Dog safe house alarm systems?

Can anyone recommend one?
Don't want to spend like 4 billion quid on one either

Just a secure alarm that will set off with people but not dogs lol

Most have adjustable sensor that can be set not to key to anything smaller than x. As long as you don't have a giant breed you should just be able to call your local providers.

Anything bigger than a standard sized lab though your out of luck. ( By a normal sized lab, talking 70lbs or less.

Mastiff, Great Dane, Rottie. Your out of luck, as there are no sensors that make a difference between a small human adult size and a dog.)

Cancelled my service years ago, when prior mastiff hit around 120lbs, because he set it off, and crating him was not a option.

A Mastiff, Great Dane, Rottie would be alarm enough for me

Guess after around 30 years of being around mastiffs, I never look at them as big and scary.

Having a smallish-medium sized dog with the bark of a very VERY big dog who alerts me to every dodgy sound, people who do not know her would not dare to break in. And people she knows would not need to, although she still alerts me when someone comes down the path, telling me whether they are friend or foe.

Which means that the only two windows I have that face outside do not need grills on them, whereas all the other side and back windows do have them.

When I have to take her to the vet or the rare occasion we go to the Pension to stock up on goodies for her it is during the day, and anyone trying to break in through those two windows, needing to first get the shutter frames open and then break through the screens, or smash through the door, would be in full view of everyone going past.
