Overcoming My Fear of Dogs in My New Delivery Job

I would look up signs of aggression in dogs. I think it may help you to know what to look for to keep yourself safe, and if you don't see those things that you'll very likely be safe. Unless it's something you think you would obsess over, then probably don't lol. ALSO thick ass long socks if you're able. Saved me from a really nasty bite one time. All I got was a scratch, if I hadn't had them it probably would've been a hospital visit. That's the only time I've ever been attacked by a dog and I've been around hundreds of dogs I didn't know. By nature if they're scared enough to cause you harm, they'll typically rather avoid you if you're able. Also if you do feel threatened by a particular dog, don't take your eyes off of them. They're less likely to come at you if you're watching.

Mosy people have their dogs under control. I have been delivering for almost a year, and I've only had one incident where I thought a dog could be dangerous. The owner came out before I got out of my car.
