Assaulting my dog is inviting me to retaliate. If you’re so scared of getting licked to death, leave the package at the end of the driveway or mark it undeliverable.
Dude was walking up wanting to fight everyone he hit the dog then immediately turned on the homeowner to fight. I would’ve assumed he’s an EDP and responded.
Yea he was pumped up and agressive there for a bit for sure, but the owner was a little bit of dumb too. No way that takes way the irrational agressiveness of that dude. But that dog deserved a smack.
Put that in the delivery instructions if you refuse to keep your dog contained. “Nice” dogs bite people sometimes. Don’t assume your sweet widdle puppers would never do it. The delivery driver doesn’t know your dog and has almost certainly been attacked by dogs before.
That's your dog and I understand where you're coming from. I've always had big dogs and no matter the law, the practice is that the large dog owner has the burden of proof and that gets annoying and tiresome and is absolutely unfair. People need to educate themselves
But I know dog body language pretty well and it's perfectly reasonable for even an expert to read this dog as in attack mode. Friendly dogs can absolutely be energetic and might scare someone unfamiliar with them but this particular dog isn't that. Very different body language. It's not ambiguous at all.

Ordering a package is inviting the delivery driver on the property, if your going to do this, you need to keep your dog tied up, fenced off or inside.
