Best Answer

A dog would seem like a good choice to provide protection for your family; however, a dog may attack someone who is new to them or appears to be a threat, but is not really an intruder. Information shows that in the majority of "protective" dog attacks the victims were, in fact, not intruders and 7 out of 10 times they were actually just children! These statistics are scary and anyone considering a guard dog may want to reconsider their options, especially if you have children in your home.

Can your dog legally bite a burglar?

It may depend on what legal jurisdiction you are in. I wouldn't be surprised at all if some states or locales have made it a crime to defend your home with a pooch or a pistol. To get a definitive answer, contact your local police department and see if you can get it in writing.I wouldn't count on a dog as a really GOOD burglar deterrent, as it's too easy to toss the canine a distracting treat of some type and then pole-axe it with a baseball bat or other weapon. And then you're out both the family silverware, AND a good dog.In California, your dog may legally attack an intruder. But if your dog trespasses onto the burglar's territory, the story changes significantly.

How to Avoid False Alarms with New Burglar Alarm Systems?

False alarms are not only a nuisance, they can cost money. If you have a new burglar alarm system, knowing how to work it and keep false alarms to a minimum is crucial. Here are a few simple tips. 1. Educate the Household The first step in avoiding false alarms is to be sure everyone in the household knows how to operate the alarm system. Make sure everyone knows the code or password for the keypad. Also make sure everyone knows if any keys need to be pressed before or after an alarm is triggered. Some keypads require you to hit a clear button, others a pound sign. Test everyone on this once a month to be sure it remains fresh in their minds. 2. Repair Doors and Windows A sticky latch on a door or a window that doesn’t close completely can trigger burglar alarm systems. To avoid this keep all windows and doors in good repair. If you notice a problem, fix it immediately. 3. Plants and Decor Take note of where the sensors are placed throughout your home. Keep plants and other decorations away from the sensors. A small breeze from a door opening, or your hvac system can cause plants and other hanging objects to sway, triggering a false alarm. Be aware of this during times of celebration, like birthdays or graduations. The decorations can trigger the alarm system. 4. Sensitivity When you have the alarm system installed, ask the installers how to adjust the sensitivity. If the system is overly sensitive, trees, brushes, and pets can trigger the system. Newer models of security systems will have a ’pet immunity’ option. With this, the system won’t trigger an alarm if it senses smaller than normal activity, such as a cat or dog running across a yard. 5. Cleanliness If your burglar alarm has motion sensors, keep the area near the sensors cleaned. Cobwebs and insects can cause the alarm to trigger. Rodents chewing through wiring can also trigger an unnecessary alarm.
