Brenna has always been fearful of people, when I first got her it was not uncommon for her to quietly growl or sometimes bark at people just passing by on our walks though she has never indicated aggression though. I'm happy to report that she is doing much better. While she is still nervous she will usually pass or be passed by people with no growling or barking.
She has always done great with dogs, she goes with me to work (grooming + doggie daycare) where she interacts with no problems on a daily basis with dogs. However, on leash, she has started to bark and pull towards dogs when out on walks. I never allow her to get close, so I don't know if it would be considered leash aggression or not, but it's really concerning me.
Do you have any advice? I will usually pull her to the side of the trail/sidewalk and try to face her so her side faces the dog, so she isn't in a challenging position with them.
