I still go with a generic "No Trespassing" sign posted on my gate - it gives fair warning that you do not want somebody coming onto your propery without opening yourself to needless legal hassle.
A six foot tall fence with a locked gate and a "No Trespassing" sign should make any claim of negligence on your part a moot point.
And if they're on my property after all that, the dog may well be the least of their worries.......

I saw a great gsd sign online that said "I can make it to the fence in 2.8 seconds. CAN YOU?" Thought that was a pretty good one! However, with the morons out there these days, they just might take that as a challenge for a Jack A$$ movie or something.

I think I'll design a pic of a GSD pointing a 44 magnum with the caption under it saying "Nuff Said!!"
Howard, when you get them ready for print, let me know.....I want 1 or more of them...... They would be great for the back window of my vehicle as well......
Also, I agree with Will in his post about "NO Trespassing" signs. That would seem the most logical way to go.

A "No Trespassing " sign and a lock on all you gates. Your cutiledge is secure and you have nothing to worry about .
Unless you are a business and you have a guard dog inside the Fence. Im sure you would have to have beware of dog signs up then,probably need a guard dog tag or registartion too, you could find that in your county ordinance.
Stop making excuses for your dog and start training it!
In Dallas, particularly in this apartment complex, I was required to have the sign "Beware of Dog" posted on the fence. The lady in the front office said the sign is to notify people there is a dog present, nothing more. If they choose to open the fence, then they are trespassing. They willingly trespass with notification that a dog is present.
Personally, I am more fond of the sign that reads "Forget the dog, beware of owner" and shows a double-barrel shotgun. Alas, such a sign is not popular here in the city.

"Beware of Dog" sign opens the door to legal liability in the event of a dog bite.
If the point is to notify others that a dog is present, nothing more...The sign should say just that...
No Trespassing
Dog on Property or...
Dog on Premises or...
German Shepherd Inside(like Amber suggested)
"No Trespassing" by itself with a fence is preferred. If you choose to mention the dog do not use words like "BEWARE" or "BAD DOG" or ANYTHING that can imply dangerous and might bite. I believe someone else made this point clear in another post.

The lady in the front office knows nothing about legal ramifications. She's certainly not a trustworthy source. And unless that particular "Beware of Dog" sign is required by law, I don't see how anyone can require that you post it.

It was strongly suggested to me that I put up a sign as well. I found a sign that said "Dog on Premises". I figured that since it made no reference to the temperament of the dog in question, it was okay. It merely states 'hey, there's a dog here; do what you will". Am I foolish in believing that it's 'safe'?
