4. Distract Them with a Toy
If you can predict when the mailman is coming (thanks to those convenient tracking apps), prepare by giving your dog a puzzle toy or treat-dispensing ball right before the delivery. This will distract them and keep their focus on something other than their arch-nemesis at the door.
5. The Power of Routine
Dogs are creatures of habit, and they thrive on routine. If your dog knows that after the mailman’s visit, it’s time for their walk or play session, they might just learn to tolerate his presence. Mailmen: no longer the enemy, but the harbinger of fun.
