How does one go about food refusal and poison proofing the dog that works alone? Will this work for long term, even for many hours after the criminals have left the area?

A guard dog section, finally someone's talking my kinda dog stuff!

First let me say that this is not that big a problem in the burglary business.  Most crooks want to break in get something to sell and get out.  Even the big time pros that take the time to case a place and go for maximum dollars with each heist, don't poison a guard dog.  Why?

There are few if any poisons that will kill the dog in a matter of minutes or even hours.  Poisons take time to work through the system and begin to slow the dog down.  Why wait around for a few hours when you can just go down the street to the next place that doesn't have a dog? 

The exception to this no poison rule is when it's personal.  You know like when the husband and wife have run a business together and now they have split the sheets.  Are two business partners break up, the court appoints one or even an outsider to run things till it's all setttled.  Now it ain't just the money it's PERSONAL.

At first I used a portable fence charger with a long hotwire and a piece of meat stuck on the end of it.  Never found a piece of meat missing so I thought it was working pretty good.

Then I had a thought, since I've never seen a dog bite the meat, how do I know they are even finding it in the night?  That's when I realised the crooks would probably figure the same thing.  They would never take a chance on just throwing poisoned bait over a fence and just hoping  the dog would eat it.

I then took my three nastiest dogs (cause when it's personal only nasty will do) and had one decoy hide on a site, then put the dog in and had a second person come to the outside of the fence near the hidden decoy. 

Outside person sweet talks dog and trys to offer him food and if the dog goes for it, my idea was to have the hiddden decoy pop the dog from beind, then step out and give the dog a fight and a bite.   Theory wsa when someone offers dog food, he gets madder and starts looking for anyone to bite.

I have no idea if this will work or not.  The three dogs I tried it on never even looked at the food, all they wanted was the walking meat on the other side of the fence.   I quit worrying about poison, in fact I decided if anyone ever did poison one of my dogs, I'd put one of those three nasties in the next night and get a little revenge
