The compound is 10 feet X 8feet.Inside the compond is her kennel where she kips.The compound is 5 feet high and has a gate in and a gate out. I am concerned for her security. Any ideas gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 CCTV, alarm, a rottie called BO, Security lights on the approach, spikes on top of the fence perhaps a hidden alarm mine on the gate or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Infrared beam that does what exactly? Sets off an alarm? Turns on a light? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B008R9296O/ref=mw_dp_mpd?pd=1 http://www.easylinkuk.co.uk/page30.html Edited April 24, 2013 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 WHY are you concerned about security? Little or no sensible advice can be given unless you elaborate on the perceived threat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 WHY are you concerned about security? Little or no sensible advice can be given unless you elaborate on the perceived threat! have you missed the shooting press and numerous dog thefts about Dekers? Simply the best precaution is making sure no one knows she is there and outside, after that you have decent locks on gates and after that lights and cameras and possibly alarms, however the people who steal dogs don't tend to worry and are in and out fast whatever you do but the more precautions the harder you make it for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson_tom Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I am putting a kennel in the garden for my two at the new house, luckily the garden is quite secure and backs onto other houses. However I am planning on buying the galvanised metal panels and fitting a decent padlock to the gate and make sure it cant be belted off with a big hammer etc. I think alarms and lights are a waste of money as they are all a bit too late or in the wrong position so either dont go off when someone comes in the garden of goes off everytime the neighbors cat walks in your garden. Personally I want to make it as difficult as possible to actually steal them so metal panels and HD locks should mean they have to make a lot of noise to get to the dogs and by then someone should be poking their head out the window to see what is going on.

Mitchsan51 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thank you Cosd Pippa is my friend, my companion and my guide in life.I could not bear to have her pinched. I am accutely aware of Dekers thoughst but Pippa's security is my concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I take it keeping her inside in the kitchen is out of the equation, thats where mine is during the day and really the safest place. Its also security at home as she sounds quite fierce when someone comes through the side gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchsan51 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Pippa wouldn't settle inside. I am thinking about keeping her in the garage overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 in my old house I used an area inside garage, basically large sleeping box, smashed hole through wall to the outside run, it worked well, as some scrote tried nicking the dogs, they simply went into garage and barked their heads off, my ex missus moaned at me for chasing him down the road stark ******* naked, he ran bloody fast, maybe thought he was gonna get a bum deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 There is little you can do against a determined thief. The strongest steel bars and locks can be overcome. Possibly something with cameras HIGH up and motion detectors linked to internal alarms if moving Pippa inside is not an option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
