    Training a Bull Arab To Be a Watch Dog

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

    A watch dog basically alarms their owner to somebody coming close to their house. Even when your pet dog isn't a police dog, most barking dogs will deter an intruder even if they aren't big. Most guard dogs also make terrific watch dogs, but not all watch dogs make good guard dogs.

    Top 5 Best Guard Dogs

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

    2. Cairn Terrier - Although small, the Cairn Terrier is intense. They are strong-willed, fiery little terriers that are really observant of their environments and will alert their owners to any novel activity in no time. Because of this, they make exceptional watch dogs.

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

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

    5. Akita - They will quickly alert their owners to any uncommon activity. They are strong dogs that are not well-suited for the beginner owner, but are almost unparalleled in their loyalty to their owners.
