What I saw with dogs like that is a couple of things, dogs tire and they lose interest in men moving around them (out of reach) after a while, they give up, especially in heat, and then you can enter their territory, another thing was that they cue on subtle signals on the human, when caught in ambush I had a talent to feel at ease and be the master as though I belonged there, which either deceived them, or overwhelmed them.
Remember they aren’t really sure if you belong or not, they are trying to read you to decide if you are outside of their owners accepted human world or not, they are idiots whose assignment is not as clearly defined as we think it is for them, they are always just winging it on their limited instincts.

I wish I were younger.
She has such a natural knack.
