The dog perceives the postie as a threat, nothing more than that, to short
cut this there is 2 methods you can use.

Have the postie drop a yummy treat thru the door then the mail, the dog will
register that getting the mail is good and the postie is to be expected, you
can give the treat once the dog leaves the postie alone.

Second you can deliver a well timed aversive to the dog, caution unless you
are very experienced with this stick to the above method.

Hi. My Siberian Husky, Schamali, enjoys going on walks to the park
so much
that, when I leave the house, she decides to go to the park without me.
I just
raised the height of my fence to 6 feet, but she can jump over that, too
(its rather
impressive to watch, she jumps and holds onto the top of the fence, and
then
pushes herself the rest of the way over).
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what I can do to
convince her
that she's safer at home, and not wandering the neighborhood. I guess
my next
steps for physical containment might be an electric wire on top of the
fence, or maybe barbed wire. But I don't want my house to look like a
prison, particularly.
The other options are behavioral, if I could catch her in the act my
admonitions
might do some good. However, there's no evidence that this would
actually stop
her, not to mention that she's to smart to do it while I'm watching
(unless baited).
Do any of you have an idea of what I might do to keep my Husky safe
and in the
yard instead of wandering the streets?
