Go to Acme Junkyard and talk to Bubba. Ok, I'm sorry, sometimes I can't help being a smart***. My recomendation would be to purchase a video system. It's easier to maintain, less work and a lot less liability.

Any behavior that is reinforced is more likely to occur again.
We have a dog that is exactly what you describe in the shelter. BUT, he is nothing more than a liability. Dog is total azz behind any fence/cage, large, black, but can't be around people or small children. To add to it, he is dumb as a box of rocks and oversized too...
This dog is NOT a protective dog. He has a screw loose. There is a difference in the two. The only thing I can say is that anyone who comes through a fence with a 30 inch black nervey GSD needs to be shot anyway.
So, um... yeah... my point was David is correct. Swans make good alarms as well if you want some sort of noise/watchdog in addition to the cameras.
IMO dogs that pace a fence are bored or nervous. You dont want a dog to be trained to be like that. Just get a dog that likes to be outside and train it to bark.
A side note, my brother has a dogue de bordueax and its an incredible watch dog. ITs only 7 months old and whenever the other dogs in the yard are doing somethng dangerous or get themselves in trouble he barks at teh window where teh people are in the house. He is not one bit vicous. My dog was in the frozen pool yesterday and this pup started barking to alarm us. Its hilarous cause this bordeaux literally sounds like a seal when it barks.
Get yourself a JRT (Jack Russell Terrier) *LOL*, or better still, get 2!.
My female alerts & the male goes to investigate. If it's worth us going to have a look, they come and get us!.
Seriously, friends of ours have 2 JRT's too, and they heard the dogs barking during the night & thought no more about it. In the morning they found footprints leading from the gates (someone had jumped over), then skid marks, followed by retreating footprints back to the gate (they jumped back over!).
Geese are pretty good watch birds too!
No one would normally plan to fail, but plenty of us fail to plan!
I have a new puppy shepherd. I play train with him for a few minutes several times a day. I use bait work him in a fenced yard. He does sitz,
platz and comes when called. With coming he will sit close to me right in front. I use bait as a reward. When should I introduce him to a lead.. right now I use a trat to direct him in what i want. i do have a collar on him
Thank you Ray
