dogs.

Was bitten while entering a customer's garden while carrying triple
extension ladders, I kicked it in the head and the owner said, ' you can
pack that in'....I still don't know whether he was talking to me or the dog.
Only that once in 25 years of working at people's houses - most normal folk
who have uncontrollable mutts keep them locked up when you are there - it
takes a combination of idiot dog *and* owner for an attack to take place.

Microchips are all well and good provided you can catch the damn dog
in the first place. Why not compulsory muzzles when outside the home,
regardles of size or breed? Job done.

That's not always true..
my mom had a recue poodle..
it was well behaved with everyone..
well everyone until my brother visited for the first time..
as soon as the dog saw him it went barking mad and does so every time he
went there.
It never did that with anyone else.

Dogs I don't mind.

It's being bitten by customers I seriously object to.

Was it a standard poodle?

It is well know that the minature and toy poodles are also called fanny
lickers.

And does anyone believe it will make any difference? How many postal
workers have been bitten whilst walking in the street. I suspect that if
they are bitten/attacked it will when delivering to a property

Nope, not ever.

Dogs have one hell of a capacity to only bite those who fear being bitten by
dogs.

They operate on 'front' much more than any other domesticated species.

'front' isnt quite the right word but cant think of anything better.

Its all about aura with dogs.

Those that get bitten don’t even realise how dogs operate.

We've had compulsory microchipping for years now and its made
no difference what so ever to those who get bitten as part of their
job, essentially because the worst of the dog owners don’t bother
regardless of what the law requires.

And we have had a number of small children killed
by dogs too and a rather smaller number of adults.
