"my dog barked" isn't helpful.. it's the dog's body language and tone of bark that matter.

There's a "hey, I'm over here person! come see me!" bark
A "Look! Another person! Just thought I should let you know" bark
A "Hey person! Don't come any closer because I am defending my person!" bark
A "Hey person, you stay away from me! I am really scared of you, but I am trying to be tough so you'll leave me alone!" bark...

and more, of course.

They all have different body language that goes along with them, and it's important to know your dog's body language and know what bark your dog is giving.

I'm sure he was defending me because it was dark and he didn't bark until the guy crossed the street and headed towards us.

LOL... everyone thinks their dogs are defending them when in reality most times they are probably almost peeing down their legs.

I hear it a lot with some owners who think their dog is so mean. Try telling them their dog is scared of every other dog they meet and they say nah... he just wants to fight...

All I can say is that dogs just know! I had a similar experience. I was walking Ricky, now Ricky LOVES people, and NEVER has growled or bit anyone. So, I was walking him and this guy, a guy that I have NEVER been comfortable with, starts walking up to me, to the point I felt like I was being stalked. I kept walking, suddenly Ricky turned around and started barking and growling at the guy. He got the message and walked away. I love my dog!

Sounds like Ricky and you need to calm down... Only giving the breed a worse reputation, even if Ricky is an AST by breeding, he's a pit bull by everyone else's eye. That behavior is not acceptable. IF the man didn't get vicious with you guys he shouldn't react like that to a human.

True. I'll get him to calm down. Of course, everyonw else he meets, he loves. It was only that guy.

but that can still be a "Look! Another person! Just thought I should let you know" bark
or it could very well be defending.

True. I'll get him to calm down. Of course, everyonw else he meets, he loves. It was only that guy.

but the point is, that he was picking up on your feeling about the guy. He won't be able to calm down if you're not calm. Easier said than done, I know.
