This is my sisters dog Jady (sounds like J-D) in action haha:
For years shes been locked up in the basement, mainly in a crate because my sister had children and Jady was just way too big, energetic and could easily knock them to the ground.
My sister asked me to babysit her recently while she was on vacation, so I've taken her home and we both decided that I'm going to keep her since she is old and should make the best of her last years.
If you guys could give me any advice as to getting her to be more friendly around other dogs when I take her on walks and such would be very appreciated. She usually barks and gets violent when she comes across a new dog and I have no idea how to deal with it, but I know it's only because she is not used to it and has no idea what to do in the situation but defend herself.
Also, her nails are very long...I should take her into a vet to get them cut correct? And not try to do it myself?
Shes my new baby and we've both fallen in love
she follows me around everywhere, she is just the sweetest thing.

There are quite a few threads on training if you do a search.
as for the training, if u want to do it on ur own, i would suggest doing a search here, and get some books and just educate urself. if you are new to nail clipping and it makes u nervous, any vet or groomer can clip them. my groomer charges $8 to clip the nails and i think its worth every penny.
