Helpful guides
Where dogs must be on leash signs are used
A park maintenance crew puts one on the fence by the walking loop, where dogs first come in with their owners. An apartment manager hangs one beside the lawn path that leads from the parking lot to the building. A neighborhood trail association posts one at the trailhead where walkers and dogs start out. The sign sets the leash expectation at the spot where a dog and owner first step onto shared grass.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
The entry where dogs first walk in is the spot for the 24 by 18 inch size, and a post along the lawn edge suits the 12 by 18 inch size. Plastic is light, so grommets and zip ties suit a fence you may move in spring. Aluminum with corner holes is a steady outdoor choice for a park post that takes sun and rain. Reflective aluminum is for a path used at dusk. Before you post a leash rule in a public park, check your state and local rules.
Questions about dogs must be on leash signs
Can I add a line about picking up after dogs?
Yes. The sample line Please pick up after your dog prints under ON A LEASH, and you can type any other short line you need. The live preview shows how the lines fit together. Leash rules vary, so check your local rules before you print.
Which size fits a park entrance?
The 24 x 18 in landscape size reads from a walkway or a parking spot. The 12 x 18 in portrait size suits a post by a gate or a path entrance. A 12 x 12 in square fits a narrow spot on a fence.
Is plastic or aluminum better outdoors?
Aluminum is .040 in thick, rust-free, and has a gloss UV print, so it suits an outdoor post or fence. Plastic is lighter and flexible, printed on one side, with brass grommets for hanging. Pick aluminum for a post that faces weather.
Which color stands out on green grass?
White on red and white on blue stand out well against grass and trees. Black on yellow catches the eye from a distance, since yellow is one of the brightest backgrounds. Black on white keeps a plain, clean look that suits a shared lawn.
Do I need the extra line to explain the rule?
Not at all. Leave it off and the two printed lines carry the message on their own. If you want to point to a trouble spot, a short note such as Leash at all times near the pond will do.
