It went very well, thanks for asking!
Dawna suggested we go to the dog park (she wasen't able to bring her two dogs)... she wanted to see how Rita reacts to other dogs. Rita did what she normally does, growl, and whine a lot. So Dawna just had some treats in her hand, and she did the 'watch me'. So basically were just trying to get Rita to realize that seeing other dogs is NOT a bad thing... we praise and treat her a lot when she makes good choices. (Not looking at other dogs, and throwing a huge fit)
