My pug dog is great with strangers (even children), but she always tries to nip other dogs and barks at them?

She seems to go the most crazy when the other dog is extremely large. She even bit a rotweiler that I was trying to introduce her to. I pick her up and scold her, but she just gets angrier. What can I do to get her to socialize with other dogs in a non-violent manner? Scolding her doesn’t seem to work. The home she came from had about five other small dogs and she was fine there.

    She may be trying to protect YOU from the larger dogs, or she may be frightened of them and reacting to her fear. You might try contacting a trainer (Obedience training) to find out how best to socialize her with larger dogs.
    Good luck!
