dog deterrent

It would seem to make sense that if it were difficult to break into your home a thief would rather break into your neighbor’s home instead.

One of my aunt’s hubby layered a perimeter of a hedge in front with razor wire, cactus & sharpened steel spikes and assorted shrubs & flowers (to conceal the traps from the house’s view). They don’t like having dogs gallivanting on their property. Their front gates are electrified. My dad likes to say "at least they haven’t put in a moat with alligators – . . . yet".

I have a 5 yr old alpha doberman female, that I found out after having her about 2 months that she was trained as an area protection dog/ deterrent. When she is outside in the yard, she is always "looking" into the neighbors yards, and everything she sees that moves gets barked at and she runs the perimeter of the yard like she is possessed. I was told she was trained to do that. I do not know if she would bite anyone who happened to come into her area,because it is gated and no one has ever tried.I have asked several dog trainers about how to get her to stop doing it, with no luck/ideas that work. She is very very loud and the neighbors kids are scared of her. She is very friendly, and so quiet and chill when in the house and out in public that you don’t even notice her. But shes a monster in the backyard. I have tried the whistle technique, bringing her in when she starts the bad behavior, and rewarding her for "quiet". None of it works. I want to be able to be out in the yard with her and my other 3 dogs peacefully. I have had her for a year and no luck. My other 3 dogs do not act like her. They are very good in the yard and occasionally chase a squirrel. Does anyone have any other ideas?
