Ive a lady friend with a problem dog, and this is the last resort
before putting the dog down.

I know those dogs... they change dramatically if you expose them to lots
o people.

But you can't just bring them there, you have to be involved with
getting to know the other people (and their dogs.) The dog takes the
que somehow and changes his/her ideas about others.

Socialization is the key.

Correct, as does having control of the dog in the first place, i.e., the dog
owner establishing and reinforcing herself as alpha. Of course, then you
get into the area of human behavior with some women (and men, for that
matter) not being comfortable establishing themselves as an alpha, in which
case a professional dog trainer will help train the human how to assert
themselves in the relationship.

Dogs are easy to train; training people to understand the factors that
influence behavior is the tough part.
