Dogs that are in group rarely obey. It is not their nature. The greeting of any pack or non-pack member is always the same. Confident domination with alpha's, followed by less dominate response with beta's, and sheer viscious aggression with Gamma pack members. If you are present and the dogs see you as Alpha they will follow your greeting to the stranger. Therefore have you walk up and greet the UPS guy with them tethered to show his acceptance into the packs area. Welcome him/her into the pack and have them pet the tethered dogs. The dogs will follow this when you are present. If you are gone everything is different. No way of knowing their response. Pack animals never split up and when they do the order we want changes each time.
I think UPS needs to change their look.
