Most people know about guard dogs. They can definitely make your home safer, but did you know you can also train your pup to be an alarm dog instead?

Guard dogs are trained to guard your family and your property. When properly trained, they will attack an intruder, and they can do some real damage. Although this is very effective when it comes to thieves, it can cause some problems when it comes to inviting new friends over to your home.

If you don’t like the idea of your dog feeling distrustful of strangers, train him to be an alarm dog instead! If your dog learns to bark when someone enters the home, it may be enough to scare a burglar away.
