Personalized Custom Teacher Dog Shirt with Photo and Grade

A personalized custom teacher dog shirt for the classroom that already knows your dog by name. Your pup’s photo prints in black and white, FOREVER sits on top in big gold letters, your grade level runs underneath in gold, and your teacher name is signed in white script.

How to make your dog teacher shirt

Choose tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie and your size.
Pick a shirt color that works for school days.
Upload your dog’s photo, then type your teacher name and grade in the text box.
Check out. Completed example: Mrs Reed, Second Grade. The script reads Mrs Reed and the gold line reads IN SECOND GRADE, under your dog instead of our doodle.

Why the dog belongs on the first-day outfit

Teacher shirts are all apples, pencils and the same pun
The kids ask about your dog daily and only see phone photos
Teacher appreciation gifts pile up as mugs and gift cards

Kids remember the teacher with the dog, and teachers know it. Your pup prints in black and white with FOREVER on top and your grade underneath in gold, plus your name in white script, so it reads FOREVER IN SECOND GRADE with your dog as the star.

What does the design look like?

The sample stars a fluffy doodle in round glasses at a school desk, with a stack of books, a jar of pencils and a red apple, looking very ready for spelling tests.

Together the gold lines read FOREVER IN SECOND GRADE, which makes the dog the permanent class mascot. Kindergarten, fourth grade or middle school science fit the same space.

A face looking straight at the camera works best. If your dog will tolerate glasses or a bandana for one photo, it’s worth the bribe.

Who it’s for

She’s the teacher whose class asks about her dog before they ask about her weekend. Usually she buys it for herself before the first day of school, or her husband sneaks it into the back-to-school bag.

The dog mom teacher

You share a pet photo every Monday anyway, so wearing your dog to class saves you pulling out your phone.

A husband or roommate

Slip it into her back-to-school bag, since the dog is the one thing she talks about more than her students.

Room parents

When you’re collecting for teacher appreciation week, a photo of her own pup beats the fifth mug on her desk.

A grade-level team

Each teacher uploads her own dog and the team matches on field day, which makes the hallway photo a lot more fun.

Teachers on the first day

If you want a first-day-of-school outfit the kids will talk about, your dog front and center does the job.

Fabric, fit and size chart

Classroom temperatures swing, so there are four adult options. The Comfort Colors 1717 tee is 6.1 oz, garment-dyed, 100% ring-spun cotton, relaxed unisex, S to 4XL. The 1566 crewneck handles drafty hallways in 80/20 fleece, S to 3XL.

The 1567 hoodie, S to 2XL, is preshrunk with a jersey-lined hood, matching drawcord and pouch pocket for dry-erase markers. Fleece fits relaxed in your usual size and oversized one or two sizes up. Measurements live on our size guide.

The fourth is the 6014 long sleeve, S to 3XL. For anyone smaller, the same dog print can go on the 9018 youth tee (XS to XL) or the Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie (2T to 5/6T).

Your dog’s photo is printed DTF or DTG, depending on which garment you choose.

Teacher questions

Does it have to say second grade?

No. Type your own grade or subject, like Kindergarten or 7th Grade Science, along with your teacher name. Both print exactly as typed.

Can a whole grade team order with different dogs?

Yes. Each teacher orders her own shirt, uploads her own dog and types her own name, so the team matches in style while every pup gets a turn.

Could the dog wear a school district logo or a cartoon costume?

We’d have to say no. Logos, brand names, team marks and characters aren’t printed, and neither are celebrities, rappers or public figures. Upload a photo of your own pet; anything else means the order is canceled and refunded.
