Do you take "Beware of Dog" signs serious? - Page 6

LukasGSD · 01-19-2012, 04:25 PM

Well, I don't generally go around to other people's property. So neither. However, having had a stranger walk into my house at 5:00 am to wake up to Lukas standing on the front porch and the dip****s in their car across the street, I'd say they're not coming back. If they got bit, that was their own **** fault. Of course, not only is there Lukas but 3 other dogs barking in the background...

That's what we were advised, a Dog On Premises sign. Of course, our boy is only 3 months, and the older dog is just a noisemaker.

Yes particularly whilst working. Nothing like hopping a fence and ending up in a yard with a territorial free roaming dog.

Yes I do and I have one also, I want people to know that I have a dog and if you come onto my property its at your own risk.

good point but the sign is equivalent to an alarm sign.

This is the response I got from my lawyer.

If the dog bites better not have it. Sign won’t help. If dog is normal a sign that a dog is in yard would be a courtesy as some people are afraid of dogs period.

My personalized fence sign reads, "CCW" below that in smaller letters it reads, Caution, Canine Working!

Yes, and on a side note, the sign saved my parents from a lawsuit once. The water meter reader guy reached over our fence to unlock it, and our rat terrier jumped up and latched onto his hand requiring him to go to the hospital for stitches. Long story short, he tried to sue but the judge said he should have paid attention to the sign and knocked on the door instead...case thrown out.

I have an "I love sloppy kisses" sign up! But yes, if I see any sort of "dog lives here" sign I take precaution...
