and there’s sure to be a color that matches or complements your landscape. They’re available in blue, green and brown, and DogInYard dot com even supplies mounting materials designed to work with your fencing materials at no extra charge. I got cable ties because my fence is chain link. If your fence is made of wood, you’ll get brass screws.

What’s more, dealing with this company is a real pleasure. Within five minutes of placing my order, I received a personal email thanking me and confirming that I had ordered just what I wanted. They don’t take credit cards, but they’ll ship your sign before they even get your check. So if you want to protect your furry friends in a classy way, check these folks out. Like me, you’ll be glad you did.
