[quote=Anonymous]I also say dog. The biggest advantage of a dog is that it will weed out all the little noises you hear as nothing. Dogs are extremely good at sensing something out of the ordinary and any approach by a stranger vs all the mundane noises of the house. Therefore, you feel safe taking cues from the dog. If the dog is relaxed and lounging, you are all good. My german sheperd will also run to wherever she hears a stranger coming (usually Amazon delivery) and start growling. She is an extremely mellow and sweet dog but that growl scares even me sometimes. I have no doubt it would deter intruders. Would she actually do anything if someone broke in? No idea but deterrence and alarm is really what you need. Plus, intruders usually will scout out the neighborhood and find a target. They will likely avoid the ones with a dog hanging out in the backyard. [/quote]
