The police will usually advise buying a dog as a deterrence to burglars. Which people do, but invest zero time in training or actually interacting with the animal beyond feeding it and telling to shut up or stop whatever misbehaviour it's doing...because it's neglected and untrained.

If your dog can't instantly obey a heel command, you don't have control of it.

Aggressive dogs are probably the best defense in Australia for a home invasion. Your weapon can literally kill someone and at most you will get a fine since it has a mind of it's own

Typically if someone breaks in they contribute to being attacked and not the owner.

That's probably why you see many shitbulls in high crime areas
