I don't have any aggresion issues with Logan, but i also socialized the crap out of him from the moment I got him. I got him the 4th of July weekend and took him to a family reunion on sat. & a friends party on sun. So he got used to all kinds of people real fast. The only times he gets a little shy or scared is if someone rushes him. He likes to be the aggressive one, or approach people on his own terms and most of the times he does because he runs right up to people before they even see him. Maybe somethng you can do to help is act like a kid yourself. Ever since he was little him and I would go outside and play chase. I would jump around and act like a idiot and he would jump and bark and chase me. and if he ever snapped or bit to hard I would just say no. That way he got used to fast sporatic movement in a safe environment.
We had a Scottish terrier when I was a kid that bit everyone. Even me and mom, so it had nothing to do with strangers. I was a small child at the time. Something I realized that my mom thinks I'm nuts, but I think it might have merit is that everytime he bit me it was in a kinda dark place and I was moving in very quickly to pet him. If I moved slowly I was fine. I think it had something to do with instincts. He saw this quick movement in the dark and went after it as if it were a rabbit or something. Just a thought. We never got him over it and he had to be put away any time strangers were about.
