Home Security

Keeping your home secure is one of the most important aspects of preparedness. A good way to keep your home safe from intruders is to ask yourself these three questions: How will I deter intruders? How will I delay intruders? How will I defend myself and my family against intruders? Deter. Delay. Defend.

There is one component that can fall into all three of those categories: a guard dog. A protective dog can deter intruders from attempting to enter your home, it can delay their entrance, and can also keep the intruders at bay if they do gain entry. A dog can buy you and your family precious time to defend your home, if it comes to that.
