other parcel providers dog attacks

[2yearpostie]

Would it be possible for a database shared between all the couriers when they are attacked by a dog and then no one delivers to that address from any company until its sorted.

The last few times its happened to me the owners didnt even say sorry let alone want to do do anything about it until the managers forced them by suspending deliveries.

If they knew no deliveries from anyone would happen it might kick them into gear?

The rate of dog attacks for other couriers is very low.

There are a few obvious reasons.

1. They are usually expected.
2. They usually park a large van outside the house.
3. In the case of Hermes/Evri they tend to lob it from the gate.

We deliver by stealth, like ninjas but fatter and clumsier.

And we wear bright red,
My mate had a border collie that would attack red buses on sight, like literally charge straight into the side of them.
I bet there is a coralation between red clothing / mail bags and dog attacks.

I think you'll find that is bulls.

It is....
Dogs have something called yellow-blue dichromatic vision.

Dogs' eyes only have two cones. This means that not only can they not perceive the colors red or green, but they can't perceive shades containing either of those colors, such as pink, purple, and orange. Dogs are also unable to perceive subtle changes in a color's brightness or shade.

It is of course possible that because they can't distinguish these colours very well it somehow confuses the dog but there's nothing to suggest that is true.

It's likely they see reds and greens, orange, purples and pinks and as just different shades of browns or greys, probably a bit depressing but not enough to send you into a frenzy.

Imo its to do with us invading their territory in a fairly predictable way every day, we usually arrive at the same-ish time, make the same noises, wear similar clothes, have red bags etc... To the dog, couriers will more likely be perceived in the same way they would a regular person. I walk to work through the park sometimes, in my uniform, never once had one bother me. They're obviously focused on the sights, smells and are occupied. When we call they're bored, then we punctuate that boredom by invading their space, and it causes an exitable reaction.
I think about this a lot, just find it endlessly interesting why they find us so offensive.

So many variables but agree that this is possibly one of the reasons. I can literally meet the same dog that is goes bats**t crazy at me at the house
but 30 metres down the road is nice as pie and doesn't bat an eyelid. But again then there's another one that goes crazy at the house
and when I see it being taken for a walk I will cross the road because it still goes off it's head and it's only a little thing and the old
dear who walks it struggles to keep hold of it and I wouldn't want it to give me a nip.
