Dog and the Mail Lady

[anomad]

In reality I think the grandson has put a huge burden on grandma… she should not be dealing with this and I said as much…

I don’t know if anything thing else will happen beyond no mail delivery as nothing has happened.

Dad had a rural mail carrier friend years ago who said the secret is making friends with the dogs on his route… he had biscuits and the few dogs waited for their treat but I realize probably few like that today…

The delivery folks around here all carry dog treats, but they won't give one out unless they have permission (who knows what they do when I'm not watching?). My dogs are very rarely out of my sight. But they do run loose while we walk so they can hunt and do dog things.

I'd take up Granny's issue with the post office and tell them how unreasonable the mail carrier is.

None of the current dogs will take treats from strangers even while on lead. Good thing

Something I would like to do... although it'll be difficult with a lab.
How did you train him?

My mailman never gets out of the car and my old dog stays near the house. He doesn't make it to the road where the mailbox is very often.

My Anatolians do not trust anyone by instincts. They just will not come near anyone unless introduced and even then it may take many visit to warm up (depends on person). Only one is remotely food driven so it comes easy.
Never met a Lab that would skip a treat.....
