My dog has a problem with mail delivery. I don’t blame him, as he grew up with a mail slot and that’s got to be a little traumatic.
But my last two addresses I’ve had to physically move my mailbox. He chews at the mail slot when mail comes through, and chews at the window sill closest to the mail delivery if there isn’t a slot.
I don’t want him to chew up the new place (he bites nothing else), and I figure now, before he forms habits there, is the time to start training it.
I work from home half days, which means I can’t monitor him all the time. Do I hire someone, and make sure he’s either with me, the trainer, or not home until he can be consistently good about the mail?
He doesn’t have a Place command, but he can be briefly distracted from the mail slot with a treat so far.
