Near dog attack

[SorryLazyPOS]

I was coming up to the door to deliver a small box then all of a sudden a man with a German shepherd (no leash) exit the door. The dog begins to bark aggressively at me and I can just hear the owner in the background saying “he doesn’t bite.” I made it back to the truck safely slammed my door, dropped the package and took off. This is my bidded route I’m debating whether or not to just leave their stuff at the end of the driveway.

Don’t debate. Had a similar situation with a signature required. Told the guy, hey keep that dog inside and come out to sign, he lets the ing thing out. Will call forever. People don’t realize, you could be seriously injured by a dog, don’t chance it.

I had a couple of customers who told me to honk my horn and if they don't come out to get their package to bring it back the next day because of their dogs. And don't get out of the truck.

Honk horn if no one comes out ni1 and access point or try again tomorrow.

Eff them. Your safety comes first. Unfortunately too many people can not control their pets.
Talk to your supervisor and let them know about the aggressive dog so that they could put a prompt in the DIAD so if anyone else covers your route they will know about the possible danger of an aggressive dog.

I'm sooo sick of people and their friend-ing dogs.

I don't understand the mindset of people who deliberately greet an invited service provider with any large, unrestrained dog.

I consider that no different than greeting a service provider while carelessly waving a pistol around.

"Don't worry it doesn't bite." is equivalent to "Don't worry it's not loaded."

I had more problems with little ankle biters that would slip out when the customer opened their door. Very little trouble with bigger dogs.

I agree. Annoying AF. Aside from an infection, it's a long shot that being attacked by an ankle biter will result in serious injury or death.

Honk your horn, announce UPS, and above all.... jingle your keys.

That will prevent those dog bites.

I remember hitting a dog with DIAD 1
I almost killed that bastard.

DIAD 1 was a deadly weapon. It would be like hitting that dog with a brick.

And look for dog dishes and water bowls to see if there is indeed a dog on the premises gotta expect the unexpected

I always had a few dog biscuits in my pockets. If they wouldn’t take the treat they’d usually follow it if I threw it past them. Dogs are part of the game

Most dogs aren't a problem if they can tell you aren't afraid of them. Always the odd psycho dog where it doesn't matter though.

Exactly! I was bitten twice in 35 years………and both times were by Chihuahuas. Big dogs don’t have anything to prove

When they told me “he won’t bite” I would say, he told you that did he?
