Dog in Yard Signs Are a Practical Priority

Who was playing fetch with the dog?

One day as I sat at my desk and looked outside, I saw my dog playing fetch, but I was the only family member home.

Who was playing fetch with the dog?

I left my office and headed to the yard. It turns out the dog’s playmate was a meter reader for the electric company. The meter reader was happy that as he entered the yard our family dog did not bark, growl or appear aggressive. Our dog simply got a soggy tennis ball, hoping for a playmate.

While relieved, I learned a lot from that meter reader. I became anxious for a sign to let future meter readers and other visitors know of our dog’s possible presence. Searching pet supply,hardware and garden stores I found only the “junkyard dog” style signs.

I knew that those signs were not a great idea.

With 58 million dogs, nearly 5 million dog bites annually, why was there nothing suitable for my home or my dog? After months of searching, I went ahead and developed a new line of signs
