Summary
Postal workers in Wailuku are getting serious training to handle aggressive dogs on the job—because safety can’t wait. With over 5,200 dog attacks reported nationwide last year, even Hawaii’s lower numbers (nine bites) mean every bite is too many. Carriers now learn dog behavior and de-escalation tactics to prevent attacks before they happen. If threatened, workers can legally halt mail delivery to a home—forcing owners to pick it up themselves. Plus, dog owners are urged to keep pets secured, leashed, and calm during deliveries. It’s a win-win: safer routes for carriers, safer neighborhoods for everyone. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
