So true!! Max is tramatized and gets so scared when he sees a stranger dog. I have a really nice dog walking trail near my home and we take daily walks. He used to love meeting new dogs and would wag his tail with excitement when he saw them. Now when he sees stranger dogs he tenses up and barks/growls at them. I am working on his fear with him and hope one day he will trust other dogs again.
