If your dog is good in crawling vertical walls, he *might*
catch the gecko, but I'll doubt it. They are *really* shy.

Seriously, they are quite common around here (Italy and
Southern Europe in general), never heard of a problem.
Actually a friend of mine is living with dog and gecko for years now
and one cat in our house regularly catches (and eats)
other lizards, no problems so far.

Spiders are good in controlling flies, but not to everyones taste.
On my side of our house lifes a family of bats -> no mosquitoes.
Bats have the advantage of great entertainment value too :)
