In my experience (wife is a breeder of shepherds), the ones cause it.
I’ve literally seen a puppy come back that was “scared of its own shadow”, that I’ve taken out to loud chaotic environments with out a reaction from the dog.
I’ve seen a perfectly stable pup go out, and become fearful of the world.
The wife no longer sells pups to service dog homes where the potential owner has anxiety issues, shepherds are very emotionally sensitive and pick up on the owners anxiety, it imprint it.
I’ve also seen dogs that weren’t the most stable goto solid homes and come out rock solid.
