It was a nip. I apologized and I was still talking when he walked away...he was on his way out he was in a hurry. The ups man SHOULD NOT HAVE entered my garage without asking. She’s 35 pounds not some pit bull.
NP. You're a complete idiot, sweetie.
Of course a UPS delivery person would prefer to leave your packages in your garage, particularly when they see you standing there. You don't ask permission to drop something off in an open garage, that's your stupidity talking.
I hope he files a claim. Your dog sucks and so do you.

She loves women and men once she gets to know them but has always been protective and barked at men when they approach me quickly from behind. So I’m out walking with her and I see the ups man coming And head home to wait for my packages ... I have her leashed up in the garage our garage is open and I am holding her. He decided to come into our garage and Set the packages down. I didn’t expect it I thought he was headed to our door. She went crazy barking and nipped at him he then said something to me which I couldn’t hear and walked away.... I am super nervous now....what if he files a report..
Put down that dog before another incident.

OP, what happened? Have you heard anything? I doubt you will, despite Miss Gulches on this thread.
The only asshole is OP, who let her dog bite someone and thinks it’s no big deal. So many entitled dog owners out there.

I personally hate when delivery people put stuff in my garage as its a mess. I once found something a year later that I had reported as lost in delivery.
I agree. He should not have come into the garage. My UPS person now leaves packages in front of my closed garage door, which I hate. I have a covered porch.

+1, why did the UPS man take the package into the garage?
Duh, he saw her and was giving her the packages. If he’d left them on the doorstep she’d likely have huffed about him not delivering them directly to her. No good deed goes unpunished.

The fact that you just let him walk away without checking if he was alright or needed your dog's vaccination records is disgusting. I hope he DOES file a report.
She had her dog contained and managed. This is not some wild beast roaming without a collar and leash.
He may file a complaint but she has an adequate defense here.
If her dog was contained or managed, the dog would have been unable to bite the UPS delivery person.

Your dog bit someone. I hope they file a report and I hope you have to face consequences. Control your dog.

Our employee would be required to file a workers' compensation claim. As part of the claim, our employee would be required to complete an incident report and to identify the exact location where the injury occurred. The dog bite likely would be reported to the authorities - our employees tend to call in from the location and then our dispatch sends the police to investigate. In the event that our employee needs medical care or loses time for the injury and we have to pay benefits, we would pursue the dog owner to recover all of our costs - we would use a private investigator to identify the dog owner. If the dog owner pays voluntarily, we would accept payment from them, if not, we would sue. One of the problems with dog bites is that employees sometimes require psychiatric care.
LOL this has to be parody. Nice.
This is completely true.
How can you require someone to file for worker's comp? Doesn't the NOT benefit the employer? I call bull, to all of it. What a ridiculous way of doing business.
If your company came after me, I would counter-sue. You would be putting my kids through college. You are on notice.
NP here. Last poster is absolutely clueless, and saying that someone is "on notice" (WTH? LOL) would not change any of it.
First poster here is absolutely spot on, as is the poster who mentioned having adequate homeowner's insurance. OP, you are in over your head.
Correct. It was a joke.
PP again. I was joking when I said "You are on notice" -- I thought that was obviously tongue in cheek -- but I wasn't joking about conter-suing. I would sue your company so hard they'd wish they hadn't gone after me for a nip that didn't even bother the recipient. If you've ever been on a jury, you know that most people are supportive of the regular people involved, not the companies who make life hard for us. You required the person file to file for worker's comp? That would not look good. I would win. You would be sad.
What a bully and a weak assed attempt at intimidation. Plenty of people here have lawyers. You'd end up paying lawyers fees for both sides. You don't get to decide on the other person's pain and wouldn't get away with minimizing what your dog did. As the pp said, every dog owner says the same thing and tries to minimize when their dog bites. Clueless fool.

OP gives all dog owners a bad name. She is not responsible enough to own a pet.

OP you’re way too chill about this.
When I was younger we visited my Dh’s friends and their very small dog ran up to me in the house when I arrived and bit me through my jeans. It was small but I have a scar 12 years later. I was holding my baby.
Eff their dog. But also them - they are tremendous jerks and had the same “oh silly dog!” reaction as you.
The UPS man has every right to pursue action. I hope he does. And I hope you now consider your dog a dog that bites and not innocently sweet. It isn’t. Act accordingly before it’s a child that toddles last you and gets bit on the face. Hoping the UPS driver reports this so that if there is a second incident it’s well documented. We know you don’t sound responsively enough to control your dog.

The UPS guy was probably placing them in the garage since she had it open and appeared to be waiting for them. I would have clearly told him please leave by door and closed garage since pandemic, but what ever.
Not sure why Op wasn’t holding leash short and taunt, but clearly she’s not a responsible dog owner of her sweet nipper.
I suspect UPS deals with dog bites and irrational owners often, and the protocol is to leave the scene, and get rabies shots, and report. Trying to obtain rabies records or other information often can lead to further confrontation.
Rabies shots are not a big deal anymore other than the schedule.
I would expect a call from animal control OP

How long has your dog had this issue and what have you done to fix it?
