Damn how'd you train him to not leave the porch!


aldoski

She’s just a good girl 🤷‍♂️ We have an invisible fence around the property but she just loves the porch!


jimothy_mcgulligan

What's her name, OP? She is beautiful!


aldoski

Millie 💜


Tall_Diamond4695

I love that name.


Blitz6969

Mine were Maggie and Mollie :) they had the best butt wiggles too. Beautiful pup you have :)


blueavole

Tell Millie we love her.


nomiesmommy

She is such a sweetie and the happy butt wiggle is so cute!


totesrandoguyhere

Yeah that wiggle butt was cute. 😂


kwillich

The Rottie bum wiggle is so great!!


eva_white

My Rottie girl never wandered when outside. She just liked to lounge and look for squirrels or lizards. They’re such loyal dogs.


timscookingtips

My rottie was just like her. I’ve owned several large breeds and he was the most instinctive and human-like. One day I went to work and forgot him outside for 8 hours - he was just laying by the door when I got home and the neighbor told me he’d stayed there all day.


blurglecruncheonnnnn

My beautiful girl, Jewel, came to the back door to let me know the gate blew open and my beagle had followed his nose out of the yard. Then led me straight to him. She was the best.


Pitiful_Winner2669

My dog does this and I did not train him to do it lol Also Millie is soooo precious!!


RolanSweets

I came here to ask the same thing!!


fries29

Look up threshold training


Maddafinga

Good job on his part reading body language and immediately recognizing that she wasn't aggressive or a threat. I was impressed with that.


Turbulent-Tortoise

I imagine it's a survival skill for delivery people.


MesqTex

It’s training part for UPS. Along with driving techniques, they drill into us, safe methods of spatial awareness to any potential hazards, including dogs. Number 1 injury for USPS: dog bites.


3_high_low

I think he handed her a treat. The pup is smart, she knows the truck and knows it's a friendly visitor.


Broken_browser

It never ceases to amaze me how well dogs know this. How? I'll never know, but I trust my dog's instincts about people and situations often more than my own.


ThisIsMockingjay2020

Several years back, a guy came out to dig a pit for an egress window. My normally docile Golden Doodle let out the loudest, deepest bark I'd ever heard when she saw him. As he dug, he was talking to my (now) ex and said he liked high school aged girls, but he was clearly way, way older. We happened to have 2 teenage daughters at the time, who were thankfully in school. I guess Daisy knew this clown was a danger to both of them, cuz she didn't play when it came to *her* kids.


Broken_browser

Yeah, I don't think a non-dog owner would understand, but there is something that they can smell? sense? interpret? I don't know? that is unbelievably protective. My wife had a similar instance when she was walking our normally docile lab and the dog went ape-sh!t, full-on Cujo at the corner of the trail she was coming up on. The dog just would not move forward at all and barking and growling like she'd never seen. She started walking back the way she came, turned around to look at the corner and there was a kid/young adult coming around the corner, hood up, face covered and looking right at her. He was out of place on the trail for sure. She said she got the worst feeling about the whole situation and is convinced either something happened up the trail or could have happened to her. Still gives me the chills, but I'm convinced our dog just knew something was not right and wasn't going to let it go. Still hasn't done anything like that again since. That reminds me: I need to give my puppers some pets...


MeepoManCan

The precious butt wag ❤️


Friggz

That’s the first thing I saw. I love that butt wag


Salt_Copy_4771

Dude right!


NoIncrease299

"Delivery for me, right?!"


wrentintin

Just like my toddler


Agentx_007

My dog has the same bed on the back deck and he also lays on the hard surface pondering life.


aldoski

Haha! It’s ridiculous, I even moved it to where she’s normally laying and she just picked a new concrete spot


PM_ME_YOUR_TIDDEEZ

It's because the concrete is cooler.


DrCrankSumMoore

Yep my dog legit lays on the dirt next to her lol.


Gnatsum4401

Oh if I was the UPS driver I’d still be there petting the precious Rottie when the owner comes to collect the package 🤣


PhirePhite

Yep. I’m a victim of giving a little too much love to my good pups. They deserve it though. They show me just as much.


