[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 2449010, member: 5485"] We never had a shovel either. But we sure could've used it for many of the PCMs. We did have a guy who would take his hand cart along if he thought he needed an advantage. Some drivers love to use treats, some refuse to use them. Through the years I always relied on getting better at reading the dogs demeanor. Anything questionable became a send again, and I'd have the clerk call them. Also, if I was surprised by a dog (honk of course, call out UPS or hello there, rattle gate etc) that was hiding, and then became grouchy, I just let them chomp on the end of the diad. This really worked better when the diad was 5 times bigger than it is now. I've used treats and had great luck with that, I've also had dogs silently ignore them and then lunge at me. Those dogs got, kicked, whacked, yelled at or a combo. That was my last line of defense though. A bad dog is never as bad as 2 or more at the same time. That you definitely want to avoid at all costs. No pkg is worth a dog bite. When in doubt, err on the side of caution. [/QUOTE]
