The only motion I have used that "might" work would be an Intellisense
DT-500.  Unfortunately it is likely to miss a legitimate detecton in a small
space.  If you use and program them in anding groups you can eliminate most
false alarms.

However, for clients with big dogs I prefer to reccomend "full perimeter"
instead. Contacts on every opening backed up with glassbreak sensors in
every room.  Then add a couple "traps" on key spots inside.  A contact on
the stereo cabinet, maybe on a few of the interior doors, a work of art...
etc etc.
