I agree 100%. Part of being a responsible owner is KNOWING your dog, too, imo. Yes, you may have a well-trained dog, but if you know that you have a naturally nervous dog, or a dog that it prone to any aggression at all, it is the owners job to take note of those things and take necessary measures to prevent problems. I had a big baby of a pit bull for 13 years and she was very, very sweet and never showed aggression, but she was a bit nervous. I made sure that she was always properly restrained. I wasn't taking any chances.
