No + singular form such as no friend, no pet, no dog, no bother,etc
My English teacher says no + singular form such as no friend, no pet, no dog, no bother,etc should be no friends, no pets, no brothers and no dogs, etc, because they are countable nouns. Do you agree with this? Thank you so much as usual.

This is rather pompous-sounding, but you might say: "No dog or cat shall enter these premises." or "No pet or roomate shall inhabit these premises." or "No friend or visitor shall remain on the premises after 11 PM."
