One night my daughter confronted a man attempting to force the sliding glass door in our kitchen open. He was half way through the door when my daughter confronted him and he didn't run until she pointed a large caliber revolver at him.

There was a working burglar alarm sounding and also a 60 pound Black Lab in the house. The alarm didn't deter the intruder but it did alert my daughter. The dog hated loud noises and simply went into hiding when the alarm went off.
