I take my dogs with me to the door. That way I don't have to open the door very far and they are warned that the dogs do bite. The guys are usually making so much noise that no "sales pitch' last to long. Or I point to my ear and say sorry and just shut the door.

Good grief, what's next???
Thanks for the warning- I also don't open my door unless I'm expecting someone, just not safe. I wish my cats wouldn't run away when they hear the doorbell! A dog would never do that :)

Where in nj are you located. I'm in Mt. Olive. Are you in a flood area? The downing of trees are more of a concern. It's my last weekend before teachers have to report to school, my classroom is ready, so I was looking forward to quilting the rest of my days off. BOOOOOOO!

I have 2 very large noisy dogs that scare the bravest of men away from my front door. I don't even open my door to the UPS man. Tell them to leave the flowers outside the door (with your storm door locked) and you will get them later.
