[QUOTE="browndingo, post: 1219452, member: 50642"] Dogs are territorial of course, and they are good learners. When you walk up invading their territory they bark at you, then they see you leave and figure "Oh, that worked perfectly - I'll do it again the next time" Then they see you the next time and figure "This guy forgot our little discussion from before" and they get more aggressive. On the third delivery they're thinking "This guy never learns..." and they're ready to go for your throat. I saw this problem from the other side with my brother and his dog (a lab, not a shepherd). She went ape-crazy every day when the postal carrier stepped onto the porch. The carrier happened to live in the neighborhood and even came over a few times off duty to chat and play with the dog, but it was the mail car and the uniform that was triggering the response, apparently, because as soon as he was back at work the dog was going nuts again.
