Why does my dog seem nervous during night time walkies?

      I take my dog on two daily walks: one in the morning and one at night. During the day, she’s confident, well-behaved, and unfazed by her surroundings. But at night, it’s like she becomes a completely different dog. She’s nervous and jumpy and barks at passersby. Could this be due to limited vision in the dark, or maybe there’s something wrong with her eyesight? Or is there another reason she reacts so differently after sunset? Has anyone else’s dog experienced this?

      I totally get what you’re saying. My dog acts the same way at night! When we go for evening walks, he’s so on edge, like he’s constantly on high alert. It’s like every little sound that doesn’t faze him during the day sends him into a frenzy. It’s strange because he’s completely relaxed during the day, but at night, it’s a whole different story. I’ve noticed he’s way more comfortable in well-lit areas, making me wonder if he’s just a little afraid of the dark. Does anyone else’s dog act like this? It’s like he can’t shake that extra nervous energy once the sun goes down!
