Mail carriers are not supposed to give treats to dogs for this reason. The dog gets used to the regular carrier and runs up to him/her every day for a treat, then one day a sub is on the route who may be afraid of dogs, sees this dog running at him and sprays him with pepper spray.  You should have a talk with her or even call her supervisor and explain the problem. |
I never thought of that. What a great point to make. Thanks for sharing that. I am sure a lot of people don't think about that. |

| Almost all drive-thru restaurants & gas stations here give dog treats. I feel like such a neurotic crazy dog lady when I explain my dogs are allergic to wheat & cannot have the biscuit. |

It is so nice that they do that, it really is, but now it's like when we go to a drive through - any drive through - she expects treats, and not all places do it, not all people, etc.
It's an amazing phenomenon because we don't do drive thru much, but after she got a regular munckin at DD a few months ago, she was hooked and now lets everyone at the window know that she is there! 
I did have 2 employees come out of a gas station once to give her biscuits they were fascinated by her it was pretty funny. |

| If he's with me when I run to the bank, Bunker will sit so pretty and stare at them waiting for his treat. Generally in the car he's sleeping on the back seat but not the bank drive thru. |

| Ohh...say he has an allergy and will die! But also when you see a mail carreer for awhile stand firm and firmly turn your dof around and wlak the other direction until A. our dog stops pulling to them and B they the mail carriers get the hint. |
