[nagdu] ranting handling skills?

[Hope Paulos]

I'm trying to think what I did to get my dog past this hurttle.  I spoke 
with Fidelco, where my dog came from. They used clicker work and had me 
basically do the same thing Mehgan suggested-- had her sit until the dog 
passes. It also helps to talk to the dog  to get his/her focus back on you. 
To this day, if my dog sees another dog and becomes focused, I'll just talk 
to her as we continue down the street.
