I walk a lot dog-aggressive dogs at a shelter, and all of the dogs undergo a two week quarantine period when they first arrive, so they can't meet any dogs or people on the street. We can only touch them after we put gowns and gloves on. Also, we often have big, exuberant dogs that love other canines, but tend to scare people with their enthusiasm. I walk all of them easily, with a very simple method: when we see other dogs or people coming, we cross the street. If that's not possible, we go off to the side, and I give the dog a treat and distract them while the other dog passes.
