Postive reinforcement. Keep the dog on the lead and whenever you see a dog get your dog to sit, look at you and hold a treat in your hand and let your dog nibble it. don't let your dog have it until the dog has passed.If your dog manages to nibble it up before the other dog has passed, don't panic, stay calm and just walk on. Eventually your dog will learn that other dogs are not a threat and are a good thing.
How about enrolling in a group obedience class class with her?She needs to learn how to behave around other dogs. And you need to learn how to get her to pay attention to you and not obsess on the other dogs.Taking a class will be a real bonding experience for you both, and and excellent opportunity to meet new friends and other dog owners. It will be money well spent and the skills you learn will last a lifetime - make you a better dog owner for all the dogs that will come into your life in the future, too.
hm-mm..lacking social skills are we? There is a proper way to say "hi" in doggy lingo but your dog is not aggressive, she simply hasn't been taught the proper way to say "hi". True aggression means your dog has intentions to literally eat up the other dog, so that's not the case. (Caesar Mill an has given viewers an impression of a "red zone" dog, Ian Dunbar has treated it as a social misgiving) Try this under a leash control:get her to walk BEHIND another (calm)dog for awhile in the park. It's not so much as the walking as it is the gradual introduction. A head on meeting is not sociable to dogs. Give her a chance to gradually get accustomed and let her sniff the lead dogs butt. This is not a cure all, but a great beginning.Reward and praise as usual for tiny steps till the greeting is well mannered for all party's.Tiny steps toward a goal .
