My Akita isn't to fond of the mail man especially when hubby's not home.In fact he really doesn't like anyone in uniform especially cops and paramedics.The person he hates the post thow is the meter reader....LOL
once he hears someone going up the front steps he goes crazy and barks his head off.
i wish there was a way to stop it...and make him more welcoming, but it does make a great alarm system
My 3 LOVE the mailman and the UPS guy. They both give them treats whenever they come by. They go nuts when they see the mail truck or UPS truck pull up or even when ANY mail truck or UPS dirives down our street.
I live in a mobile home park, so my dogs don't really get to see the mail man. But they don't bark at the vehicle she drives. They don't really mind the UPS guy either. They don't like his vehicle though. LOL I guess it's too loud.
My dogs are protective, in that they will alert me that someone is near the house. Once they don't sense anything is wrong they will walk over and get all kinds of attention from whoever is here.
Now, there are delivery people who are afraid to get out of their van when they are here and the dogs are out because Brutus is so big, so they are intimidating, but quickly realize after I go outside that the dogs mean no harm and they will pet them.
My dog is very friendly. If he heard the motorcycle of the mailman, he used to run outside and play with the mailman. Even the mailman told me that of all dogs in the neighborhood, my dog is the most friendly. I'm proud of it because I trained my dog well.
My dog always barked at the mailman, so it appeared he hated him. He was just being protective though. He was good that way. I appreciated that the most when the meter reader came, because he'd have to come into the house and go down the basement... I'd always hold Snoopy in front of me and he protected me just fine
