Realistic Guard Dog?

Dogs can be a good early warning system.  The only time my house was broken into was between the loss of my dog and her replacement.  Just like the presence of an alarm serves as a deterrent, thieves will move on to an easier target in most cases.  A barking dog, real or not, certainly doesn't hurt.

I have a little sign on my front door in both Spanish and English that states:

Smile, your on camera!

Now it's a home with 1. A recording studio and 2. Owned by a guy that has a van that says Up and Running Computer Services on the side.

Do not even think I couldn't figure out how to see you. 

I have a chow shepherd mix with the bark of many vicious dogs and everyone is afraid of her at first meeting.
But that little coda-puppy puppers wuppers goes with me everywhere.

Nice dog!

My dog has figured out the X10 chime means food is coming down the driveway!

Oh my that's funny cause at our house, the x10 chime means she is back from her business and needs in.
So in that instance WE are the trained.

Dut-Da, Dut-Da,Dut-Da!
