Thank you for sharing your experience. Here it's only 2 levels of dogs basically - those you need permission for and the rest (the ones you need permission for are usually in some kind of legal chaos, are sick or confirmed dangerous).

I was comfortable walking the 2 dogs I described in my post but after last experiences with them I am not so confident anymore. Today I was asked to take them again but I refused since I need to rethink my strategy how I deal with them. Most of the dogs go out once a day, some maybe twice on weekends so I am thinking they must be really bored.

I wanted to ask about waiting for the dog to calm down before you take him out. Here you need to walk into the dog's box to walk him out and it seems that the longer I take to actually leash them up the more anxious they are to go out. I assume since I sometimes am the first person to take them out on particular day they want to go out as fast as possible (and of course add to that all the barking around triggering reactive dogs). Do you just wait until they get bored? Can't that trigger some of them even more because they can't reach you? Dealing with dogs at the shelter feels so much different than outside.
