Yes. Any service professional can refuse to endanger his or herself. I avoid homes with dogs that frighten me. So will EMS, fire department, water/sewer, cable, etc. If your dog is large and appears to be menacing, (and you live in the USA) you do not want the police to show up. We all know what will happen.

Yes,the mailperson doesnot have to put life and limb in peril if there is an animal that is showing signs that it may attack.Many mail carriers have been attacked by dogs,so this right to refuse delivery to an unsafe address is used when there is what the carrier believes to be a clear sign that an animal is unfriendly.You can go to your post office and talk to the supervisor and the carrier to work something out;it could be that your dog and the carrier just need to be formally introduced so your dog doesn't feel that its property is being breeched by an intruder.

Yes and it is completely legal for them to do so. They notify the proper authorities and hold mail at the post office for pick up. If they and their supervisor fear for their safety they do not have to attempt to deliver the mail.

Yes they can. That home will get a letter from the post office advising them that they will have to pick-up their mail at the post office.

Only if he has tried to make love to the dog and it refused.

I think they should be able to. If you have a hostile dog, it should be locked away, not in the front yard.

Yes - I think they can, but they must contact the person another way

Yes they can! There is a process they have to go through, but they can indeed.
