@msjosie My rescue is human shy, she likes to say hi at her pace and does not want people reaching over her head (she gets mad scared).
I had only had her for a few months (she was 6 mo ish) and a kinda strange (very odd) man approached us on our walk (Cambridge ma). He told me he thought she was really pretty and I said thanks and kind of kept waking, he stepped infront of us and my dog decided that was a nope. She wouldn't let him get closer to her or me, she puffed up, showed teeth it was super odd. We got out of there as the guy was still rambling about how he was a dog trainer and knew all this shit. We saw him one other time and she did the same thing but from across the street. I've never seen her react like that towards any other human since (2 years since)...
My dog only ever puffs her back up when she's scared of a dog barking at her (never with humans even if she's scared, and she isn't a show her teeth kind of girl more of a run away behind me kind of fighter)... I've just decided she hated that guy for a reason I couldn't tell... and I'm glad we haven't seen him or similar people since...
