Guard Dogs
Guard dogs are a popular choice amongst animal lovers looking to add some extra security to your home. While a dog may not completely replace the benefits of a home security system and plan, training guard dogs can be help keep not only your house safe, but your family safe when you're out with the dog.
According to The Personal Security Handbook, the best guard dogs are Chow Chows, Doberman Pinschers, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Bull Mastiffs, Rottweilers, and German Shephers. The reason these dogs are superior choices is because they have built-in instincts for guarding the home. Their size and deep resonant barks make a great burglar deterrent.
Since guard dogs are potentially dangerous animals, they need special training. Breeds that make the best guard dogs have a strong self-preservation instinct which makes them likely to attack if they feel they are being confronted. They aren't as tolerant of teasing or abuse as other breeds. For this reason, your guard dog should have professional training. Ultimately, you want an animal that you can easily control but that is territorial about your property.
