[QUOTE="Orion inc., post: 1687074, member: 58808"] I do this as well in situations where I don't know the customer or the dog. I also have a big box of treats in the car that give out to the same dogs I see every day. It does keep you on good terms with the dog and it's good PR. Every customer I've ever had that I gave treats to their dogs always said how kind that was etc. Didn't hurt either during peak with tips. You have to use your judgement and size up every situation on its own merits. Follow the methods but their is no harm giving a dog a biscuit as your making the delivery. I've found if you have good relationships with your customers and sometimes their dogs, it makes your job safer and easier. I had one business stop that had a really aggressive dog. The owner would meet me by the gate and get his packages. I started bringing the dog a biscuit every time. At first he would go crazy barking and such. After a few weeks , the dog associated me with a treat. He stopped being aggressive towards me. The owner said that I was the only delivery guy the dog didn't try to eat. That dog passed away a few months ago. By that time, that dog and I became good friends and it was a nice part of my day delivering there. I sad to see him go. The owners did get a new one and we are on good terms [emoji4] [/QUOTE]
