Is the following an example of inductive reasoning or deductive reasoning?

Your dog barks very loudly whenever she sees the mailman walk up to your house. You hear the mail truck driving up the street, so you take your dog into a room where she can’t see or hear the mailman coming. While the mailman comes and goes, your dog never barks.
