Hello all, I have a 4 y/o blind Aussie who is super friendly and playful with people and other dogs. However, she reacts very strongly when meeting new dogs. This started when she was between 2 and 3 years old. She gets overly excited (particularly if they are moving about quickly, not being still for her to sniff), stops to smell them and then lunges toward them growling and snapping usually around their neck and face. It's embarrassing because she really is friendly and would love to play once she learns their smell and calms down. But understandably the other owner usually is terrified to bring their dog around again thinking she's aggressive despite me explaining her sensitivity due to being blind. She plays well with the dogs she is already familiar with, but I don't know how to train her to calmly greet new dogs now. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks I didn't find the right solution from the internet. References: handicappedpet.net/helppets/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=176972d animation
