Kitty and all,
She has seen this happen mostly towards men; some ladies, but mostly
men. She has said that the dog also reacts when people--whether men or
women--look suspicious. This has not always been an issue, but some of
their environments have been quite stressful.

We have been trying hard to pinpoint times when the aggression seems
to happen mostly. She goes to a church, where te noise is very loud.
It sometimes happens after services. We are going to try and remove
the dog from the loud environment, especially when the noise is high.
The suspicious people? We don't know what to do. The men? I know she
has a husband and am not sure how he acts towards the dog at home.
Could his actions cause a reaction in the dog, when he's not around?
You all are really a blessing. We both are well aware that agression
is not a good trait for any dog, but especially a guide dog. We know
that prosecution could cause this dog to be put down and/or removed
from her. We want this to be prevented. Thank you so very much.
