Depends on how crazy your neighbors think you are....

Works for me. Some will try you up and you gotta put them in check. CYA, cover your ass.

I had a neighbor beat up my mail box, so I upped the ante. Only reason I can think of is he is just bipolar or something and would like to wave at me the day he did rough up my mail box. A fifth later and a few hours later he was still lucky to have running water to his house. Though I don't suggest doing that sort of crazy stuff.

If you have any neighborly problems, go about it legally. Strong fences makes good neighbors... Also have a heart to heart with your nieghbors. If they're obviously problomatic. Neighborhood kids, well corn and all this crap wont save you from them, but a protective dog will and a vigilant eye. Female dogs are generally more protective of property and persons than a male dog. Don't attempt to make your dog mean, it is a very bad no no.

Dogs are like anything else, they're mean when they need to be. Most of my dogs are very socalized with people and other animals. They are also very protective of me, my family and my property. You need to teach them your property boundries, by walking them the property line, anything outside of that line is to be ignored but anything within is fair game. Takes awhile but they'll understand firm "NO" and gentle loving "YES". Dogs understand body language and tones of voice better than most people.

Sorry for going off topic, I think you're OKAY security wise. Some of these folks I assume want to act like you're guerillla growing.
