Have I got a product for you. Automatic door closer.

u/user54 · 2 pointsr/homedefense

So get a door closer (I own this cheap thing and it works) and a lockset that is always locked. This will make the door secure every time, for less than $50 and 20 min of your time.

I am not saying don't install cameras, but I do feel you should stop inviting them to enter, too.

Boring but probably the best solution

They aren't that expensive for something like this but who pays is between you two, maybe split it since it helps you both? You don't have to remember to close the door anymore and roommate doesn't have to clean cat pee.

Thank you for not doubting my successes, I don’t think everyone here would have done so.

I agree that all it takes is "one ordinary oopsie" for things to go badly, but that is where responsible owners make a difference.

As a lifelong dog owner you know that not every dog is going to be Lassie, some are going to be reactive and other may even be aggressive in certain situations (and their owners may not even know), but that does not mean the dogs should be put down.

These dogs can thrive with responsible owners and proper training to be great companion dogs and family pets.

Among many other things, a responsible owner will:

  • Use reliable, high-quality equipment including collars, leashes, and harnesses
  • Check his leash/collar/harness for weaknesses and connect the harness to the collar and the harness to the leash. A better description and pictures can be found here
  • Pass his hand and wrist through the handle/loop of the leash so it can’t just be dropped (people should do this with all dogs)
  • Use a leash of appropriate length (six foot maximum) and no retractable leashes. I find a six foot leash too long and use a 4-5 foot leash
  • Install auto-close devices on his doors so kids forgetting to close a door is not an issue
  • Put himself between his dog and any potential issue

    I’ve had reactive dogs pull and lunge and never once has one even been close to getting away from me. Even if the dog “escapes" the harness, the collar is connected to the harness and the harness is connected to the leash which I wrap around my hand and wrist so the dog isn’t going anywhere.

    It comes down to responsible owners. I am more concerned about the irresponsible owners in my neighborhood than I am about their dogs who may or may not be reactive/aggressive. In almost all cases a dog can be trained but when it comes to people stupid is forever.
