I have 5 dogs. I have them divided by 3 and 2 and they take turns in the
house and back yard.
But at night they all come inside. 3 will stay in the "dog room" and the
other 2 in my bedroom.
We've had burglaries happen often in houses across the street, but none in
my neighbor's houses. They have never complained about my dogs as they are
also taken care of by them.
It gets a little hairy sometimes when the doorbell rings and 3 are charging
toward the door. Only a crazy person would try anything seeing 3 dogs
staring at him.
Works for all of us.
