Mine are "ok" with people as long as they are true dog people, and when I tell them they are skidish, they move slow, and just know how to introduce themselves to mine!
I have had a woman scoop up her dog and run to the other side of the street But you can imagine what a happy mom I was when we passed them and neither of mine made a peep!
Buddy will bark when he's scared... and what a loud bark he has!! Once I had a couple walking past us on the other side of the street, and Buddy started barking. I was telling him to sit and trying to keep him from barking. It's not like I was letting him bark!! Well the guy yelled from across the street "SHUT UP ALREADY" Ohhh I was so mad.
