In "The Sims 3: Pets" on Xbox 360, to make your dog guard your house, ensure you have a dog with the "Guard Dog" trait. Once you've selected your dog, go to the "Pet Actions" menu and look for the option to "Guard." If the option still doesn’t appear, ensure your dog is trained in obedience and has a good relationship with your Sim. If all else fails, try resetting your game or checking for any updates.
