I could make a lot of suggestions, but not sure any would work as I'm not a trainer and have a male afraid of noise and have been unable to get him over it. So hoping others will pop in.
The one thing you could try since she is timid and unlikely to attack another dog, is walk her w dogs, far enough away they can't hurt each other, but close enough there is some companionship. Remember dogs sense your feelings so you must be very calm and unafraid. Do it until she settles down and is comfortable, then move them a bit closer together, (if other dog is still friendly). She may have to learn some manners w dogs, except boxer to boxer, most dogs take offense at being pawed. They don't think it is play.
Can anyone teach me how to integrate my 7 yr. old female boxer, Layla with other dogs?I rescued her at 10 months. She was living in an unheated, unairconditioned garage, 24 hours a day. I've let her go up to other dogs, but she does the boxer punching paws play thing and every dog I've tried to introduce her to starts growling. Layla, I think is very nervous around other dogs or even when she sees one while she looking outside. Her hair goes up, she whimpers, barks,is fidgety, and I swear she shakes a little. I've tried helping her through these episodes by petting her, hugging her, speaking calmly,telling her it's ok. I've also tried scolding her, removing her from the window, covering her eyes, LOL, tell her no bark, all to no avail. Can someone help me? Oh, also she is afraid of water!
