Royal Mail’s Dog Safety Rule | Leicester News

Royal Mail is urging UK dog owners to adopt a “ten-minute rule” to keep postal workers safe—after over 2,000 attacks last year. With 15.5 million dogs in British homes, the service recommends securing pets before mail delivery, even for friendly dogs, since territorial instincts can trigger unpredictable behavior. Top risky areas include Sheffield, and Royal Mail offers free tools like a dog-alert postcard and secure mailbox options. Wait ten minutes after delivery to reintroduce your dog—helping them learn calm behavior and keeping everyone safer.
