Re: Will pet friendly motion detector work with my dog?

["Jim Rojas" <jrojas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my opinion the dog is too large. If you leave the dog loose in the house,
I doubt a burglar would dare to break in. Install the motions, and arm the
system in "stay" mode at all times. This will allow the dog to roam freely.
If you have areas in your home the dog has no access to, bypass the motions
he has access to and arm in away mode.

If the dog is useless as a guard dog, consider putting him in the basement,
or contain him in a large kennel in the garage or basement.
