Good luck.
Great idea with the stroller - I do have to come up with an alternative to that because a stroller would make me the town clown - it is considered outright stupid to have your dog in one of those.
So I will think about alternatives and maybe try to ask around for people with smaller dogs to train her socializing

Thank you
