Shana, you have a lot on your plate, too. Love your DA description: T-rex. Funny, but not funny.

Recognizing that she needs confidence first:

What are your plans for building confidence and making her (at least more) indifferent (or from the sounds of it less skeptical?) to other dogs?

Well we started training with a group a few weeks ago nothing big working on her drive and a little bit of bite work but in just a short amount of time that has seemed to be really pulling her out of her shell. Different sounds smells people and experiences all positive have really improved they way she feels about new environments. We have also finally gotten some good obedience down so on our walks she goes into a sit and gets fed some yummy treats while another dog walks by. Had a great walk the other day where she saw another dog and then looked at me for her treats instead of our usual t-Rex routine. I want to do my best to make sure everytime she sees a dog it's something positive on the leash. Off leash she's great runs a plays with the other new dogs no problem just want that to transfer to everywhere
