   Dogs can make a great "alarm" however if you have an older dog whose hearing may be going then you're better off with a monitored system. A monitored system will be your best bet plus you may get discounts on your homeowners insurance. If you do get a dog be sure to check that the dog breed you select is included in your homeowners policy. Typically insurance agencies won't cover you for dog bites if you have a rottie, pitbull or other dog that can be aggressive on occasion.

   Dogs are the absolute best home security systems. However, several things to take seriously: Contact your home insurance people and find out the policy coverage. Some policies don't cover you for certain breeds at all ..sheppards, pitbulls, akida...my policy at USAA does cover all breeds BUT they say if my dog bites once I'm covered, then get rid of the dog because they won't cover a dog that has been identified as a biter. As far as breed selection, ask kennel workers and vets. Dog breeders will always be biased.
