    Training a Pumi To Be a Watch Dog

    A lot of people get a pet dog because they want more security around their households. A guard dog, or a canine that will actually stop an intruder, generally takes special breeding and training, but there are many dogs that are excellent watch dogs.

    A watch dog basically informs their owner to somebody coming close to their home. Even if your dog isn't a police canine, 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.

    Top 5 Best Guard Dogs

    1. Doberman Pinscher - The Doberman Pinscher is German breed originally used for protecting, police and military work. They are large, strong dogs that will notify their owners to suspicious activity and can make very good guard dogs as well.

    2. Cairn Terrier - Although small, the Cairn Terrier is mighty. They are strong-willed, feisty little terriers that are quite watchful of their settings and will alarm their owners to any novel activity in no time. Due to this, they make excellent watch dogs.

    3. Rottweiler - The Rottweiler is a huge German guard dog breed that is deeply loyal to its family but wary of strangers. However, they are not a good choice for novice pet dog owners.

    4. German Shepherd - They are terrific guard dogs that will alert their owners of any strangers just a little too close to their homes.

    5. Akita - They will quickly alarm their owners to any unusual activity. They are powerful dogs that are not well-suited for the inexperienced owner, but are almost unparalleled in their loyalty to their owners.
