I have a dog and a five year old. The dog will, indeed, engage with the mail person; he won’t bark, but he’ll stand at the window and kind of huff.
One time, he did so and my child also ran over to the window, asking something like “who is that?!” I jokingly suggested that the kid could help the dog to defend the property.
Since then, whenever the kid notices anyone unexpected on the porch, they run to the window going “huff! Huff!” I haven’t seen any delivery people react yet, but I have to wonder what they think.
