To alert you when visitors arrive and to scare off undesirables. However, it's pretty easy to deduce the radius of their chain so their home defense usefulness is debatable.
They amended the laws in 2021 making it a criminal act to tether a dog under 6 months of age unless supervised, tethering in any manner that endangers a dog of any age (to include not having access to sustenance), or tethering a dog with tow straps, choke or prong collars, or log chains.