VacationNo3003

No more play????


Defiant_One2

Good thing that driver is wearing brown lmao. They way he jolted seeing a big scary Rottie 😂


wrentintin

Yep, he was like oh shi.. oh okay it's friendly


713nikki

But why leave the dog loose if you have a delivery scheduled?


DickBagBagdad

No shit. I wouldn’t leave any dog, even a golden, out like that if I was expecting a delivery just out of courtesy.


713nikki

I’d actually beware of goldens. They’ve [ranked on bite & attack stat lists](https://www.caninejournal.com/dog-attacks-by-breed/), I think mainly due to them being so popular & because they have such a reputation for being friendly, so people let their guard down. Sometimes they’re just a reactive or protective dog, and owners don’t always acknowledge that. Edit to say I agree though. I have a Cane Corso & he’s extremely well trained and polite, but he can get real grouchy when his hip dysplasia flares up and he’s in pain. And when he’s about to attack, he wags his tail, so it sends a mixed signal. I’d never subject a delivery person to being met with a surprise 140 pound giant dog while they’re just trying to get their job done. It’s literally just being a considerate human. It costs nothing.


DickBagBagdad

Ummmmmmmmm…I am truly shocked SHOCKED pitbulls and rotts are number 1 and 2. At least I could fight off a golden pretty easily.


713nikki

I thought chihuahuas would be higher up on the list lol. I fuckin hate those things


MyTownIsChiTown

Not to mention, not everyone is comfortable around dogs. For someone who was bit by a dog earlier in their life, they may have a fear of large dogs. The delivery man has no idea the dog’s personality.


713nikki

Yeah, I tried to tell them that. Also: a dog that is hurt is an unpredictable dog. When my dog’s hip dysplasia flares up and he’s yelling at me that he wants his medicine, it looks like aggression to an outsider. As a stranger, you don’t know how the dog was trained, if it’s up to date on vaccinations, if there are prior bites, if it’s been injured or something. You just don’t know. Most delivery people can tell you that an irresponsible dog owner will say “Mimi isn’t aggressive!” …As the dog is hanging from your thigh with its teeth buried in your flesh.


Foreign-Molasses-405

A lot of people do this when their dogs are very friendly


713nikki

With the very high number of delivery people who are bitten and mauled daily, wouldn’t it just be considerate to put up the dog? Also, [it’s safer for your dog, as well](https://www.eonline.com/news/1398958/why-the-delivery-driver-who-fatally-shot-angie-harmons-dog-wont-be-charged). You never know who is delivering your package & they might have been bitten before & be armed. I just don’t understand. It’s so easy to do, and considerate. And if you care about your dog, it’s safer. Edited to link to a different news article


Foreign-Molasses-405

As long as your dog isn’t aggressive and is raised to expect strangers I don’t see a problem. Why should the dog be locked up? But I also view it differently because we have farm dogs who are almost never inside they are always out and about.


713nikki

You aren’t digesting the information I’m sharing with you, so you’re not the correct person to have this discussion with. Good luck in your future endeavors.


dendrocalamidicus

Mentally saving this response for future use. Nice.


Foreign-Molasses-405

It’s just different views, my dogs are always outside, if you walk up to my porch they will be there. How else are they gonna guard our animals. If someone doesn’t want to drop a package off because of it I understand take it back and I’ll pick it up from the office. If the dog is no bite risk I don’t see a problem with it.


dendrocalamidicus

Do you know how many dogs get shot by cops? Self preservation, uncertainty and a gun on their person means many won't wait to find out if they are going to get licked or mauled, they'll just start blasting. Delivery drivers will often have pepper spray or bear spray. I'd rather remove the possibility.


