It’s only happened a couple times, and I’ve though it was because they were “dog sized” so don’t necessarily want to label it people reactive/aggressive, but wondering if anyone has experienced that and what you did about it?

This probably isn’t what you’d like to hear, OP, but we were never able to get the reactivity to go away. We spent 3+ years working hard on it with trainers, Prozac, avoidance techniques etc. Ultimately we had to rehome the dog when the reactivity turned to our own small child.

You might want to use a muzzle -- you can work with a trainer to get the dog used to it & will save you from serious accident while you are working on the reactivity.
