Dogs are contextual learners so that’s why she’s not like this at home. You need to do gradual training. Start with just one other person standing half a step away, treat her for being calm. Then increase the distance to two steps away and so on.

Awww Seems like she’s protective and has separation anxiety.

counter conditioning worked really well with our rat terrier/mini pinscher mix, but we had a horrible time with separation anxiety when one or both of us needed to leave him behind. he couldn't stand not having eyes on us. we started to use a specific goodbye command before leaving him, "protect..." Protect the house. protect Mama. protect the car. protect Grandma. it tells him we're coming back.

I have a similar problem. I rescued a 7 month old Keeshound puppy and have had him 6 weeks. He & most of his litter were surrendered by the breeder to a rescue. My puppy has crate/kennel PTSD & is terrified of almost everything. He walks great with me in our backyard. As soon as we go on a walk, he gets so nervous:stressed that

He tries to bolt or cowers behind me & I have to “drag” him. Maybe 1-2% of our walks are “normal”. I can walk him solo, or with my other dogs, but cars, people, loud noises scare him. Only thing he doesn’t react to is barking dogs.

mal owner and I was instructed to correct her when she does that (either breaks the down or is in a down but overstimulated and wines or barks - by leash pressure). but, that's my dog. a safer recommendation for a general dog- reduce the difficulty and gradually increase. out at the park, when her humans are active is kinda hard. and reward her only once she's about to be released

RMc :
Is it separation anxiety? She doesn't want the pack separated from her, because she can't help them if they need her? I wonder if she has strong protective instincts? We had a wonderful dog like this who preferred to have everyone behind him of walks, because he was keeping an eye out for us. He was never aggressive, but definitely had a very strong instinct for protection. I learned to pay attention when he didn't like someone which was rare. Maybe practice being silly with her and getting her to relax. Having your group with her and then practicing separating a short distance like here and returning to give her reassurance, many times. Increasing the distance and time slowly may help her learn it's ok. 💕
