I've been wondering if there's anything I can do to build upon Xena's confidence level? She's still a pup (8 months). I just notice when I take her out to potty, that she's a bit nervous about people in their yard usually only at night when it's dark out and difficult to see. She will try to run away if they are close enough so she can hide. I know we can get her over this with time, but it's so weird. Other times when she sees and hears things, she's totally fine. maybe just a bit curious is all. It has me puzzled. So, what can I do to build her confidence? What kind of training exercises help?

Thanks. :)
