    Training a Perro de Presa Mallorquin To Be a Watch Dog

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

    A watch dog simply alerts their owner to someone approaching their property. Even though 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 wonderful watch dogs, but not all watch dogs make great guard dogs.
