Various sources offer useful tips for delivery drivers on staying safe around unfamiliar dogs, which can benefit everyone in their daily lives. First, when you’re near a dog, make sure to announce your presence so you don’t startle it. For instance, greet it with a friendly hello and gauge its reaction.
One of the other things you should do is keep a sufficient distance. Dogs are territorial, and maintaining space helps them feel secure. Avoid petting them without permission or the owner present, as this can trigger a negative reaction.
