    Training a Hamilton Hound To Be a Watch Dog

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

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

    1. Doberman Pinscher - The Doberman Pinscher is German breed initially used for guarding, police and military work. They are big, powerful dogs that will notify their owners to doubtful activity and can make good guard dogs as well.

    2. Cairn Terrier - Although little, the Cairn Terrier is intense. They are strong-willed, fiery little terriers that are very observant of their settings and will alert their owners to any novel activity in no time. Due to this, they make outstanding 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 great choice for beginner pet dog owners.

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

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