It's summertime again, which means that hordes of unemployed teens will soon be descending on our houses, hawking everything from candy to magazines to window cleaner. If you don't buy from them, they will leave your house and join the nearest gang, which will Endanger Their Future.
What's the most efficient way to keep them out off your porch or, failing that, send them packing?
To: LongElegantLegs
Walk out on your front porch with your Congressman Wiener hanging out. They’ll run for cover.

I just don’t answer the door. Anybody I want to see knows to call before coming over. This strategy also works with political candidates, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Mormons.

No joke, really. I have a friend who answers his door always naked, we never go over there without calling first. Uninvited people never come back to his house.

Obviously “No Soliciting” and/or “Beware of Dog” signs don’t work...
...but an American Bulldog and a Boxer-mix seem to have worked pretty well for one guy.

She said she regularly goes to doors with No Soliciting signsThis idiot deserves what she got. And worse.
To: LongElegantLegs
Vandewege said she doesn't take responsibility for what happened. She said she regularly goes to doors with No Soliciting signs.. Earlier in the article they quoted her as saying she didn't see the signs.

Both dogs have a history of biting people.Then why in the world would they give these dogs back to the owners? They should either be euthanized or given to someone who knows how to retrain aggressive dogs. (And even those folks don't always have success.)

I have security dog signs on my property and no soliciting sign too. they have worked for me, no door to door salesmen. But the signs are an abject lie! You are only in danger from my dogs if you have food in your pockets. Then you are in danger of being licked to death.

Make her pay for the damaged screen, and if they put the dogs down, vet bill from the euthanasia as well. Actions have consequences and if she’s still refusing to see she’s responsible after admitting she ignores signs, she needs to be “bitten” by consequences til she is.

14 years old is quite old enough to read and obey signs!
14 years old is time to be fully responsible for your acts as was traditional for 13 year old people in the past!
This 14 year old admits to ignoring signs elsewhere ,and obviously playing the "I'm just a little girl selling "X"" to get your sympathy;no sympathy here.

Some cities prohibit kids from going door to door selling stuff to prevent predator attacks on kids.

I’m glad the girl survived the experience, assuming she absorbed the lesson. As a day-sleeper with a heaping dose of the leavemealones of my own, I’m really feeling for the dogs who were only doing their job.
Bad of the owners not to better secure the dogs within the bounds of the home, though. If you have known biters, ensure they can’t or won’t breach the home barrier on their own.

EXACTLY. As said by someone earlier she should be held responsible for ALL costs associated with this including the $1,200 to get the dogs released.
Thank God I don’t live in the city.
To: Titan Magroyne
“Bad of the owners not to better secure the dogs within the bounds of the home,” Why they have a fenced yard the the girl entered without permission and they are just protecting the owners propoerty.
