Liability with non-malicious trespassers in NY

I just put up a cheap gate for my 20' driveway entrance that consisted of 6' welded wire, a few 2x4s and attached to two 4x4 posts. Definitely not fancy, but will work for now.

I wish a sign like this one would actually work! It would solve so many problems...

In the process of looking for "dog on premesis" signs, I found some that are more specific and say "livestock guardian dog on duty" which both makes it clear that there is a dog, doesn't say anything that would get me in trouble, and provides more information to those who know what LGD means (which a certain problem population typically does).

you may not want smart people either.

Laws differ in every jurisdiction. That's why I'm not hazarding a guess here. Some cute ideas? Yes, I have those. Actually useful contribution? Not so much.

Best of luck.

FWIW, my electric fence stops my neighbor's hunting dogs. Iconsider it a good test of both the fence, and the intelligence of each year's batch of new puppies.

But I still walk the proterty armed during hunting season - loudly, and in "safety" colors. There are some two legged critters who seem oddly immune to 7,000v worth of "clue".

For several years we had people coming up our long driveway thinking it was a road. We put a "Private Drive" sign at the bottom of the driveway, So far it's worked. Otherwise I was going to add a "Your GPS is Wrong" sign to the post.

I once visited a mountain property where the two resident Great Danes had laminated mug shots on the gate: We Live here!
