Dogs are not just furry companions—they can also be excellent deterrents for burglars. When you see that someone has a dog in his/her home, are you more cautious of how you approach the dog, especially if it’s the first time you’re meeting the pet? Well, burglars do the same if they’re wise. Who wants to be bitten by a dog, and why would a criminal risk the chance of waking up the entire neighborhood? A watchdog can be an effective and eco-friendly security system as opposed to installing brand new surveillance cameras, alarms, etc.
First, it’s beneficial if you understand the difference between a watchdog and a guard dog. A Chihuahua qualifies as a watchdog, because it would most likely alert you if a stranger entered the home or if there was a loud noise downstairs. This is the main role of a watchdog. However, if you want a dog that would restrain or injure an assailant, then you’re more in the market for a guard dog.
So what do you look for in a dog? Obviously, you want a dog that has a sense of his/her territory. The dog should also be aggressive, strong, courageous, protective and a good listener. There may be other qualities you have in mind too. For example, the dog shouldn’t be too friendly around everybody; strangers should not be able to easily sway the dog.
The following are some dogs that you might consider for a guard dog: Bull Mastiff, Doberman Pinscher, Rottweiller, Komodor, Puli, Giant Schnauzer, German Shepherd, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kuvasz, American Staffordshire Terrior, Chow Chow, Belgian Sheepdog, Belgian Teruven, Dogo Argentino, Tosa Inu, South-African Boerboel, Neopolitan Mastiff and Bulldog, Cane Corso, Bouvier des Flandres, Thai Ridgebacks and Beauceron.
The following are some dogs that you might consider for a watchdog: Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Yorkshire Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Chihuahua, Airdale Terrier, Poodle, Boston Terrier, Shih Tzu, Dachshund, Silky Terrier, Smooth Fox Terrier, Wire Fox Terrier and Miniature Pinscher. Fortunately, there are many other dogs that meet the criteria for a guard dog and watchdog.
The most important parts about training your dog are to include the entire family in the training and to form a strong bond with the animal. It’s best to seek a professional dog trainer so that you learn the proper way to teach your pet tricks and reprimand him/her for bad behavior. Living a green lifestyle includes compassion, and there are so many dogs in need of good homes.
My dog has blessed himself with a gentle soul from a kind ancestor. I’ve only recently trained her to bark around produce so that I may encounter a good deal now and then.
Is it not amazing what dogs are capable of now ? I’d wager a weeks pay that dogs are advanced yet humans are in decline.
Its a sad state of affairs when you look your own dog in the eye and there’s nothing to say but ”I’m sorry”.
