[For My Coby]

Most of the time when I bring her over to the dog, she's fine, but some times she sniffs and then again starts violently barking. Then I remove her from the situation.

She only does this on a leash, when I take her to the dog park or she plays with other dogs inside off-leash (even dogs she hasn't met before), she is totally fine, no peep.

When she barks like that, I usually make her sit down, or I hold her laying down on the ground until she's calmed down. I'm going to have to try the water pistol though, that looks like a great idea.

I have heard others say that. Coby's not been off leash around other dogs (other than the older one), so I don't know if he's like that. But there must some good explanation for that.
