    Training a Transylvanian Hound To Be a Watch Dog

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

    A watch dog merely informs their owner to someone approaching their home. Even if your dog isn't a police dog, 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.
