Check out UPS DOGS on facebook. They all keep treats in their trucks for dogs. It's a thing. |
Good lord she shouldn’t have to do that! |
I hope someone calls animal control and has OP’s dog taken away. That’s the best outcome for everyone involved. Better than someone getting injured and suing. |
Troll score: 10/10
Absolutely oblivious and stupid enough to be a real person |
But if a driver whacks and injures your large aggressive dog, who runs at and frightens the driver, the driver is responsible? Why? |
+1 Even if they aren’t bitten, they’re scared. They feel threatened and afraid. *I* would certainly be scared in their shoes, and would likely skip your house. You are being so thoughtless, OP. |
If I were your delivery driver, I'd throw your package over your fence and let you deal with the consequences. Be a sh!tty dog owner, be sh!tty to your delivery person, expect sh!tty treatment (that you deserve). OP the excuses you are continually making are mind boggling. |
I hope you have an umbrella insurance policy. |
You can’t have your dog out where delivery drivers need to walk, especially if the dog is going to bark at them. Take the dog on leashed walks. If you insist on leaving the dog outside unattended, it needs to be in a fenced yard that doesn’t block access to your front door.
Honestly OP I can’t believe you wouldn’t understand that. |
Fence in a portion of your yard, or put a leash on the dog and be outside with it. Period. |
Are you Superman? How fast do you run out there? Your dog should never be loose and unleashed |
+1 absolutely |
This. The poor little dog is doing what she knows to do, to protect herself in a territory that she has full domain over without boundary. She is choosing to show aggression because she feels threatened. And honestly? It is no one's job to throw treats. It doesn't matter if she is a small taco bell dog or a full bred german shepard. You should teach your dog to come at your command, because you have the authority and power to protect her and it is your responsibility to do what she cannot. Your job is to make her understand and learn that there is no threat when someone approaches the home, that there is a reward for good behavior (you should be giving her treats every time this driver comes to retrain her!), and then making her feel safe. She doesnt have you helping to create the invisible safety she would have if she were instructed and well trained. This is why people are saying you are a bad dog owner. Your husband too. Both you of, look up Cesar the Dog Whisperer guy. You can teach an old dog new tricks. |
You are a terrible human. Keep your GD in the house! If it bites someone and I was your neighbor, I’d fight to have the dog put down. |
you need to be outside with the dog or the dog is inside. Monitoring from a window is not enough. |
