The mail carrier steps onto the family's territory and thus the dog feels the mail carrier is an intruder, and possible threat, who needs to be driven away. The mail carrier also has many scents picked up from their travel, that only the dog can detect. Proper socialization will help prevent and fix this problem. You can also invite the mail carrier onto your property or into the house and meet the dog in a control situation so the dog will begin seeing the carrier as a guest, instead of an intruder. |
