I agree. This story reminded me of our CO Dasha as a pup. We spent a deal of time socializing her to crowds (we often took her to several local street art/music festivals). She was nonreactive to dogs and people milling about, but when a dog larger than herself locked eyes with her, it was like ringing the match bell, lol. She grew out of it (we also kept up the socialization) and is now very confident, but won't take any guff, so to speak. :lol:
