[quote=Anonymous]We have two dogs who both bark very energetically and loudly when someone comes on our porch, especially if they knock/ring doorbell.  Dogs are not huge but large enought to be intimidating (65 lbs and 45 lbs., both medium tall).  I let them bark while I look out the side windows.  If it is a man or men, I may ask what they want through the door but usually just mouth "sorry, no thanks."  If its is a woman I will hold one dog (the aggressive growler) by his collar, with other bigger dog next to us and open the door slioghtly to see if its someone who needs help or is in trouble.  I definitely "use" my dogs and play up their existence during the day if someone comes to the door.  My children, 8 and 11 are NOT allowed to open the door for anyone even if we are home, unless it is someone we are expecting and know very, very well.  I have never understood parenst who let their kids open the door when anyone comes to the door and I have seen it happen enough to know it is not uncommon (dumb, dumb, dumb).   [/quote]
