Actually, come to think of it, a well-trained dog is probably one of your better security options.

Doesn't need to be a well-trained dog. We had 3 Siberian Huskies and they loved to bark when people walked by the front of the house while they were standing on the back deck. Pretty much everyone in the neighborhood knew we had the dogs, and despite everyone knowing they wouldn't attack anyone people were just afraid of them because of how they looked. Our dogs were not "well-trained" and were very stubborn ( they would howl back at you if you told them to sit or do anything they didn't want to do ), but people were afraid of them even though they would never attack anyone.
