Ok,
While I still think having some sort of professional (either a trainer, or perhaps an experienced breeder/dog owner) might help to ensure that you are seeing what you think you are seeing...

Try this...

Is she food motivated? While walking, remain calm, if you see another dog approach...turn walk away...if you can use a treat to get her to focus on you instead, as soon as she is making eye contact with YOU...reward her...and if it is hard for her...hit her with the Jackpot...every second she is watching you and not paying attention to the other dog is worth a treat...Eventually your goal would be that Bella sees another dog and immediately turns to you for a treat! Reward, reward, reward...

Then the other dog is not a threat...but something that makes good things happen.

If she is very sensitive, you might have to start when you see a dog far in the distance...but eventually you should be able to get closer...BUT timing is everything...you want to be rewarding her for looking at YOU...not reacting to the dog...

Best of Luck...And above all KEEP CALM...isn't that the British saying....
KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON! Its become very popular on this side of the pond lately.
