Do I Need a Security System If I Have a Dog?

Almost everybody is happy to see a dog as they walk into a house, except the people who are breaking in. If you were to give a burglar the option between two houses and the only difference is one has a dog and the other doesn’t, one hundred out of one hundred times they will choose the house without the dog. The question is, does this mean you don’t need a security system if you already have a dog? Let’s get to the bottom on this….

Alerts

Dogs are incredible at hearing any little sound that comes from outside. They can sense an intruder before they even see with their own eyes. They can go from sleeping to barking in half a second if there is somebody walking on your property. The problem is they think just about anything outside is a potential intruder. Ranging from your neighbors, passing by cyclists, mail man, and even the cute little chipmunk in the yard. The security system is much better at distinguishing the difference between a real threat and a cute animal minding its own business. Also, another important trait our security system has is we are monitoring 24 hours 7 days a week. We will get you help when you need it at any time of the day or night.

Lock Doors

One downside for dogs in regards to your home protection, dogs don’t have thumbs. I know this sounds ridiculous but are you ever in a rush and forget to lock all your windows and doors? In about 1/3 of home burglaries, the burglar entered the home through an unlocked window or door. Your dog can’t lock the door if you forgot but with our home security system, you can lock all your doors with a touch of a button on your smartphone.

Fool Proof

In some cases, burglars come with a plan for the dog. It has happened where burglars have brought a steak to distract the dog. Fortunately, there is no steak good enough to distract a home security system. Even If the burglar attempts to break the security system, that would trigger an automatic alert to us and the police would be headed straight for your home.

Ultimately, having a dog helps deter criminals but doesn’t guarantee the safety of your family or valuables. A home security system allows you to have a piece of mind that your home is protected from the bad people in this world.

This blog is not anti-dog by any means. We still encourage you to get a dog because they are amazing life-long friends. A security system not only protects you but your dog also. We have pet protection services that allow you to keep an eye on your furry companion while you are away at work and anywhere else!
