It seems my dogs not doing anything about a break in was a fluke. My decoy buddy stopped over while I was away. He let himself in the back door and was met by my Rottie. The decoy was wearing a bite jacket and got bit in the chest and then again on the back as the decoy tried to flee.
If you come in my house, this is what will meet you. You DON'T want to be bite by a trained rottweiler because they break bones when they bite.
I love that pic of my dog. That's real I'm gonna fuck you up aggression. Most people never get to see that in a dog. the eyes are big, the teeth are out....coool! Then again I might be a bigger dog geek than a harp geek.
Chris, you're still making a lot of assumptions from very little evidence - it may be that the dog only attacked because he was your decoy buddy, or it may be that he only attacked because he was wearing a bite jacket.
You'll never know for sure until you pay a stranger to break into your house unprotected. Do you know of any local bums who could use 5 bucks, or better, any lead guitarists?

Andrew, YOU are making assumptions. I have trained dog. He doesn't do shit like shake hands and roll over, he's trained to bite your ass on command. He's been training several days per wk since he was 8wks old.
Yes he may have known the helper but that's how you train unless you want to get somebody hurt. He's worked with dozens of helpers and pretty much doesn't give a shit who he bite because it's game to him. He also doesn't care what you are wearing because he doesn't focus on equipment.
I've been training dogs longer than I have been playing harp.

I don't do mind vomit adam. my playing and dog training is controlled. cerebral vomit is for those who lose control of what they are doing and attempt the shotgun method...ie; I'll do everything and maybe some of it works.

Some people do it very well. This guy is a famous exponent of the method: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Litchfield_West

Guitarists!? BANJO PLAYERS!
MAN to DOG: Why are you licking you ass so much? DOG to MAN: Because I just bit a banjo player and I'm trying to get the bad taste out of my mouth.
randy that's funny. What's not funny is I have so much work to finish before SPAH. I need sleep but too wired to sleep. I have been up for over 24 hours now. Good SPAH training I suppose.
I did say lead guitarist, not just guitarist. I can’t think of a pithy definition of a lead guitarist “A guitarist with no sense of rhythm”? “A guitarist who’s too lazy to practise rhythm guitar”? Currently I’m listening to Fleetwood Mac’s first ever album. There’s some cool harp playing on it.
I thought more like positioning your wife's handbag clearly visible 'again' on that table, some $$$ visible, and - very imoportantly - 'dogs out of view' (hidden behind the sofa), maybe some loud music from the front of the house or something like that...

Your decoy buddy has off. It's a little bit like putting a fish hook out with a fat worm for a fisherman. You might have too wait some time to be able to show us that video... ;)

I live in a rural area, and there are some folks around... how shall I put it... Folks who do not holds the values of positive social interaction and function in as high regard as I do.. Rural enough of an area that a decade or two ago a group of vigilantes requested a couple of drug dealers to find somewhere else to live... they moved. In an unrelated incident with no other information, a local lowlife went missing and he was found "clinging" to some scrap iron years later when they drained the local reservoir.
For folks who dropped by your place uninvited, there are the "Three Esses."
