Or get a dog. Mups is right about that to. Our hairy burglar alarm is always on duty. And his danger signal bark would wake the dead.
Reminds me, I need to fit the Beware of the Dog sign on our new front door.
Be careful what the sign says, Besoeker.
Crazy though it sounds, saying "Beware of the Dog" can actually get you into trouble.
This explains it better than me:
" In the event of a dog attack, there are two possible outcomes if you've posted a “Beware of Dog” sign: ... It is considered proof that the dog owner knows the dog is aggressive, so they knowingly put any visitors or trespassers in danger."
Having said that, I have also heard of conflicting reports too, so perhaps best do some homework first.
My sign at home just says: "Please close the gate - Dog Loose."
That way I am not admitting they are a danger to the public.
