    Training a Chorkie To Be a Watch Dog

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

    A watch dog just simply alerts their owner to somebody coming close to their property. Even when your pet dog isn't a police canine, most barking dogs will discourage an intruder even if they aren't big. Most guard dogs also make wonderful watch dogs, but not all watch dogs make great guard dogs.
