So, I seem to have gotten the Yorkie with the "I love everyone" personality (vs. the deeply attached to only me personality) which is great, except for on walks she will greet another person's dog a little too enthusiastically because she doesn't realize the other dog might not like her so much, and then she'll try to jump up on the owner. I tell her to sit (which she will always do when we're home), but she's deaf for my requests at that point.

Has anyone else had to deal with this? I need her to meet the other dogs and people because we only have her at home and she's still a puppy (5 months) so socialization is definitely needed, but I'm not sure the best way to go about teaching her to be a bit more calm for her own good, and so other the other dog owners in the neighborhood don't start avoiding us.
