It's Me or the Dog - Jilly Johnson's Great Danes - Sunday, Aug 08, 2010 - mReplay Livedash TV Transcript - Livedash - Search what is being mentioned across national TV

an undersocialized adolescent Dane, who reacts H-U-G-E-L-Y when he gets close to other dogs;
his owner is encouraged to use a headcollar [habituated - not just throw it on the dog & go],
does some distant desensitization, a 'Follow Me' walk - named for the little guiding vehicles at airports,
where one dog follows another to learn their scents, watch them from a distance, etc, THEN they meet -
cautiously - after standing about at a distance for a few moments - and he meets his first dog.
he also gets to play, another first [i would not do this all in one session, as the odds of over-arousal
and mouthing, barking madly, or snapping are too great; slower is safer and gets U there without accidents.
but in this case, luckily, it works out, there are no over-the-top events of lunging, humping, pawing, etc].

her homework is to meet A Dog A Day - carefully, to whatever degree he can cope: watch them, follow them,
sniff their tracks & marks, and maybe - if he copes with a slow approach in AN ARC - meet the dog,
not head to head but at an angle.
