Thanks for all of the tips! The problem at this point is finding the "other" dog. She is a fixed female and I took her with muzzle and leash to a dog park several times, but the other dogs are off leash and when they approach her she bares her teeth and then they attack her. The other owners there made it pretty clear that my dog was not too welcome! I pointed out that she was on her leash and muzzled, but they all quickly steered their dogs away.
As I said, there are two dogs who like to come visit: one is a very well trained male and they never get to meet off Athena's property. The other is an extremely spoiled, poorly trained female whose owner gets completely hysterical if there is anything which looks like aggression. (She really makes the situation so much worse!)
DH had suggested to the male dog's owner that we leash the dogs so that they cannot quite reach each other and let them smell each other for a while but she declined.
What I am hearing is I need to take her to a class and that is not likely due to lack of money and time...... Is there anyway you guys can think of that I might be able to hook up with someone in a less formal setting??
