You are joking aren't you!

You take one of the Dog Paw stickers and place it on the first item of mail for the house with the dog, this will alert you when you get to the delivery point before it. If there are no stickers left in your walk log then simply writing a D in the top corner does a similar thing.

All offices by now should have pre-made dog warning cards which are put into the RM2000 just before tie up and taken out along with the mail.

On a new round and found a gate for a property that had a sign saying 'Loose Dogs' on it. Whether or not to scare burglars away I don't care, I ain't delivering their post lol.
