Dogs can be afraid of other dogs for many reasons, one may be that your dog is a very submissive dog. When other dominant dogs approach the to other dog will be submissive and scared. Another reason the dog will be scared is because it may have been abused by owner, or beaten up by other dogs.

Some people are afraid of dogs if in past they have been attacked or bitten by dogs, or are afraid that they might be. My brother used to be a bit scared of big dogs after he was bitten by a relatives dog.

Dogs will bite one another for a variety of reasons. It could be aggression triggered by possessiveness over a toy, food, space, or other object of value. Aggression can also be triggered by fear, a clash of dominate personalities, or a disagreement over position in the "pack." Aggression between dogs of the same gender is common. However, biting doesn't always mean aggression. Dogs will often mouth or bite one another in play, just like kids will grab or tackle one another. As longs as the dogs aren't hurting one another, it is nothing to worry about. If they are, find out what is triggering the biting and contact a dog trainer or behaviorist.

Well, dogs can be very territorial. So if a different dog walks by the yard or house they bark at them letting them know this is their territory.
