Surviving bug in depends heavily on how well you fortify your location. As mentioned before, my bug in is my house. It is a moderately populated area, close to three Wal-marts (who isn't these days) as well as very near a back road that leads to my bug out location. To keep me and mine alive, I have three levels of defense:
Property Line
10' barbed wire and concrete barricades
I have plenty of cement, I just need the barbed wires!
proximity mines
rumor has it there are homemade recipes for this
ditches
my neighbor has a tractor. i would "borrow" this.
Front and Back Yard:
trip wires
these will set of alarms so I know there has been a breach
ditches
cant have too many
motion lights
the darkness will not get the better of us
guard dogs
they are not to engage, only warn. they could become infected otherwise.
he will be the head of the guard.
House:
wall in all the basement windows
basement break ins will kill 1 out of 200 survivors I am guessing. I won't be one of them.
board up second windows
I don't want to wall these ins but I do want to keep them secure.
flood lights
you can't shoot what you can't see
stair destruction
every entrance and exit must be controlled.
observation deck
this is on the roof. Used for defending, signaling and as a look out.
Homework: survey your bug in location and make plans to fortify

zombies can't feel pain, so barbed wire would be futile
Dan brings up an excellent point. Also, why would you choose an already infected dog to lead your pack? I'm beginning to wonder if this blog has been infiltrated by a super intelligent (I haven't deduced if it is fast or slow) zombie.
I was hoping the barbed wire would entangle them but I see your point. Oh! Maybe a chain link fence?
He is not infected, just odd!
I think that that dog would make a fine captain of the guard. I assume he was chosen because of his high barking-to-dangerousness ratio (this assumption is based on my own experiences with small dogs, which tend to be exceedingly yappy and equally harmless). I have always been amused by tiny dogs that bark at everything that moves like they want to take on the neighborhood, but I had never considered the advantage that that would give you when facing a zombie invasion. Well, I learned something today.
