Does your dog get the post for you?

kai does it only took her 10 mins to learn the command no ripping or anything she also gets my shoes kai will do anything for abit of cheese and it came to the point when the post will come and without a word she will bolt for the door grab the post and sit pleased with herself waiting quite the thing for a cube of cheese clever madame does any of your dogs get the post or anything else for that matter ?

I'd be impressed if mine did considering it's in a locked post box mounted by the front gate

Our post lady decided we don't exist, although we know we have post (no mail for 8 days) so no!

have you phoned the post office? do any of your neighbours have the same problem?

Yep, well Griffin will, Chester doesn't see the point unless the front door is actually going to be opened . Griffin has been loving his retrieves though so he'll now pretty much bring me anything I ask for so long as he knows the name, it's proving to be very useful actually!!

i just had an vision of a dog opening the little box and collecting it

I do not allow my dogs to collect the post, there are often dangerous things in it like samples of washing powder, pens etc etc.

her teeth do not rip the paper she knows the command gentle hold that wont even rip paper so she would not be hurt by any objects just like holding mail yourself realy

I have an outside postbox now since my little JRT ripped up a sample of weed killer that come through my door while I was out.
Luckily I was only out about 30-40mins so rushed him straight to the vets and they treated him promptly.

But if post did come through the door my greyhounds wouldn't bother using energy to get off the sofa to look at it let alone fetch it. They won't even get up if a person comes to the door

Yes we have complained, and yes my neighbour has had no mail also. We are quite isolated, my neighbour is a Guardian ad Litum and my husband runs his business from home, we have all been waiting for post that was urgent but hadn't arrived. Mt friend posted a parcel on a Wednesday first class, I got it the following Wednesday! A total rip off.

This has happened before and it is almost impossible to complain but I think our post lady has finally got the message!

Our local paper has taken up the story!
