Barking Dogs Deter Intruders
One of the best ways to keep criminals from invading your home is by having a dog present. I like to believe my dog saved my life many years ago when an intruder tried to enter my home in the early morning hours.
Sometimes a dog’s bark is worse than his bite, so they say. However, most intruders looking to break into a home to rob or attack will not venture inside if they hear the bark of a dog. Deep bark, yappy bark - it doesn’t matter. Just the noise is enough to scare someone off.
Intruders want to intrude in silence, undetected. A barking dog will foil that attempt and warn the home owners that something is wrong.
Dogs provide so many services to us. I think God was mighty generous when He gave us dogs to be our companions - to love us, comfort us, guide us through our blindness, but especially to protect us. My German Shepherd, Venus, was the one who protected me with her bark in the early morning hours so long ago.
But not everyone is suited to own a dog. Maybe your lifestyle just can’t support the needs of a dog, but you would like unwanted visitors to think you have a dog in the house. There really are devices out there that will do just that.
The Barking Dog Alarm System will detect an intruder through brick, cement, wood, glass, you name it. This is done by way of an electronic radar-wave sense control. It will then start barking like a very angry dog! The trespasser will be long gone before he ever knows if it is a real dog or not.
Of course the advantages of having an electronic barking dog rather than a live barking dog are in the long term cost. You pay a one time up front fee for the electronic dog. It may seem a little spendy, but compare it to a real live dog. You don’t have to buy food, pay for vet bills, have it groomed or board it when you’re out of town. In fact, you can leave town knowing that your electronic dog will be guarding your home until you return.
Once you have purchased the Electronic Barking Dog, your only other expenditure will be for batteries. You won’t have to hire someone to clean up what was once your back yard, or walk the dog after a long day at work, or find a place to put the pooper scooper. So maybe this is the way for you to go if you are not really into caring for a live dog or just don’t have the time, energy or money for one. It’s a great way to scare off intruders and can also be switched to a chime or an alarm instead of the bark. Protect your home and your family with whatever means are available.
I, on the other hand, could never live without dogs. But then, I would like to believe one did save my life once.
