I think you have pretty much answered your own question. Dogs really aren't that complicated all the time, if you think of them from a commen sense point of view.

Akina, my new foster Shiba, a dog who's life has mostly envovled of her former owners fenced back yard, and one other dog she lived with does better when there is no other people or animals along our walks, does better in a quiet area, and prefers to walk in an area that is lighted.
Last night it was foggy and very dark out she seemed to be spooking herself.
