Not every dog that looks aggressive is actually aggressive.
There is a big difference between a reactive dog, an aggressive dog, and a dog that looks intense in the moment. Some dogs are loud, explosive, and scary-looking, but underneath that reaction could be fear, insecurity, frustration, or a lack of clear direction.
That difference matters because how you handle the dog depends on what you are actually dealing with.
