Evan, you must have a very big yard for it to take 3 minutes for your dogs to
get there or are they just not interested in chasing somebody.

Each state is different, and even some counties. When I went to law school,
if you were bit by a dog, there had to be scienter, meaning knowledge that
the dog was dangerous. So, in California, all dogs got one free bite.
Between law school and when I passed the bar, it changed to make all dog
bites "strict liability", meaning no matter what the reason, the owner is
responsible for any dog bites. There are exceptions such as if you are on the
property to commit a crime, or you harassed the dog. Maybe slathering
yourself with hamburger would also be an exception.
If you are in a state that still requires notice, then a sign could be that
notice. Check your local rules.
I always liked the sign that says, "My German shepherd Can Make it To The
Fence in Three Minutes. Can You?" Not a warning, just a sports question.

Back in the 70s,an obedience club sponsored a lecture on "dog law" by a
well-known attorney (and dog lover) in WNY. She told us under no
circumstances should we EVER put up a "Beware of Dog" sign. She informed us
that sign would be advertising that we already knew we harbored a dangerous
dog. Made sense. Never forgot. Alternative sign? No trespassing.
