Best way to say, "My dog is friendly."

Best way to say, "My dog is friendly."

In some situations (like with a nervous UPS driver approaching my house) I call out "¡Mi perro no es bravo!"

Other times, "Mi perro es amicable."

Other suggestions?

Next time, go to the other extreme with a Newfoundland. The sweetest, most tranquil dog in the universe. That is, if you have a king-size mattress solely for him or her. - 0057ed01, NOV 19, 2009

¡Mi perro no es peligroso!

Mi perro no muerde, no se precocupe!

No se preocupe, mi perro no hace nada.

Mi perro es (muy) amable.

Unfortunately, I have a chihuhua so I won't be using this phrase anytime soon.

Thank you. Good suggestions.

I've also used some of these, the "no muerde" one in particular. But they all use a negative to describe a positive quality.

Is there no simple way to say "my dog is friendly?"

Does either "amicable" or "amable" work?
