Will Barking Dog Alarm Deter Criminals?

Will a barking dog alarm replace the real thing? I will like to tell you that it does, but the truth of the matter is, I really don’t know! In researching the various dog alarms that are being marketed I wasn’t able to find any unbiased information out there that say’s anything one way or the other.

What I can tell you though, there are some very reputable companies out there selling these dog alarms. They are also offering a 100% money back guarantee if you are not fully satisfied with the product. In light of this, I would certainly think it would be worth your while to purchase a barking dog alarm and see first hand how well they actually work.

Security specialists as well as your local police will all tell you that a barking dog is a very effective deterrent that will scare off burglars & just about anyone else.

The three most heavily advertised Dog Alarms out there are:

• The first Barking Dog Alarm, is called Robo-Dog & it is an X10 product which sells for about $60.00 us.

• The second Barking Dog Alarm is called Rex. The sales copy states that Rex viciously barks like an aggressive German Shepherd. This model depending where its purchased, will run you anywhere between $70.00 & $85.00 us.

• The third Barking Dog Alarm has a picture of a dog on the front with the words Security Dog next to it. This model seems to vary in price also, & it will cost you anywhere between $85.00 & $100.00 us.

The three Dog Alarms above operate with the use of microwave & radar technologies as they all use built in microwave radar sensors.

The Barking Dog Alarm is placed inside your front door with radio waves passing through the door detecting anyone approaching it. With the three dog alarms mentioned above the closer someone gets to your door the louder & more frequent the barking becomes.
