Night Time Radar Station Defense:

[Bubba Kalashnikov]

Your dog's senses are several thousand more times powerful than a human's senses. According to Donna Pauley, the former leader of the Kanawha-Charleston Animal Shelter; criminals are preemptively neutralizing outside dogs prior to committing their crimes.

The dog is the radar station, and you are the flak gun. Acquire a cheap Mart-Mart dog carriers and layer the inside with old sale papers. Put the dog inside it at night and lock the door. Next morning, you let the dog outside again and feed and water it outside, too.

'Denning'-veterinarians tell us that dogs feel more secure in a cave like area. A plastic dog carrier replicates a cave when dogs are locked in. Of course, you buy a large enough crate to avoid making the dog uncomfortable. But denning also makes their barking more accurate, too. It's more liable to be an intruder than a fake alert.

Keep some paper towels and cheap disinfectant wipes, for if the dog messes in his crate, but you rapidly can clean it up, too. Remember: you with an AK-47 are mightier than a whole pack of dogs!
