The postman, yes he (Henry) gets shut in the room while I retrieve the letters.. likewise answering the door, he's over friendly and jumps up at people
People can talk to him at the gate and he's fine, but as soon as we go up there he goes nuts, tonight he didn't bark at all
If people talk and then walk away he'll bark, he does it to the lady next door, its as if he's saying "I'm still here!"
he has to have a cooling off period after the postman's been, also we let him check letters and parcels for bombs this stops him barking and jumping at the door, he needs at least an hour because he doesn't forget. Luckily our postman is consistent on times.. worst thing really Henry can open doors so its really hard to lock him in lol
I guess the easy thing to try is covering the gate higher, its about 5 foot tall and at the bottom were he looks through and see if that does any good.. there's no way to stop him getting to the gate
Our last dog you could tell if it didn't like someone, Henry's body language is over excitement, he's a typical Cocker and he's a nutcase but in a nice way, but it doesn't sound like that to someone passing by, he has a hell of a bark for a small dog!
I'll try blocking the rest of the gate out tomorrow
