Yes, she has met them. But she seems to go on the defensive immediately with growling and barking. The other dogs just walk away from her not even barking, that's why it's weird. The one neighbor does have a smaller dog and it's the same thing. I'm just confused why she did so well with the trainer's 4 large dogs. I'm wondering if it's a territorial thing. With the neighbors she is on or close to her territory and with the trainer we were at her house at an unfamiliar place.
