[QUOTE="scratch, post: 477356, member: 1674"] I usually just use my DIAD and cram it down their throat if I am attacked. I never do the dog cookie thing, I'm not going to treat a vicious dog. The best thing I have learned, is to not turn my back on one and I will yell at it in a stern voice. If you act scared, they sense it and that just edges them on more. Dogs are pack hunters, they normally will try to get behind you and bite at the back of your leg to bring you down. I have faced down many a dog and walked backwards to my package car. I will take on one vicious dog, but two or more is a no win situation. Alternative ideas are to use a cell phone if the number is on the package and get the owner out of the house. I have also pulled up next to a car and put the package in a DR bag and set it on top of the vehicle. This isn't the greatest idea, I know of one circumstance where the dogs scratched up the car's paint job trying to get the box and this got a complaint called in. Last week, I backed down a driveway and got as close to the house as possible. I just set the package at the garage door after coming out the back door to avoid messing with "Killer" as much as possible. Once I had a dog jump up in my cab when I was in the back getting a package off the shelf. I picked up a roll of DR bags and beat the crap out of it. He left me alone after that. [/QUOTE]