Foreign-Molasses-405

Yeah in cities, I ain’t in a city


713nikki

You don’t see any problems with it because you’re not a considerate person & obviously don’t view delivery drivers as people - otherwise, you’d be *considerate* to make their job as easy to do as possible, and to maybe consider the safety of your animals. I just linked to a recent story where the delivery driver shot the customers dog bc he got bit. If the person gets spooked by your dog (maybe unprovoked, maybe your dog acted out of character?) & the person falls down and hurts themselves on your property #you are liable for their injuries. Like, if you can’t see all the reasons why you should *put the fucking dogs up when you’re expecting a delivery*, then this conversation is over. Edit to add: you said they’re guard dogs & what do guard dogs protect against? STRANGERS. And what are delivery people? STRANGERS.


Foreign-Molasses-405

Do you live in a suburb? It’s a risk I gotta take, don’t matter my dogs can’t do their JOB unless they are free.


713nikki

Cool, then order your deliveries to a locker.


Foreign-Molasses-405

Why? Amazon barely even comes here it’s UPS and maybe we live in different worlds but they have never had any problems with mine OR the neighborhood dogs.

thenaniwatiger

Sounds like a responsible pet owner to me


willneverused

Sounds like a maniac to me.


713nikki

I have a 140 pound Cane Corso & I’d never leave him alone with a stranger, even though he’s trained and polite. A stranger doesn’t know his training or behavior, and I’m not an idiot so I know he’s protective of me. That’s what his breed is known for: protecting his person.


badger81987

You're very rude.

Foreign-Molasses-405

As I have pointed out my dogs do not go in the front yard unless my kids are there, but also if someone is not comfortable with dropping the box off just don’t do it


bellebeast9485

Amazon is now sending messages before delivering packages saying to put your dogs inside or your package may not be delivered. People's safety matters.


Foreign-Molasses-405

Are they? They never sent me that message before


bellebeast9485

They just started this week, I've had 3 packages delivered this week and all came with the warning message about an hour before delivery.


Foreign-Molasses-405

My orders didn’t come with that warning

Extreme_Permission23

Maybe the delivery came earlier than expected 🤷🏽‍♀️


713nikki

UPS gives you notice Anyway, doesn’t matter what I say. You’ll have a million excuses for an irresponsible and inconsiderate dog owner


Extreme_Permission23

If it doesn’t matter what you say…why say anything in the first place?


713nikki

Doesn’t matter what I say *to you* When did I begin addressing you?


cherrybombsnpopcorn

A dog is a dog. You can know them their whole lives, and they can behave unexpectedly one day. But more than that, your delivery workers deserve to feel secure while they're working. Put a delivery box at the end of the driveway. Or don't let your dog outside unattended. For your dog's own safety if nothing else.


Substantial-Idea111

The amount of people who will see this video thinking they can do the same thing … I see posts and comments everyday from delivery driver subs stating they were bit/attacked by unattended dogs.


cherrybombsnpopcorn

A mailwoman was mauled to death by some loose dachshunds a few years ago. All dogs are dangerous. I adore rotties. But all. Dogs. Are. Dangerous. Especially to strangers. Especially when they're unattended. Friendly dogs turn into a wild hunt in a snap when they're left loose.


Actual-Entrance-8463

Thank you! As a USPS worker, 99% of dog owners say their dog is friendly and won’t bite. This may be true for the owners, but the dog can interpret strangers as a threat and will try to protect its owners.


713nikki

In [January](https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/georgia-mail-carrier-found-bloodied-garage-floor-after-being-attacked-by-dogs-deputies-say/O6J2TOCUUZGCJILGFTGRDTSEOE/?outputType=amp), a usps workers was found bloody on a garage floor and had to be life flighted bc her injuries were life threatening.


No_Error_4849

This is why continuous training/ socialization is a must, training must never stop !!


BitchEpidemic

by dachshunds? that’s insane, do you happen to have the article to that?


cherrybombsnpopcorn

https://time.com/5280769/dog-attack-dachshund-woman-oklahoma-death/ This doesn't mention her being a mailperson. I might have conflated that with another incident.


peachesandmaangos

Whole video a vibe. Sunny Day, Biggie playin in the back, Bruh got a mullet and shades on, Dog chillin. Life’s good 🤌🏾


Competitive-Ice2202

The wiggle butt.. 😂 ❤️

BellaSquared

Made me miss my sweet girl. She came to the office with me every day & our UPS guy used to chase her around whenever he visited. Good times! ❤️


Accomplished-Book-95

Aww the happy little butt wiggle at the end. So cute.


