Dogs are funny. They steal socks, judge your dinner choices and sulk when you go out without them. So it makes sense that the art we hang about them should be funny too. Funny dog wall art is the perfect way to show off your love of dogs without filling the house with soppy portraits. It makes guests laugh, it makes you smile on a grey Monday, and it captures the real personality of life with a dog.
This guide is split into two camps: the sarcastic, cheeky prints with attitude, and the gently funny ones that are more charm than cheek. At the end you will find tips on where to hang them and who they suit as a gift.
A quick word on tone
Funny comes in many flavours. Some of the prints below feature a playful middle finger. They are hilarious in the right place, such as a home office, a games room or a friend's flat, but you might choose something gentler for a hallway where grandparents come and go. Think about who sees the wall most often, then pick your level of sass.
The sarcastic squad: "Sorry My Dog Said No"
These are for the owner who uses their dog as an excuse to skip things. Busy? Tired? Not feeling it? The dog said no.
The original sassy pup
The Funny Dog Sarcastic Quote print features a cool dog in sunglasses, sticking out its tongue and giving a playful middle finger. The bold "SORRY MY DOG SAID NO" text is a universally relatable excuse. It is a guaranteed conversation starter in a living room, home office or bedroom.
The minimalist line art version
If you prefer a cleaner look, the Funny Sassy Dog Line Art print says the same thing in minimalist line art. A cool canine in shades makes its feelings very clear, beside the same iconic phrase. The simple lines make it easy to fit into a modern scheme.
The French Bulldog edition
Frenchie owners know their dog has the most attitude of all. The French Bulldog Said No print shows a cool Frenchie in stylish shades delivering a sassy, unambiguous "no". It is the perfect visual for days when you just are not feeling it.
Fetch This
The Fetch This Dog print is a minimalist dog in sunglasses with a sassy middle finger gesture and a whole lot of "Fetch This" attitude. It is bold, cheeky and a little no-nonsense. It suits anyone with a dry sense of humour and a playful side.
Gently funny dog wall art
Not every joke needs a gesture. These prints are funny because they are so true to life, or because the dogs look so pleased with themselves.
The gatekeeper
The Dachshund Dog Approved Guests print stars a dachshund lounging in a cosy armchair, with a warm mug and a bone waiting nearby. It is a sweet reminder of who really runs the house. It is made for the hallway or porch, so every visitor knows they must pass the sniff test.
The serial chiller
The Chilled French Bulldog Wine Lover print shows a Frenchie in a bathrobe, beret and sunglasses, sipping wine from a plush armchair. "SERIAL CHILLER" says it all. It is the dog who has mastered self-care better than any of us, and it looks right at home in a living room or snug.
The flat-pack Frenchie
Anyone who has carried a dog in a shopping bag will love the French Bulldog IKEA Bag Pop Art print. A black French Bulldog peeks out of a bright blue Frakta bag against a lively green background. The lino print style blends pop art with everyday humour.
The dapper dogs
Some dogs are funny simply because they are dressed better than their owners. The Cool Dachshund Red Glasses print shows a sausage dog with swagger, wearing red glasses and a patterned floral shirt. It brings retro charm and a big personality to any room.
Its partner in style, the Cool Great Dane Floral Shirt print, features a Great Dane in a flamboyant floral shirt and sassy red sunglasses, painted with bold brushstrokes on a striking blue background. Hang the two side by side for a very well-dressed double act.
And for a touch of French flair, the Bonjour French Bulldog Cowboy Boots print shows a black Frenchie striking a pose in red cowboy boots, politely greeting you with "BONJOUR". It is a fun mix of French charm and Wild West attitude.
Where to hang funny dog prints
- Hallway or porch: the Approved Guests dachshund is the obvious welcome sign.
- Home office: a "Sorry My Dog Said No" print is a perfect reply to the next unwanted video call.
- Living room: the Serial Chiller or the dapper dogs work well above a sofa, either alone or as a pair.
- Near the dog bed: hang one at your eye level, not theirs. They will not appreciate it as much as you do.
- Utility or boot room: where leads and muddy towels live, a funny print makes wet walks feel a bit better.

Sizes and frames
Our prints are made on museum-quality paper in A4 (21x29.7 cm), 45x60 cm and 60x90 cm, unframed or framed in white, black or light wood. Quote prints often look best in black frames, which make the text crisp. Painterly pieces like the Great Dane suit light wood. For a pair, choose the same frame and size so they read as a set.
Funny dog wall art as a gift
These prints make brilliant presents for new puppy owners, dog walkers, dog groomers and anyone whose phone wallpaper is their dog. Match the breed if you can: a Frenchie print for a Frenchie owner, a sausage dog for a dachshund devotee. It shows you have been paying attention.
