"It's too cold outside for you to sit on the porch with the door to the house open."
This is a hard concept to get across. They can sit on the unheated covered porch, but they also want to have the door wide open while they do it. They can scratch the door open unless I use the dead bolt, and the dead bolt is a pain in the neck because we use that door a lot.

to an outside pen, but they want to sit out on the porch and bark at squirrels on the bird feeder! The door to the porch has a storm door, so i don't think a dog door is practical.

If that is the reason they like to sit there, addressing the cause is the most direct way to deal with it.
