I totally agree with you, Matt.
When she acts like this towards strangers on our walks, I don't baby her at all. I've given her a harsh correction for it, and by the posts I've read, it looks like I need to change that. It can upset me that she would be so afraid of people at night, lol.

Here's this big Rottie girl who most people could be afraid of, is cowarding behind me as they pass by. Must be hilarious to watch! :p
I like all your ideas. I think it'll come in handy. :)
Now, I should look into agility!!! :D
