Put a key in a baggie and bury it in the yard.
THATS GREAT!
If they're willing to shoot the dog, they're willing to break a window.
And that all assumes that whoever's robbing your house reads the newsgroup where you're bragging how you secure it.
Although the fake rock is an excellent place to hide an exploding dye pack...
I *like* it!
I think it was " snipped-for-privacy@aol.com" who stated:

Shooting guns in residential areas draws a lot of attention. Also,one shot does not always put down a dog on the spot.
Well, they wouldn't have... until now...
You don't need the dye, use a stick of 60% and you can read in the newspaper who it was ;)
In the bottom of an old rusty bucket full of horse manure.
That's the first place they look.
Just walk into the bank with a handgun and yell "put all your money in this big, dark bag that I can't see what you're putting into the bag, and I'll turn and look the other way now, tell me when it's done".
They will give you one for free.
That's how I get lockout business. I take the key out of the rusty bucket of horse manure, and replace it with my business card "Lockout service of...."

I hope the cap does not rust on the stub. ;-)
If you want to be evil, hide a bunch of keys in lots of obvious and non-obvious places.. Only you know which key actually works in your locks.. The rest are similar (same brand, same keyway), and fit into, but will not operate the locks. If you have had your locks rekeyed, use the old keys, or ask your local locksmith for some mis-cut keys..
If one has a pipe wrench, it's just as easy to use it on the doorknob :/

How about labeling the key you use with a nonexistent address in another state?
One thing I heard a few years ago was to put a note on your door. One that appears to be written to a family member warning of the poisonous south American snakes loose inside (the real family members know you don't have any snakes).
