I agree, but when living deep in the country, as I think the old lady did, it is usual to leave doors open or unlocked, I know I do. I have witnessed my dog having letters drop next to her on the floor or being startled by the postman who has pushed a letter through the letterbox. Our dogs bark away when someone comes to the door so thats a good deterrent for not putting finger though however your idea of the letter cage is worth going for.

The LetterBoxer is the perfect solution for fitting a door with a panel, even if it has extruding mouldings. No matter what kind of mail you receive, this mailbox can take it all in stride, making your life a little bit easier. I'd say this was your mistake -you knew about the grabbing and should have put a stop to it much sooner as you must have realised it COULD happen.

I apologised profusely to the vet when told, more than once, an he told me to please stop worrying about it as it isn't the first time he's been bitten and it won't be the last, and it was't in any way due to aggression. Seriously though, my last dog did bark at him and would have probably got upset over letters being posted, but she never had access to the front door so that wasn't a problem, but I made sure her access to the front garden was restricted unless I went with her. Again, using your logic, a dog that will lash out in pain, say at the vet, will then bite again even if it is successfully treated so the pain goes away. Perfect for letterboxes up to 28cm, please measure your letterbox to make sure it fits, and take into account the 17cm depth of the cage when opening your front door.

Not only will it protect your mail from your furry friend’s curious teeth, but it can also add a touch of style and personality to your home’s exterior. Our product can be fitted to UPVC doors without the need for screws, and everything you need to fit it to your door is included.

I screwed the box to the wood and to prevent screwing jokes into my uPVC door I stuck the wood (with box attached) onto the door with . Mine desparately tries to get to the postman because he carries dog biscuits and she adores him to death.
