<human>: Hi all,

My dog has some issues with other dogs. It's quite strange since she has been in a shelter most her life with dogs all around her. She was clearly not uncomfortable with dogs at the shelter when we picked her up.

We have now noticed that she suddenly does not like dogs. I'm thinking this might be because she's becoming an adult (she's 1 year old) or she has a family now and wants to protect us.

We have actually made a lot of progress as she can go on long walks and see other dogs walking across the street etc. and not get to aggressive. She will however growl (she hardly ever barks so her growl I guess is like her bark) and stop as if she wants to go over and bite the other dog if it is too close to her, off leash or any other situation apart from if it's on a leash and walking with it's owner away from her.

I really want to try and socalise her with other dogs. I think it would really benefit her to play with other dogs at the dog park etc. as she is getting a bit rough with her play with humans and starting to bite etc. it looks more like she should be doing that with another dog.

Another thread on here suggested to another owner of a dog who is biting humans to take the dog to the park and let the other dogs 'teach' it kind of, and that helped a lot. I really want to get my dog out and able to be around dogs without trying to bite their heads off.

Past experience: We went to a friend's place with their dog. She instantly growled at him. But she did let him sniff her and she sniff him. But then she kept growling and eventually tried to bite.

Has anyone got any tips on allowing my dog to be comfortable with other dogs around?? Or an experience with a similar dog?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: My dog doesn't like other dogs for some reason, but I would like her to be comfortable enough with them to play with them and go to dog park.
