Same goes for druggies looking for anything they can get their hands on to sell. They're not professionals, they have short attention spans and will get discouraged easily if you've done things right. </p><p><br /></p><p> You can make things very hard, frustrating and time consuming to a potential thief if you want to. Probably to the point where most would be discouraged. You have to want to do it though and take it seriously.

They will test the dog if they think nobody's home because more dogs are friendly than not. If you think about it, that's really true. If somebody has a violent dog at their house that attacks anybody that comes in, they'd have to be a hermit or get rid of the dog.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
