In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. 🙂 I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.
Teaser dog

The other day I was working in my garden (finally got some spring weather to get started) and keeping an eye on EL D - to make sure he wasn't laying on the newly planted. He was just sitting nicely a little ways away seemingly enjoying the sun – with an old plant pot lying nearby
. As soon as he saw me looking at him, he got this basenji gleam in his eye 
, and snatched the pot and started running with it, all the while keeping an eye on me :D. What a little tease he can be.
