I was very stressed and anxious during my camping trip the past week. All this on account of my dog. He has been attacked in the past and is thus defensively aggressive; not social with other dogs at all. My boyfriend insisted we go for a walk down to the townsite and beach. I panicked. But all went nearly well. We had a few incidents of growling, snarling, and barking but generally as long as we were able to keep him a minimum of ten feet away he behaved himself. A relief as my anxiety was over the top at about a 15/10 before we headed out but subsided to about a 5/10 by the time we turned around and went back. I was still in alert mode but so much better - and pleased.
