Description
Communicate active dog presence using the internationally recognised yellow triangle warning format aligned with Australian safety standards. This sign alerts all visitors—from delivery personnel to contractors—that guard dogs are on duty, reducing liability and setting clear expectations. Available in four sizes (180×250 mm through 450×600 mm) to suit door plaques, gate installations, and perimeter fencing. Choose polypropylene for budget-conscious deployments, aluminium for weatherproof permanence, or self-adhesive vinyl for doors, windows, and smooth surfaces. Each format delivers the same bold warning message with high visibility. Bulk orders for multi-building organisations attract volume discounts. Delivery across Australia from our Sydney workshop ensures consistent signage across your estate.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Is the self-adhesive vinyl option suitable for glass doors?
Yes, the vinyl sticker adheres to clean glass, metal doors, and polished surfaces. Ensure the surface is dry and dust-free before application for best adhesion.
How does this differ from the 'Premises Patrolled' sign?
This sign uses the yellow triangle warning format and signals active duty; the patrol sign employs a security notice layout to indicate scheduled patrols. Choose based on whether dogs are continuously present or on timed circuits.
What's the smallest size suitable for a front door?
The 180×250 mm option is ideal for residential or office entry doors. The 225×300 mm size works well for gates and fence-mounted installations.
Do the pre-drilled holes work with all materials?
Yes. Four-corner pre-drilled holes are an optional extra with a base surcharge of $3.00 inc GST per sign for the listed configurations, before any applicable volume discount. Select the option to update the configured total before adding to cart.
