    Training a Chinese Crested To Be a Watch Dog

    Many people get a canine because they want more security around their houses. A guard dog, or a canine that will actually stop an intruder, normally takes unique breeding and training, but there are many dogs that are exceptional watch dogs.

    A watch dog simply informs their owner to someone coming close to their home. Even though your dog isn't a police dog, most barking dogs will discourage an intruder even if they aren't big. Most guard dogs also make terrific watch dogs, but not all watch dogs make great guard dogs.
