There is nothing unlawful about putting up a sign that says
"beware of
the dog".

A few years ago there was a case where a dog attacked someone in a
chap's back garden. He argued that the dog was normally docile and
wasn't a guard dog as such but the fact that he had a "beware of the
dog" sign on his gate (as a deterrent to intruders) was taken as
evidence that he really thought the dog might be dangerous and he had
to pay damages to the intruder. IIRC the court nearly ordered the
dog's destruction but was persuaded not to.


Which still does not make it illegal to put up the sign.

Just **** off then.
I have tried to please your ****ed up ego.
