Therapy Dog Door Signs – Clear Communication

Therapy Dog Door Signs – Keep Your Classroom Calm & Organized 🐶🚪

A therapy dog in school is wonderful—but clear communication makes it even better!

When a therapy dog is part of your school, it’s important that everyone—students, teachers, and visitors—knows how to interact appropriately. Sometimes the dog is available for visits, sometimes resting, and other times they need a quiet space to recharge.

Instead of constantly reminding students when it’s okay to interact, these removable door signs do the work for you!

With simple, easy-to-read messages, these signs help set clear expectations so that students respect the therapy dog’s needs while still enjoying all the benefits of having one at school.

🐾 Why These Signs Are Helpful for Any Therapy Dog Program

✔ Prevents classroom disruptions – No more students knocking or entering at the wrong time.
✔ Helps students learn respect – Teaches kids to recognize when the therapy dog needs rest.
✔ Perfect for schools, counseling offices, and classrooms – Works anywhere a school therapy dog is present.
✔ Easy to switch – The signs are removable, so you can update them as needed throughout the day.
✔ Kid-friendly design – Simple words and visuals make it easy for even young students to understand.
