My brother has tracked down what sounds like exactly the type of alarm that I
want, and the beauty of it is that when I no longer need it as a "leave my
dinner alone! you thieving ratbag dog!" I can use it as it was intended: a
3-in-1 personal alarm: not that I have ever felt the need of such a device,
but who knows what awaits me around the next corner.
It is designed to go into a handbag, and if the bag is snatched, a 130 decibel
alarm is triggered. There are two sockets. In one, there is a loop to which
you can tie a string which then is attached to your writs and if the bag is
snatched, well then, all hell breaks loose.
With the other socket, a cord is plugged into it, on the other end of which are
two little prongs that are squeezed together when you close a door on them.
When the door is opened and the device falls out, thus releasing those prongs,
again, all hell breaks loose!
In training the dogs not to take things off the table, I could tie something to
the tplug connected to the first socket, or I could place something that has a
little weight with it on those prongs, and when, or if,the weight is removed,
it would be the same as the door being opened.
