[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that a delivery driver has a right to protect themself,
But why wouldn't you just drive away if there was a dog that was SO scary you feel you need a baseball bat?  Call the number on the package?  Mark it as undeliverable?  Throw it at the fence and don't get out of the car?  I mean there are a lot of options.  Sounds like a guy just itching to use his weapon.

[b]OP you say your dog is all bark and no bite.  I think you owe it to your DOG to do a better job protecting her from people in the front yard.  She cannot be out there unsupervised.  Or get a second fence that keeps the walkway area dog free.  If anyone - including your dog- gets hurt, it is  your fault.  You have seen the danger[/b].[/quote]

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.[/quote]
