If Rocky were actually " man aggressive"- it would show up alllll the time.. It could even be that like Hottie, who defends "his van" and mom is not there- but if I open the door he is fine- if its defending the house without introduction could be the trigger. I really do not see that case either really. You said you were coming up behind him as he entered- Rocky put himself between you and him not knowing,.
A saint is a huge dog- and not prone to aggression normally- .. I am glad you are going to try the walks- then he has no question you allowed this person to enter the house..
