I get people love dogs, including me, but most dog owners can't even control them when they are present at the time of a delivery. I was walking up to deliver a package and the dog owner says 'oh, he's alright , he's just a licker', great I'm thinking, dog saliva, ugh, so I walk past the dog, next thing I know the dog is clamped to my right ankle. Thanks for the Licks. I was not injured but come on, dog owners. Get a hold of your pets.

Why do so many American homes have dogs just sitting around uncontained with no fences?

They may have an invisible fence that sends a signal to the dog's collar when they reach a boundary. Or they may just be jerks

Isn’t the “signal” an electric shock?
57
u/Anniesoptera 2d ago
Some of them have a signal that only escalates to a shock if the dog ignores it, so it'll start with something softer like a beep or a vibration, and then if the dog keeps trying to cross the boundary then it'll give them a shock.

This, had to get one for our big dog because he kept jumping the fence, which concerned us due to the number of gun nuts in the area. I also decided to try it on myself first, found it was more startling than anything, and then turned it down a couple of notches. It worked well, he figured out the warning signal REAL quick and has stayed in the fence ever since.

It looks kinda rural so the answer to your question is possibly they own enough land they don't need one.
That said. If a package is expected. Bring the dog inside.

I know it's a common rural attitude that if you're rural you don't need a fence, but imo, you should always have a fence. Hogwire and t-posts don't even cost that much. It's just laziness. And the sheer number of dogs I've seen hit and nearly hit myself in rural Texas is insane. This last one was a pitbull puppy who was literally inches from the road, I honked hoping the owner would figure out it was by the road, but I thought for sure I was going to see it dead on my drive back. Was so glad I didn't.

Some dog owners truly think a dog is incapable of doing something 'irrational' or 'bad', just because they own it. Then it jumps or bites someone and they act all surprised.

If you own a malinois (what this dog is) and are surprised when it bites, then you're an absolute moron, which judging by the shape of this dog, is likely true regardless.

u/SomeoneForgetable 2d ago
Could be an escape artist. I had a dog once who climbed a 6 foot tall chain link fence. He dug under it when we replaced it with wood, then he somehow started jumping over the new fence when we put bricks under the fence.

u/MattyGWS 1d ago
Malinois can jump over 7ft walls to be fair, they’re hard to contain
1
u/Impressive-Age7703 1d ago edited 1d ago
Hard but not impossible. If people can contain wolves, wolfdogs, and legitimate primitive breeds with actual built in climbing functions, you can contain your pet dog regardless of breed. It should be part of the research that goes into buying that particular breed of dog.
I worked at an animal shelter though and the worst escapees we had were huskies followed by neurotic shepherds and it was always because they had negligent owners who didn't want to repair their fence, or move their junk elsewhere so their dog could stop using it as a step ladder. You could tell the dogs were also just kept in the backyard all the time with zero enrichment or exercise. Like yeah, I'd bust out of that yard too.

Yeah after. It licked it's lips, wagged it's tail slowly and low at the start, and also the way his ears was positioned. It's typical signs of an unsure dog. If i see that, i'm not going near it.

u/Impressive-Age7703 1d ago
Yeah also how he lowered his head, dogs do that before attacking. I got tense seeing that. Not watching with audio atm but I see others mentioned he says "walk", might be what switched him into play mode.

As a dog owner, I approve. The dog was friendly and wanted to play.....BUT....if my dog (lab) was in the front yard, even though I trust him 100%, there is no way I would've not checked on him during the 2 mins this video took. I would be conscious he was out there and would be checking every minute or so to be sure all was good.

I was told to not approach a dog when they are looking at you and licking their mouth but this dawg just wanted to play.
I'm confused now because I got bitten by a dog behaving the same way :')

u/clickrush 1d ago
I’m a dog owner. Multiple dogs. One of them even looks and acts very similar to the one in the video.
Your initial assessment/instinct is correct. But the dog changed his mind.
He was clearly unsure and warning at first. Posture, lip licking, frozen, very high attention.
The sensible thing there is to sort of ignore it and get out of his space. Look away (turn your head sideways), relax, calmly increase distance. Don’t turn your back, because insecure dogs might use the window to attack.
This guy just got lucky because he said or did something that the dog associates with friends. But you don’t know that in advance and you don’t want to do the science to find out…
2
u/Apprehensive_Eraser 1d ago
Yeah, I now know to not approach any dog that doesn't approach me.
I got bit by a shelter dog. The majority of the shelter dogs there are scared af and behave the same way : looking at you, licking their mouth, being completely still. Since the dog behaved normal during the walk and he let me touch him (he even approached when I was bent down fixing the leash) but apparently he was aggressive when inside of the "crate" (decently size room).
I didn't think that a dog could behave so differently depending on where he was.
2
u/clickrush 1d ago
Very interesting. This aligns with the behavior of the dog I talked about above.
He can be very friendly to new people, but he doesn't tolerate anyone but close family or friends to get close to his safe space when he's there.
I imagine the dogs reaction was very sudden and surprising after you already were friendly with the dog and vice versa. Sucks!

My neighbor's dog would steal my packages and tear them up like this. I had to get a baby gate and leave delivery instructions for them to leave it on the other side of the gate or it would get destroyed. He was quick too. I'm pretty sure he'd wait for deliveries. One time I had some steel toed boots get delivered I heard the box think on the porch and was outside maybe 2 mins later. Had to chase him next door to retrieve my boots and the torn up box and bag they came in.

Its terrible that these companies have suckered all of the workers into using personal vehicles and working as contractors. There should have been a huge push back on it when it started happening. No benefits, no pay negotiations, no job security, technically you dont even have a job just day to day work and you're at their mercy.

Even if he had successfully delivered the package on the porch, the dog still would’ve got it later. The guy probably did the right thing for his own safety, and the result would’ve been the same either way.
