I think what Duke is saying is that putting your traps closer to the outside world than your dogs, will save on dogs. Otherwise the dogs get used up fighting goblins who would otherwise succumb to traps.
I have ten rows of 3 traps on my trade road. Before I rearranged things, I had two dogs tied just inside those traps. Goblin archers killed them. Now I have the Trade Depot further down the road, past a small courtyard. Overlooking the courtyard is a watchtower with fortifications which are manned (dwarfed?) by marksdwarves during caravan visits. The wall surrounding the courtyard has several sets of double doors into the rest of the settlement. My sentry dogs are tied up just behind these doors. Thus they can detect stealthed invaders while staying outside of bowshot range of the traps. They are in pairs, and they have killed everything that they detected so far.
