What is the first thing you do if a dog is loose at the delivery location?

• A. Stay in the vehicle and call the customer
• B. Walk up to the door and knock
• C. Exit the vehicle and approach the dog
• D. Take a photo and proceed

Answer: (A)

Staying in the vehicle and calling the customer is the best move because safety comes first. A loose dog can suddenly react, and exiting the vehicle to approach or knock on the door puts you at risk of being bitten or overwhelmed. By remaining inside, you keep a barrier between you and the dog while you contact the customer to confirm whether someone is home, arrange for the dog to be secured, or get instructions for a safe delivery. The customer can provide guidance such as having someone else secure the dog or giving alternate delivery instructions. Taking a photo and proceeding or approaching the dog could lead to a risky situation or misdelivery, so the immediate action is to stay inside and call the customer.