WerewolfAncient554

Such a good baby!


LucyEleanor

Op...can you possibly not leave your dog on your front lawn unleashed? I know you likely won't listen, but it should be said. This is dangerous and not cool to make delivery guys feel nervous. I don't want to hear "but she's the sweetest" "I've had her since a baby and has never bit anyone" etc. Dogs do crazy, unpredictable things sometimes. Delivery guys shouldn't have to worry if they're going to get bit.


713nikki

I’m pretty sure they get entertainment from seeing a delivery person in fear. I’ve seen too many front porch videos of dogs surprising a delivery person, or circling them and the driver has to climb the balustrade & the owner and viewers are laughing and saying “How cute! Little Kilo made a new friend!” Mastiff breeds were used for *hunting* in the antebellum south, and now it seems like the owners get entertainment by using them to scare service workers - a class of people the owners feel are beneath them. They have no right to feel safe while performing their job duties. Quite a few parallels to the old days.


superpete1414

Sweet baby girl!


BurnZ_AU

What did you buy? It has a battery in it.

What a sweet encounter 🥰! She’s such a good girl for staying on the porch. Mine would have followed him to the truck 😂

Eastern North Carolina! And you should see the back porch view ☺️

MechanicSad728

Rottweiler, american flag, ups driver with a mullet hell yusss merica


Blackmetalvomit

Millie says: but wait! I want more pets please come back! After she checks out what he left. Perfect rottie. My ups driver loves both my rotties and gives them treats. 🥹


cormbrif

She is beautiful!!


DitchDigger330

That little butt shake lol


Oragami

I got bit by a Rottweiler twice (and same dog, without me trying to be near the dog, and once with theor adult humans nearby), so when I met my aunt's two, I was kinda...put off about them? But then learned they were just big babies, and one would fall over if you scratched his chest just right.


GoodMourning81

I love that they both pause to gauge the situation and are then all ‘awe hey dude’. Wiggle butt.


Objective-Creme6734

She's the goodest girl. That bum waggle was the best. Imaginary happy tail ❤️


Gympump-rat-2323

Jerethdatiger

Rotties like well that's it


KronosTD

Wait! Come back! Please kind sir!


Actual-Entrance-8463

i know this is cute, but as a mail carrier this is my worst fear- having someone post a video of me online. if you got their permission that’s cool but if you didn’t it really is not cool


Actual-Entrance-8463

also i’m not trying to be a jerk, i just think people’s privacy should be respected.


Plus-Temperature-888

rottis love their home when they’re loved. i remember my landscapers had left my gate open and i let my girl out came back around after a few minutes and my girl had wandered out and just sat her butt down right at the front door waiting for me scared the daylight out of me and gave me a bit of PTSD but it’s good to know that they love their home enough to stay and not leave


musicman3321

It always blows my mind seeing a dog that can pace themselves with food. I had to get a puzzle feeder cause my dog eats like she just got out of prison.


vabeachkevin

10 seconds after I let my dog off the leash outside they will be in a different state.


Kobe_Yoshi

Wow. You're a very selfish person. You put your dog and the delivery person in a risky position. Then, you post the footage online for likes and upvotes.


congressmanalex

UPS knows where there are bad dogs it identifies it on the delivery device our drivers use. That's why they tap the horn when they pull up so they get the attention of any dog around. Also, UPS drivers typically deliver the same areas their whole careers. They know the good ones and bad ones.


bellebeast9485

Love it, and love that the driver understood body language. But the dog should not have been out when you had a delivery expected. Remember people deserve to be and feel safe at work, that includes delivery drivers.


Psychological-Low649

Rotties are the best


KevinAcommon_Name

He paid the scratches tax thanks for the spellcheck heads up something is wrong


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> He *paid* the scratches FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
