This page is for a single dog. Making a sign of a cat or another pet, your dog holding something (a bird, a duck call), more than one pet, a person in it, or a whole scene? Those come out great — but we hand-craft and approve them, so please send those through Custom orders instead of here.
1

Choose your style

Pick the closest — we trace your dog's actual pose from the photo you upload, so this just helps us set things up.

Finish (raw or painted) is chosen at checkout, so you can see what each one does to the price.

Add your dog's photo

This matters most

Your photo is your sign. We trace the exact photo you upload — a sharp, bright, close-up photo becomes a crisp, detailed sign; a blurry, dark, or far-away photo comes out rough. Pro or well-lit phone photos turn out fantastic — low-quality photos simply can't. Use the best, highest-resolution photo you have.

  • One dog, up close — fill the frame, not far away in the yard
  • Bright & sharp — daylight beats dark, blurry or backlit
  • Plain background reads best — grass & clutter confuse the trace
  • Skip far-away shots, heavy crops, blur, and multi-dog photos

Our engine is powerful but not perfect — the clearer and better-lit your photo (dog facing the camera, good light, simple background), the better your steel sign turns out. Not happy with the preview? It's free, and you can ask for a redo before you ever pay.
